Abstract:
In the past, patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) were advised to avoid exercise due to concerns that it might strain cardiac function and exacerbate symptoms. However, recent evidence indicates that structured exercise programs can enhance outcomes and improve health-related quality of life for these patients. Consequently, exercise rehabilitation is now recommended in international guidelines as a key component of PH management. This consensus statement, developed by experts from the Taiwan Society of Cardiology Pulmonary Hypertension and Circulation Committee, the Taiwan Academy of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation, and the Taiwan Association of Caring for pulmonary arterial hypertension, emphasizes the significance of rehabilitation and tailored exercise programs for PH patients. This article aims to raise awareness and promote the adoption of these practices among healthcare professionals treating patients with PH.
