In patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH), shortness of breath, fatigue, chest pain, and syncope limit exercise capacity. Exercise tests are often time-consuming, expensive, and some patients may not be able to perform such procedures and they are also difficult to apply in the studies including large samples. The aim of this study was to translate and culturally adapt the DASI into Turkish and to investigate its reliability and validity in patients with PH.
