The HD patients with probable PH had the worst cardiorespiratory fitness and pulmonary function. Exploratory analyses showed that greater cardiopulmonary fitness was associated with better cardiac function. Moreover, increments in cardiorespiratory fitness and pulmonary function may increase the chance of not having PH.
