Many patients with cardiac disease undergoing cardiac rehabilitation (CR) have concomitant obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), which is associated with pulmonary hypertension (PH). We evaluated the impact of PH and OSA on CR outcomes. Using data from 290 patients participating in CR, we concluded that treating OSA in patients with PH may be associated with improved CR outcomes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
