| Abstract | Studies using cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) to evaluate persistent dyspnea following infection with COVID-19 have focused on older patients with co-morbid diseases who are post-hospitalization. Less attention has been given to younger patients with post-COVID-19 dyspnea treated as outpatients for their acute infection. We sought to determine causes of persistent dyspnea in younger patients recovering from acute COVID-19 infection that did not require hospitalization. We collected data on all post-COVID-19 patients who underwent CPET in our clinic in the calendar year 2021. Data on cardiac function and respiratory response were abstracted, and diagnoses were assigned using established criteria. CPET data on 45 patients (238.3 ± 124 days post-test positivity) with a median age of 27.0 (22.0-40.0) were available for analysis. All but two (95.6%) were active-duty service members. The group showed substantial loss of aerobic capacity-average VO |
