The study aimed to examine the effects of inspiratory muscle training (IMT) in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). A total of 24 patients with PH were included in the randomized controlled evaluator-blind study. IMT was performed at 40% to 60% of the maximal inspiratory pressure for 30 min/d, 7 d/wk (1 day supervised) for 8 weeks. Respiratory muscle strength, dyspnea, diaphragm thickness (DT), pulmonary functions, 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure (BP), arterial stiffness, exercise capacity, upper extremity functional exercise capacity, physical activity levels, fatigue, anxiety-depression levels, activities of daily living (ADL), and quality of life were evaluated. A total of 24 patients (treatment = 12, control = 12) completed the 8-week follow-up. There was no significant difference between the patient groups in terms of demographic and clinical characteristics (p >0.05). Considering the change between the groups in the treatment and control groups, brachial and central BP, dyspnea, respiratory muscle strength, DT in total lung capacity, knee extension muscle strength, functional exercise capacity, upper extremity functional exercise capacity, physical activity, ADL, fatigue, anxiety, and quality of life improved in favor of the IMT group (p <0.05). In conclusion, IMT has improved brachial and central BP, dyspnea, respiratory muscle strength, DT in total lung capacity, knee extension muscle strength, functional exercise capacity, upper extremity functional exercise capacity, physical activity, ADL, fatigue, anxiety, and quality of life compared with the control group. IMT is an effective method in cardiopulmonary rehabilitation for patients with PH.
