Popis: Introduction: Our objective was to evaluate whether there is a cardiorespiratory limitations in PE,and secondarily analyze functional changes after surgery. Material and Methods: A prospective study of patients in preoperative assessment from 2012to2014.We analyzed epidemiological,clinical variables,quality of life,severity index(PSI),EKG and echocardiographic alterations(TAPSE),physical activity(IPAQ),functional variables(FEV1,FVC, DLCO) and stress test.An analysis of the variables at baseline and after first year postsurgery. Results: n=17 patients.Baseline characteristics were shown below . Correlation is performed between PSI and TAPSE(r=-0.4),as well as the VO2 max(r=-0.3),not being significant. Bellow shows the correlations between baseline and after surgery. Conclusions: Patients with PE have more symptoms and cardiopulmonary alterations in relation to the effort. There is an improvement in the quality of life after surgery. Although in the functional data at rest there are no differences before and after surgery. Data that support the physiological changes in the PE mainly during physical exercise that improve after correction of the same.
