Assessment of pulmonary arterial pressure during exercise in collagen vascular disease: echocardiography vs right-sided heart catheterization

This study compared the results of exercise Doppler echocardiography (EDE) with right-sided heart catheterization (RHC) and evaluated the combination of EDE and cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) as a screening method for early pulmonary vasculopathy in patients with connective tissue disease.
