Remote Exercise Program for High Blood Pressure in the Lungs

This trial is testing whether a supervised exercise program delivered through video calls can help people with elevated pulmonary artery pressure — high blood pressure in the vessels of the lungs. Half of participants will do aerobic, endurance, and strengthening exercises guided by a physical therapist in real-time, while the other half will do breathing and posture exercises. The study will measure whether the more intensive exercise program improves fitness, energy levels, and daily functioning.

People with elevated lung blood pressure often feel short of breath, fatigued, and limited in their daily activities. While exercise has been shown to help similar heart and lung patients, researchers want to know whether delivering exercise supervision through video calls — which is convenient and accessible — works just as well as in-person sessions.
