Optimal aerobic exercise intensity and its influence on the effectiveness of exercise therapy in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Exercise intensity in exercise training programs is an important determinant of program efficacy, such as improvement in exercise capacity and quality of life (QOL). It is not well known whether differently applied exercise intensities are efficacious when used in exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation programs for patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).

Methods

Three databases (PubMed, EMBASE, and CINAHL) were searched with the following inclusion criteria: comparative study of exercise interventions for patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.
