Correlations between morphologic markers of the angiogenic process and clinical and functional parameters of COPD patients and SHS. Positive significant correlations between the proportion of capillary profiles associated with Pc/EC interdigitations in post-training vastus lateralis biopsies and a forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) (% predic.), b post-training values of symptom-limited oxygen uptake (\( \mathrm{V}\dot {\mathrm{O}}_{2\mathrm{sl}} \)), in both COPD patients (grey circles) and SHS (white circles)
