Özet:

 

Purpose: It is known that tobacco smoke exposure is a risk factor for the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension  PAH . In addition,  tobacco smoke exposure can cause numerous health problems. This study aimed to compare functional capacity, respiratory muscle strength,  and physical activity level between the patients with PAH who have or do not have tobacco smoke exposure.  Methods: Seventeen patients with PAH who has tobacco smoke exposure and 20 nonsmoker patients were included in this cross-sectional  study. Tobacco smoke exposure was defined as current smokers, ex-smokers, and passive smokers. The study outcomes included the maximal  inspiratory and expiratory pressure measurement, 6-minute walk test, and physical activity.  Results: There was no significant difference for age, gender, body mass index, pulmonary arterial pressure, and functional class between the  two groups  p>0.05 . Inspiratory muscle strength  p=0.035 , functional exercise capacity  p=0.040  and physical activity level  p=0.034  were  lower in patients with tobacco smoke expose compared to the nonsmokers.  Conclusion: The results of this study showed that functional capacity, respiratory muscle strength, and physical activity level were significantly  lower in patients with tobacco smoke expose than the nonsmoker patients with PAH. These findings suggest that tobacco smoking is not only  associated with PAH risk but also numerous health problems, specifically important ones for this population.
