title: Dataset related to the article "Feasibility of remote home monitoring with a T-shirt wearable device in post-recovery COVID-19 patients"

description: Our study demonstrated that a postdischarge home monitoring program for COVID-19 patients is feasible and well tolerated. The L.I.F.E. T-shirt device was able to collect a full set of cardiorespiratory parameters (i.e. heart rate, a full ECG, respiratory rate, SpO<sub>2</sub>), both at rest and during brief exercise, which are valuable in patients suffering from respiratory diseases. As the medium-term and long-term consequences of COVID-19 infection are still unknown, implementing strategies of postrecovery monitoring are useful to identify patients at risk of clinical deterioration.<sup>7,8</sup> Moreover, it could help to shorten hospital stays, a particularly desirable goal, given the lack of beds typically experienced during a pandemic crisis and, keeping people at home, it could mitigate the in-hospital transmission of COVID-19.<sup>7,8</sup> In addition, despite the lack of a specific questionnaire on satisfaction and acceptance, telephone contact was performed on a daily basis to confirm that the study procedures were well tolerated, with most of the patients reporting feeling reassured by being monitored. Our population, as shown by baseline cardiorespiratory parameters, was at low risk of events. The full potential of this kind of home monitoring will not only be probably experienced in the clinical context of more severe COVID-19 patients but also in other clinical scenarios. Finally, given the small sample size, we were able to identify only one patient without any previous disease who presented post-COVID sleep apnea syndrome. Further studies are certainly needed to assess the prevalence and the clinical impact of this complication in post-COVID-19 patients.

title: Dataset related to the article "Why Levosimendan Improves the Clinical Condition of Patients With Advanced Heart Failure: A Holistic Approach"

description: <strong>Background: </strong>In advanced heart failure (HF), levosimendan increases peak oxygen uptake (VO<sub>2</sub>). We investigated whether peak VO<sub>2</sub> increase is linked to cardiovascular, respiratory, or muscular performance changes. <strong>Methods and results: </strong>Twenty patients hospitalized for advanced HF underwent, before and shortly after levosimendan infusion, 2 different cardiopulmonary exercise tests: (a) a personalized ramp protocol with repeated arterial blood gas analysis and standard spirometry including alveolar-capillary gas diffusion measurements at rest and at peak exercise, and (b) a step incremental workload cardiopulmonary exercise testing with continuous near-infrared spectroscopy analysis and cardiac output assessment by bioelectrical impedance analysis.Levosimendan significantly decreased natriuretic peptides, improved peak VO<sub>2</sub> (11.3 [interquartile range 10.1-12.8] to 12.6 [10.2-14.4] mL/kg/min, P &lt; .01) and decreased minute ventilation to carbon dioxide production relationship slope (47.7 ± 10.7 to 43.4 ± 8.1, P &lt; .01). In parallel, spirometry showed only a minor increase in forced expiratory volume, whereas the peak exercise dead space ventilation was unchanged. However, during exercise, a smaller edema formation was observed after levosimendan infusion, as inferable from the changes in diffusion components, that is, the membrane diffusion and capillary volume. The end-tidal pressure of CO<sub>2</sub> during the isocapnic buffering period increased after levosimendan (from 28 ± 3 mm Hg to 31 ± 2 mm Hg, P &lt; .01). During exercise, cardiac output increased in parallel with VO<sub>2</sub>. After levosimendan, the total and oxygenated tissue hemoglobin, but not deoxygenated hemoglobin, increased in all exercise phases. <strong>Conclusions: </strong>In advanced HF, levosimendan increases peak VO<sub>2</sub>, decreases the formation of exercise-induced lung edema, increases ventilation efficiency owing to a decrease of reflex hyperventilation, and increases cardiac output and muscular oxygen delivery and extraction.
