Abstract:
In healthy subjects, exercise causes a complex cardiovascular and ventilatory response that allows for a 20-fold increase of oxygen consumption as compared to rest. In pulmonary hypertension (PH) this response is very much limited by a restriction of the maximum cardiac output (CO). This restriction is caused by a massively increased afterload of the right ventricle (RV) despite an adaptation that doubles right ventricular contractility as compared to normal controls.1
