Abstract
Patients with severe PH showed an exhausted circulatory reserve at the end of exercise. A profile of circulatory reserve in combination with ventilatory impairments was found in patients with COPD and moderate or no PH. The results suggest that pulmonary vasodilation might only improve exercise tolerance in patients with COPD and severe PH.
