Hemodynamic effects of cycle ergometry and low-intensity handgrip in patients with pulmonary hypertension
Compared with cycle ergometry, low-intensity isometric handgrip exercise at 20% of maximal force produces significantly smaller alterations in hemodynamic parameters measured by RHC in PH patients, and thus is not suitable as an adequate substitute for the established exercise modality.
