Physiology of Long COVID-19 and the Impact of Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation on Quality-of-Life and Functional Capacity

Description

The primary objectives of this study are to establish exercise training as a novel intervention to treat Long COVID and characterize the cardiorespiratory and autonomic physiology in these patients to precisely characterize mechanisms contributing to this syndrome.

Conditions

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • * Adults ≥18 years with documented history of COVID-19 infection and symptoms consistent with Long COVID lasting \>4 weeks after diagnosis.
  • * History of cardiovascular/pulmonary disease prior to infection
  • * COVID-related myocardial injury such as evidence of myocarditis
  • * Deep vein thrombosis/pulmonary embolism following COVID-19 infection
  • * Exercise intolerance resulting from conditions that are not related to cardiorespiratory or autonomic factors (e.g. osteoarthritis or other musculoskeletal diseases);
  • * Dependency of supplemental oxygen following COVID infection due to cardiovascular and/or pulmonary complications following acute COVID infection
