Özet

Objective: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare disease. Although muscle strength, exercise capacity, quality of life, and activities of daily living of patients with PAH are affected, it is not known how they are affected by disease severity. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of disease severity on upper extremity muscle strength, exercise capacity, and performance of activities of daily living in patients with PAH.
