To analyze the impact of obesity on cardiopulmonary response to exercise in people with chronic post-COVID-19 syndrome. Consecutive subjects with chronic post-COVID syndrome 6 months after nonsevere acute infection were included. All patients received a complete clinical evaluation, lung function tests and cardiopulmonary exercise testing. A total of 51 consecutive patients diagnosed with chronic post-COVID-19 were enrolled in this study. More than half of patients with chronic post-COVID-19 had a significant alteration in aerobic exercise capacity (VOpeak) 6 months after hospital discharge. Obese long-COVID-19 patients also displayed a marked reduction of oxygen pulse (Opulse). Obese patients were more prone to have pathological pulmonary limitation and pulmonary gas exchange impairment to exercise compared with nonobese COVID-19 patients.
分析肥胖对慢性新冠后综合征患者运动心肺反应的影响。连续纳入急性非重症感染后 6 个月的慢性新冠后综合征患者。所有患者均接受完整的临床评估、肺功能检查和心肺运动试验。本研究共纳入 51 例连续诊断为慢性新冠后综合征的患者。超过一半的慢性新冠后综合征患者在出院后 6 个月时有氧运动能力(VOpeak)显著改变。肥胖的新冠后患者的氧脉冲(Opulse)也明显降低。与非肥胖新冠患者相比,肥胖患者更容易出现运动时病理性肺限制和肺气体交换受损。
