Exercise training is recommended for pulmonary hypertension (PH). Post hoc analysis of the PH and Home-Based (PHAHB) trial stratified patients into two groups based on median diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO). Patients with higher DLCO had a greater improvement in physical activity performance in response to exercise training, compared to those with lower DLCO. DLCO may be an important consideration in prescribing exercise in PH.
推荐对肺动脉高压(PH)患者进行运动训练。对肺动脉高压与居家治疗(PHAHB)试验进行事后分析,根据肺一氧化碳弥散量(DLCO)的中位数将患者分为两组。与DLCO较低的患者相比,DLCO较高的患者在接受运动训练后体力活动表现有更大改善。在为PH患者开运动处方时,DLCO可能是一个重要的考虑因素。
