Exercise-Induced Oxygen Desaturation Increases Arterial Stiffness in Patients with COPD During the 6WMT.

The CAVI of patients with mild-EID before and after exercise showed a decreasing trend, but the values were not significantly different (CAVI be: 8.87 ± 1.26, CAVI af: 8.36 ± 1.23; p = 0.099) ( Figure 2B ). ΔCAVI in the non-EID, mild-EID, and severe-EID groups was −0.53 (−0.95 to −0.31), −0.20 (−1.45 to 0.50), 0.6 (0.08 to 0.73), respectively ( Figure 2B ).
