Özet

Background: Patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) present impairments in muscle strength and exercise capacity. There is growing evidence about the benefits of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) in patients with respiratory diseases, except in patients with PAH. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of NMES on muscle strength, and other physical and psychosocial variables in patients with PAH.
