Home-based Pulmonary Rehabilitation With Remote Monitoring in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Feasibility of Home-based Pulmonary Rehabilitation With Remote Monitoring in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

The purpose of this study is to test new technology and health coaching aimed to help people with PAH become more physically active in their daily lives.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Diagnosis of PAH, confirmed by right heart catheterization (mean pulmonary artery pressure of 20 mmHg or greater, pulmonary vascular resistance of 3.0 Woods units or greater, Pulmonary capillary wedge pressure of 15 mmHg or lower).
• On PAH-specific therapy which is at stable dosing (i.e., not currently titrating therapy).
• NYHA class II-III symptoms.
• Able to complete a six-minute walk test.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients experiencing syncope or exertional syncope.
• Patients not experiencing exertional dyspnea.
• Inability to walk.
• Patients currently in pulmonary rehab or having completed pulmonary rehab within three months (unlikely to improve).
