Applications to medical diagnosis are numerous. For example, ventilation (V′E) and mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) may overlap at rest, but markedly diverge during exercise in patients with pulmonary hypertension or heart failure and in healthy controls (figure 1). Accordingly, measurements of mPAP during exercise have been part of the diagnostic work-up of pulmonary hypertension since the early years of cardiac catheterisation, more than half a century ago [1]. Yet “exercise-induced pulmonary hypertension”, defined by higher than normal mPAP during exercise has failed to gain acceptance [2]. Why is this?Two studies in the September issue of the ERJ support the recognition of exercise-induced pulmonary hypertension http://ow.ly/Pk7xn ER -
