Pulmonary Hypertension Inspiratory Training
Sponsor: University of Arizona
Summary
This study is examining the effects of six weeks of inspiratory muscle strength training (IMST) on outcomes related to pulmonary hypertension. This study leverages previous cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) results and a pre-existing upcoming CPET to examine the effects of IMST on cardiopulmonary pressures and exercise tolerance and ability.
