Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether a home rehabilitation program for patients diagnosed with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) will decrease Cardiac Effort (number of heart beats used during 6-minute walk test/walk distance) and improve quality of life. Ultimately, this information could help improve the management of patients with PAH.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Follows at University of Rochester Medical Center Pulmonary Hypertension Clinic. * Adult patients (\>18 years old) with right heart catheterization confirmed pulmonary hypertension (PAH) on stable vasodilator dosing for at least 30 days. No planned titrations will occur during the 12-week study. If during the study, the treating physician feels it is necessary for safety reasons to adjust dosing, the subject will remain in their assigned group. * Access to a smart phone or email to receive daily messages. If patients do not have access to either, we will offer a smartphone with cellular service for use during the study to receive daily messages. * Clinically stable by the investigator (i.e., we will not enroll patients who endorse ongoing improvement or clinical worsening at enrollment). * The treating investigator (Dr. Lachant or Dr. White) will review the clinical data of an eligible patient and establish them as safe to participate prior to approaching the p
