Brief Summary: Pulmonary hypertension PH leads to impaired physical condition PC body composition BC and health-related quality of life HRQOL We hypothesized that a 3 week inpatient pulmonary rehabilitation PR improves PC BC and HRQOL
Detailed Description: Pulmonary hypertension PH impairs physical condition PC body composition BC and health-related quality of life HRQOL

Specific pharmacological treatment and - in selected patients refractory to agents - lung or combined heart and lung transplantation can improve physical functioning and long term survival Initial trials with limited numbers of patients were encouraging Investigation of larger cohorts is essential to assess the efficacy of rehabilitation programmes in PH

We hypothesize that a 3 week inpatient pulmonary rehabilitation PR improves PC BC and HRQOL in patients with PH in functional classes FC II and III Critical ill patients with a functional class IV are excluded All patients with PH undergo a 3-week inpatient rehabilitation program interval bicycle and strength training physiotherapy psychological support education Exercise testing peak work load PWL 6-min-walk distance body composition bioimpedance analysis BIA lean body mass LBM body cell mass BCM BCMLBM ratio phase angle PA and HRQOL SF 36 questionnaire are assessed at baseline and completion of PR
