Summary

Background

Hospital-based walking exercise tests are routinely used in patients with pulmonary hypertension to assess functional ability and disease progression over time. We are seeing a greater emphasis on non-face-to-face clinical assessments, where such tests cannot be conducted. It is important to identify alternative tests which can be which can be conducted by patients at home and used to support clinical decision making.

Aim

To test the safety of the 1-minute sit-to-stand test in patients with pulmonary hypertension and its comparability with hospital-based walking exercise tests.

Methods

A sample of 75 patients attending hospital appointments will carry out an Incremental Shuttle Walk Test, followed by a 1-minute sit-to-stand test after a 30 minute rest. Data will be analysed for safety and comparability between the 2 tests.

In the event of favourable findings (safety and comparability) from the hospital-based testing, a further sample of patients will be asked to perform the 1-minute sit-to-stand test in the home setting
