Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on understanding the physiological limitations in patients experiencing dyspnea (shortness of breath) after mild COVID-19.
- Patients who had mild COVID-19 (group A) were compared with those who had moderate/severe COVID-19 (group B) and those with unexplained dyspnea (group C) using various tests like pulmonary function tests and cardiopulmonary exercise tests.
- Results showed that while diffusion capacity was lower in group B compared to group A, the 6-minute walk test was normal for both groups, and group A had higher oxygen uptake, suggesting different underlying mechanisms for dyspnea in mild and more severe cases.
- The study concludes that patients with mild post-COVID dyspnea exhibited normal
