What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The pulmonary arterial pressure does not increase dramatically during the 30 minutes exercise test, but decreases significantly after the first 5 minutes of exercise.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The cardiac output is stable after the first 5 minutes of exercise, despite the high intensity work loads every 5 minutes.
