Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is often associated with cardiac autonomic dysfunction, and heart rate variability (HRV) as marker of cardiac autonomic function is even related to disease severity. Knowledge about the effects of physical activity on HRV is limited in these patients. We aimed to assess whether HRV parameters can be influenced by a supervised exercise training program and whether respective changes are related to levels of activity.
