Comprehensive treatment strategy in a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus-related pulmonary artery hypertension: a case report
The case presentation highlighted the potential benefits of comprehensive treatment strategy including immunosuppressive treatment, upfront combination therapy, and supervised exercise training. Notably, the initiation of cardiac rehabilitation at the early phase did not exacerbate her condition and might have contributed to remission of symptoms and improvement in exercise tolerance. This multidisciplinary approach achieved long-term good quality of life.
