Participant Flow

Participants recruited from a specialty clinic in Lebanon, NH, between August 1, 2008 to May 1, 2009.

27 particpants recruited; 27 particpants screened; 5 excluded because they did not meet inclusion criteria; 2 patients withdrew consent after visit 1.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: After one dose

linear regression slope of breathlessness - time for arformoterol and for normal saline will be compared between treadmill and cycle exercise The higher the number the worse the shortness of breath
