Rehab for lungs and heart: a new hope for COPD patients with high blood pressure in the lungs?

This study reviewed medical records of 59 adults with COPD to see if a standard pulmonary rehabilitation program is safe and effective for those who also have pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). Researchers compared how much walking distance improved in people with and without pulmonary hypertension after completing at least three weeks of rehab. The goal is to understand if this common treatment works equally well for both groups.
