Assessing the physiological impact of exercise intensity on pulmonary artery pressure in healthy volunteers using a novel stress echocardiography protocol Open
Background Pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) response to exercise is frequently investigated in a wide range of heart disease. Yet, there remains a grey area, especially in special groups such as athletes, where normal PAP response to exerci…
