Evaluation of the Strength of Handgrip in Patients With Pulmonary Artery Hypertension

NCT05447390 · Status: UNKNOWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 55

Last updated 2022-07-07

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Our study aims to investigate the changes in muscle strength and muscle mass in PAH patients compared to healthy individuals and determine its effects on prognosis.

Further categorization of PAH patients based on their NYHA class will help determine if their handgrip strength decreases while progressing from NYHA class 1 to 4. This in turn allows us to examine if the handgrip test can be considered as an alternative to a 6-minute walking test (6MWT).

The Jamar Hydraulic Hand Dynamometer device in our hospital is used for measuring the handgrip strength test.

The data of the included subjects in this study are obtained and recorded from the existing files. Also, the handgrip strength test data will be recorded after the investigation
