ABSTRACT
Objectives:
Pulmonary hypertension [PH] is commonly observed in patients with diffuse parenchymal lung disease [DPLD]. The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of the 6-minute walk test [6MWT] as a simple, non-invasive tool to assess right ventricular [RV] function in patients with DPLD and to identify the need for an echocardiogram [ECHO] to screen for PH
