Abstract:
Objective:To clarify the content on exercise training in patients with connective tissue disease-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension through a scoping review.Methods:Using the scoping review methodological framework proposed by Arksey and O'Malley as a guide, Chinese and English databases such as PubMed, Embase, Wanfang Data, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure were searched to screen the literature on exercise training for patients with connective tissue disease-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension. The search period was from database establishment to April 30, 2024. Two researchers extracted basic information of the included literature, content of the pre-exercise training assessment, exercise training program, and outcome indicators.Results:A total of 13 articles were included. The content of the pre-exercise training assessment in patients with connective tissue disease-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension was not standardized. The type of exercise training was based on aerobic, resistance and respiratory training, with a focus on home exercise. The main outcome indicators included the 6-minute walk distance, cardiopulmonary function, quality of life, and muscle strength.Conclusions:There are various types of exercise training for patients with connective tissue disease-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension, which are safe and feasible. Future research should focus on conducting home-based exercise training programs and constructing core outcome indicators to assess the effectiveness of exercise training.
