Recruit Status: Not yet recruiting
Study Type: Interventional




Official Title: Hypoxemia, Dyspnea, and Exercise Tolerance in Patients With Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformations , With and Without Airflow Obstruction

Brief Summary: Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) are a rare vascular condition affecting the lungs. PAVMs lead to low blood oxygen levels, yet are very well tolerated by patients. This study will examine the exercise capacity of PAVM patients using formal cardiopulmonary exercise tests performed on a stationary bicycle, and whether this is affected by the presence of concurrent airflow obstruction, such as due to asthma.
