Exercise Training for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
(ReV UP COPD Trial)
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This study plans to learn more about heart function among individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). In particular, the investigators want to understand the different patterns of right ventricular response during rest and moderate- vs high-intensity exercise. By identifying patterns of right ventricular dysfunction, this study will help identify better treatments for patients with COPD in the future.

Experimental Treatment
Participants will complete testing at rest and during moderate- and high-intensity exercise to identify patterns of right ventricular responses. Participants who based on baseline testing are eligible and decide to participate in the optional exercise training program will complete exercise training followed by repeat testing to determine the impact of exercise training on right ventricular dysfunction.
