This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing whether a guided home exercise program can help people recently diagnosed with pulmonary arterial hypertension (a condition where blood vessels in the lungs become narrowed, making it harder for the heart to pump blood). Half of the participants will start the exercise program right away while taking their regular medications, and the other half will continue with medication alone for 12 weeks before starting the program. The trial also tests whether extra support from the research team helps people stick with exercise long-term.
People with pulmonary arterial hypertension often feel tired, short of breath, and worried about their condition. This trial wants to see if adding exercise to the standard medication treatment can improve how far people can walk, boost their quality of life, and help their mental health—giving doctors a new tool to help newly diagnosed patients feel better sooner.

You will start standard medication treatment for your condition and be seen in the clinic 3 months later. Then you'll be randomly assigned to either begin a 12-week home exercise program (supervised remotely by the research team) or to continue with medication alone for 12 weeks before starting the program. After completing the exercise program, you'll come back to clinic and may be randomly assigned to either receive extra support from the research team to help you keep exercising, or to continue exercising on your own. The whole study involves clinic visits, home-based exercise sessions, and questionnaires about how you're feeling.
