No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a home rehabilitation program for patients diagnosed with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) will decrease Cardiac Effort (number of heart beats used during 6-minute walk test/walk distance) and improve quality of life. Ultimately, this information could help improve the management of patients with PAH.

Conditions

  • Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension PAH

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Exercise

The intervention group will receive daily activity messages sent through SMS text message or email.The messages will provide daily exercises with heart rate guidance.

BEHAVIORAL

Standard of Care

The control group will receive daily non-descript messages to help with blinding and to eliminate the confounding variable of daily contact. The messages will not include activity tasks and will include phrases such as "I hope you have a good day".
