Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), which is the gold standard for the evaluation of exercise capacity, is included in the list of examinations of the European Respiratory Society/American Thoracic Society task force for the follow-up of COVID-19 patients [2]. However, it is not performed in every clinical centre, as it requires specific technical skills. The objective of this observational, prospective study was to evaluate the sequelae of COVID-19 by assessing exercise performance during incremental CPET.CPET reveals only a mild impairment of exercise capacity, with preserved ventilatory and gas exchange response at 3 months follow-up in COVID-19 survivors, due to deconditioning https://bit.ly/3sI8e0YThe authors wish to acknowledge Silvia Terraneo, Fausta Alfano, Andrea Baccelli, Matteo Davì, Sabrina De Pascalis, Alessandra Masseroni, Stefano Pavesi and Silvia Ruggeri for their help in patient recruitment and data collection, and their work in the post-COVID-19 outpatient service. Authors also wish to thank our outstanding CPET Laboratory nurses Giulia Merli, Claudia Migliaccio and Caterina Spagnuolo. ER -
