Study conducted among 50 patients showed 56% patients had mild,20% had moderate and24% had severe on dyspnea12score. By 6MWT 28% patients had normal distance covered(>350m),38% patients had mildly reduced distance(250-349m)covered,12%patients had Moderately reduced distance(150-249m)covered and22%patients Had severely reduced( |
