BACKGROUND
A large number of patients around the world are recovering from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19); many of them report persistence of symptoms. The aim of this study was to test pulmonary, cardiovascular, and peripheral responses to exercise in patients recovering from COVID-19.
METHODS
Patients who recovered from COVID-19 were prospectively evaluated using a combined anatomic and functional assessment. All patients underwent clinical examination, laboratory tests, and combined stress echocardiography and cardiopulmonary exercise testing. Left ventricular volumes, ejection fraction, stroke volume, heart rate, E/e' ratio, right ventricular function, oxygen consumption (Vo
RESULTS
A total of 71 patients were assessed 90.6 ± 26 days after the onset of COVID-19 symptoms. Only 23 (33%) were asymptomatic. The most common symptoms were fatigue (34%), muscle weakness or pain (27%), and dyspnea (22%). Vo
CONCLUSIONS
Patients recovering from COVID-19 have symptoms associated with objective reduction in peak Vo
