Potential Diaphragm Muscle Weakness-related Dyspnea Persists Two Years after COVID-19 and Could Be Improved by Inspiratory Muscle Training: Results of an Observational and an Interventional Trial.
Diaphragm muscle weakness might underly persistent exertional dyspnea despite normal lung/cardiac function in individuals previously hospitalized for acute COVID-19 illness. ⋯ This study is the first to identify a potential treatment for persisting exertional dyspnea in long COVID, and provide a possible pathophysiological explanation for the treatment benefit.
