Key result
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing in COVID-19 survivors at 3 months reveals only mild exercise capacity impairment due to deconditioning, with preserved ventilatory and gas exchange responses.
Why the study?
What is the mechanism of impaired exercise response in COVID-19 survivors at 3 months follow-up?
What is the mechanism of impaired exercise response in COVID-19 survivors at 3 months follow-up?
Impaired exercise capacity in COVID-19 survivors at 3 months is mild and primarily driven by deconditioning rather than intrinsic cardiopulmonary deficits.
Supports deconditioning-focused rehab in post-COVID patients at 3 months; hypothesis-generating pending larger prospective confirmation.
