It was found that SARS survivors had persistent functional disability one year after discharge from the ICU due to impaired muscle function.\u00a0<\/p><p>Subsequently in 2011, another group of researchers investigated a sub-set of SARS survivors who developed musculoskeletal pain, weakness, fatigability and shortness of breath and found sleep abnormalities similar to ME patients.\u00a0<\/p><p>These changes are already frequently observed in survivors of the current COVID-19 pandemic, which is an infection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. These patients have anecdotally been known as \u201clonghaulers,\u201d yet as of February 2021, they are now known as having \u201cPost Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2\u201d or PASC.<\/p><p>Recently, it was noted that in a cohort of 234 Covid-19 survivors, ~30% experienced persistent symptoms including fatigue (most common) and cognitive dysfunction in the form of \u201cbrain fog.\u201d Some patients still experienced these symptoms 9 months after infection. In Canada and the United States, there have been over 30 million cases of Covid-19, and if previous observations hold true (i.e. 30% of survivors develop ME) over 9 million people in Canada and the United States alone could already be developing ME from their SARS-CoV-2 infection.<\/p><p>In these populations, exercise has been shown to be a beneficial treatment avenue. Due to fatigue, however, it is very difficult to perform and to maintain adherence to a program. Therefore, we are suggesting that inspiratory muscle training (IMT) can be implemented as it is easily accessible commercially and it is relatively easy to conduct, even in a supine posture.<\/p><p>Patients with current Covid-19 infection or PASC are known to experience hyperventilation and IMT training has been shown to reduce hyperventilation in chronic conditions such as heart failure. This reduction of hyperventilation will increase arterial levels of carbon dioxide back to normal levels which will increase brain blood flow and increase brain function and cognition.<\/p><p>We hypothesize that PASC patients will have developed ME symptoms and will display vascular and pulmonary dysfunction. We further hypothesize that eight weeks of IMT will improve both vascular and pulmonary function in PASC and ME.\u00a0<\/p><p>In patients with PASC or ME and a group of healthy controls, we will measure autonomic symptoms, ME symptoms, vascular function, cardiovascular response to upright tilt, pulmonary function, cognitive function and the breathing and brain blood flow responses to low oxygen and low carbon dioxide. These measurements will be conducted before and after an eight-week IMT training protocol to observe improvements.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
