Highlights Ours is one of the first CPET studies to highlight reduced O2 pulse peak % predicted (impaired oxygen extraction) as a mechanism of chronic fatigue and exercise intolerance in long COVID. Our study identified chronotropic intolerance as a potential biomarker in long COVID. We...

Abstract: Background and Objectives: Post-exertional malaise (PEM) is the hallmark of myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), but there has been little effort to quantitate the duration of PEM symptoms following a known exertional stressor. Using a Symptom Severity Scale...

Abstract Some survivors of humidifier disinfectants (HDs) complain of chronic, inexplicable fatigue, and post-exertional malaise (PEM). Two-day cardiopulmonary exercise tests (CPETs) performed 24 hours apart (2-day CPET protocol) are increasingly employed to evaluate PEM and related...

https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0277984 Introduction After the acute Sars-CoV-2-infection, some athletes suffer from persistent, performance-impairing symptoms, although the course of the disease is often mild to moderate. The relation between cardiopulmonary...

Abstract This study aimed to assess pulmonary and muscle dysfunction by analyzing the slow component of oxygen uptake (VO2SC), and mechanical and ventilatory efficiency in adult women recovered from the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type II (SARS-CoV-2) during a constant load...

Abstract Objective Examine the relationship between symptoms and exercise physiological parameters in patients with long covid. Methods Patients with long covid symptoms 6–12 months after covid19 infection referred to the long covid clinic were invited for Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing...

So, I need a 2-day CPET. My doctor ordered one for me. Problem is, I can't find anyone to do it. I live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. My insurance is Medicare. First I called both major health systems in my city, and they both said they can't do it. Then I called the Cleveland Clinic, and they...

Abstract Patients recovering from COVID-19 often report symptoms of exhaustion, fatigue and dyspnoea and present with exercise intolerance persisting for months post-infection. Numerous studies investigated these sequelae and their possible underlying mechanisms using cardiopulmonary exercise...

John Derek Franklin, Michael Graham (School of Health and Life Sciences, Teesside University, Middlesbrough, UK) Received 31 May 2022, Accepted 29 Jul 2022, Published online: 16 Aug 2022 Background Repeated maximal exercise separated by 24 hours may be useful in identifying possible objective...

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), with systemic organ damage in the most severe forms. Long-term complications of SARS-CoV-2 appear to be restricted to severe presentations of COVID-19, but many...

The use of oxygen as a possible screening biomarker for the diagnosis of chronic fatigue Fernando Pifarréa, Lluís Rossellób, Raúl Hilenoc, Joan Palmic, Llúcia Bañeresc, Antoni Planasc, Joan Antoni Prat Abstract Background The aim of this study was to verify whether the mean percentage of...

Preprint Abstract Importance: Reduced exercise capacity is commonly reported among individuals with Long COVID (LC). Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is the gold-standard to measure exercise capacity to identify causes of exertional intolerance. Objectives: To estimate the effect of...

Preprint. Inflammation during early post-acute COVID-19 is associated with reduced exercise capacity and Long COVID symptoms after 1 year, 2022, Durstenfeld Abstract BACKGROUND Mechanisms underlying persistent cardiopulmonary symptoms following SARS-CoV-2 infection (post-acute sequelae of...

Abstract Adults with long COVID often report intolerance to exercise. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) has been used in many settings to measure exercise ability but has been conducted in a few long COVID cohorts. We conducted CPET in a sample of adults reporting long COVID symptoms...

JCI Insight Plasma metabolomics reveals disrupted response and recovery following maximal exercise in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Abstract Post-exertional malaise (PEM) is a hallmark symptom of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS). We monitored...

Full title: Cardiopulmonary, metabolic, and perceptual responses during exercise in Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS): A Multi-site Clinical Assessment of ME/CFS (MCAM) sub-study. Abstract Background Cardiopulmonary exercise testing has demonstrated clinical utility in...

Abstract Background. Following COVID-19, patients often present with ongoing symptoms comparable to chronic fatigue and subjective deterioration of exercise capacity (EC), which has been recently described as postacute COVID-19 syndrome. Objective. To objectify the reduced EC after COVID-19...

Abstract Objectives The authors used cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) to define unexplained dyspnea in patients with post-acute sequelae of severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection (PASC). We assessed participants for criteria to diagnose myalgic...
