The Effect of Exercise on Endothelin 1 Level in Patients with Pulmonary Hypertension

Endothelin-1 (ET-1), a potent vasoconstrictor, is elevated in heart failure as well as in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). To our knowledge little is known about ET-1 level in exercise induced pulmonary hypertension when compared to group 1 and 2 pulmonary hypertension. We aim to assess effect of exercise on ET-1 levels in different types of pulmonary hypertension.
