Pulmonary Hypertension and Measurement of Exercise Capacity Remotely: Evaluation of the 1-min Sit-to-Stand Test (PERSPIRE) - a cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Multiparameter risk assessment is recommended to aid treatment decisions in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension. The 1-min sit-to-stand test (1MSTS) has been validated for use in other respiratory illnesses. The aim of this study was to evaluate its safety in the hospital setting and potential utility in remote assessment in patients with pulmonary hypertension.

Methods

In a prospective cohort study design patients performed the 1MSTS and incremental shuttle walk test (ISWT) on the same day. The primary aim of the study was to assess safety signals and correlations with other metrics used in risk assessment.

Results

60 patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension and 15 with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension were enrolled. No adverse
