Evaluation of exercise training in PAH by means of a CPET. After 4 weeks of exercise training, peak VO2 raised from 17.3±4.2 to 19.9±4.5 mL/kg/min (*P<0.001) (from Bussotti et al. 2017). Symbols represent changes of peak VO2 for each of the 15 patients enrolled in the study; larger black diamonds represent mean values ± SD. T1, baseline; T2, after 4 weeks of training; PAH, pulmonary arterial hypertension; CPET, cardiopulmonary exercise test.
