Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Post-pulmonary embolism (PE) dyspnea is common. Existing noninvasive studies have demonstrated that post-PE dyspnea is associated with elevations in right ventricular (RV) afterload, dead space ventilation, and deconditioning. We aimed to use invasive cardiopulmonary exercise testing (iCPET) parameters in patients with post-PE dyspnea to identify unique physiologic phenotypes. RESEARCH QUESTION: Do...
