“…The participant is directed to stop walking only when he or she becomes too breathless to maintain the required speed or can no longer keep up with the set pace. A progressive and maximal self-directed test, the ISWT has been validated against 6MWT results 41 , as have other smartphone-app based self-directed 6MWTs 42,43 . The most significant concern is assurance of the safety of the patient during testing, a factor that can potentially be ameliorated by training a family member or caregiver to supervise the patient during the test.…”

Patients affected by pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) benefit from intensive, continuous clinical monitoring to guide escalation of treatments that carry the potential to improve survival and quality of life. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for physical distancing has fueled the expeditious expansion of various telehealth modalities, which may apply in a unique manner to individuals with PAH. Performance of objective risk assessments in patients with PAH remotely via telemedical visits and other telehealth mechanisms is unprecedented and not yet rigorously validated. The uniquely high risk for rapid deterioration in PAH patients demands a high degree of sensitivity to detect changes in functional assessments. In this review, several telehealth modalities for potential utilization in risk assessment and treatment titration in patients with PAH are explored, yet additional study is needed for their validation with the pre-pandemic care paradigm.
