COVID-19 Vaccination May Help Improve Reduced Lung Blood Vessel and Airway Sizes in Long COVID Patients

Patients with long COVID display altered pulmonary blood and airway volumes compared to healthy controls.

• Many individuals with long COVID report ongoing respiratory symptoms despite normal lung imaging.
• Quantification of pulmonary blood and airway volumes was conducted to assess differences between long COVID patients and healthy individuals.
• The study also aimed to evaluate how COVID-19 vaccination may relate to these pulmonary imaging parameters.
