Description

Study participants will undergo testing to identify patterns of right ventricular dysfunction. If a study participant decides to participate in exercise training, the participant will complete an optional Part 2 of the study. Optional Part 2 includes an exercise training intervention followed by repeat testing to determine impact of exercise training on right ventricular dysfunction.
