What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn the effectiveness of remote home-based exercise rehabilitation using mobile Internet technology for patients with pulmonary hypertension,especically providing early and mid-term results of its effectiveness. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Dose tele-rehabilitation training improves prognostic function and quality of life in patients with pulmonary hypertension? Researchers will compare tele-rehabilitation training group to a control group (receive health propaganda and education, and then follow their daily routine after discharge from the hospital) to see if tele-rehabilitation training works to improve prognosis.
Participants will:
During their stay in the hospital, the patients of tele-rehabilitation training group were accompanied by a rehabilitation trainer and a psychotherapist for a complete cycle of (7 days ± 3 days 1 week/
