Potential Role of Autonomic Dysfunction in Covid-19 Morbidity and Mortality

Key Result

Autonomic dysfunction, characterized by heightened sympathetic activity and parasympathetic withdrawal in patients with cardio-metabolic comorbidities, is hypothesized to exacerbate Covid-19 morbidity and mortality.

PICO

Population

Covid-19

Exposure / Comparator

Autonomic dysfunction

Limitations

Clinical data is still scarce in this area due to the short time frame from the start of the pandemic.
The proposed mechanisms are theoretical and require strong experimental evidence to prove.
