Summary

Aim of investigators was to study whether abnormalities of lung diffusing capacity for nitric oxide (DLNO) and carbon monoxide (DLCO) in long COVID may have a clinical impact in relation to exercise intolerance.

Conditions

  • Long COVID
  • Breathlessness
  • Exercise Intolerance
  • Alveolar Lung Disease
  • Pulmonary Gas Exchange

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Lung volumes, spirometry and standard single-breath DLCO were measured at rest while combined DLNO and DLCO were measured at rest and post-exercise

DLNO and DLCO were measured at rest and 5-10 s after a bout of treadmill exercise simulating usual walking
