Abstract

“You need to exercise and stay active…a little breathlessness is alright…there is evidence to support its use … . visit your physiotherapist for a detailed exercise program”—How often have we said this to our patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH), without realizing what it is that they feel about it or trying to understand why they have difficulties to carry out their exercise regime? A new paper by Chia and colleagues1 in the current issue of Pulmonary Circulation has done just that—to identify the behaviors toward exercising, the potential barriers and facilitators, and the accessibility of these services through an international, online survey.
