In healthy individuals is observed only a slight increase in pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) during exercise as a consequence of a fall in pulmonary vascular resistance. However, several investigators have described subsets of patients with pathologic PAP response to exercise and normal PAP at rest, so called "exercise induced pulmonary hypertension" (ExPHtn).

Abstract
In healthy individuals is observed only a slight increase in pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) during exercise as a consequence of a fall in pulmonary vascular resistance. However, several investigators have described subsets of patients with pathologic PAP response to exercise and normal PAP at rest, so called "exercise induced pulmonary hypertension" (ExPHtn). The natural history of ExPHtn and related therapeutic interventions need further studies.File in questo prodotto:
