The 14 patients who were on home oxygen therapy used stationary oxygen concentrators that deliver O2 in a concentration higher than 90% with a flow 1–2 L/min. Inclusion criteria for patients were defined as moderate-to-severe airflow obstruction on post-bronchodilator spirometry and arterial ...
showed that patients with severe airflow obstruction who were physically active were less prone to more severe impairments of FMD, compared to inactive COPD patients with severe airflow obstruction, suggesting that physical activity may attenuate the progression of vascular dysfunction in COPD40.
