Brief Summary:
Patients suffering from pulmonary arterial hypertension PAH frequently remain symptomatic despite medical therapy Symptoms include breathlessness poor exercise capacity and reduced quality of life
In many other serious heart or lung diseases it has been shown that physical rehabilitation improves patients fitness and quality of life In PAH there are no clear guidelines and in general physical activity has traditionally been discouraged although evidence for this advice is lacking Interesting research project in Germany showed significant benefit for in-patient rehabilitation in PAH patients
In this study we will perform a controlled clinical study of out-patient rehabilitation of patients with PAH We hypothesize that physical training of patients will result in increased exercise capacity and improved quality of life
