Summary

This study tested whether 8 weeks of inspiratory muscle training (exercises to strengthen breathing muscles) could help 32 adults with pulmonary hypertension. Participants did breathing exercises using a special device. The goal was to see if it improved their exercise capacity and breathing. The study was double-blind, meaning neither patients nor researchers knew who was doing the real training.
