Characteristics of Daily Walking Bouts as Valid and Reliable Indicators of Exercise Capacity in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Insights From the Randomized Controlled Study With Selexipag (TRACE) There is a need for objective, continuous and remote assessment of exercise capacity in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Using data from the TRACE study, in which 108 adult patien...
