Is the presence of paresthesias associated with cardiac dysautonomia in patients with post-COVID-19 syndrome?
Is the presence of paresthesias associated with cardiac dysautonomia in patients with post-COVID-19 syndrome?
In patients with post-COVID-19 syndrome, paresthesias are associated with altered cardiac vagal activity, suggesting a potential link between peripheral sensory and autonomic nerve fiber damage.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Paresthesias may signal subtle vagal alterations in post-COVID syndrome; hypothesis-generating for peripheral-autonomic links, needs prospective confirmation.
In the autonomic function tests, no signs of dysautonomia were found in patients with post-COVID-19 syndrome. The presence of paresthesias is associated with differences in cardiac vagal activity, which may suggest that damage to peripheral sensory nerve fibers could be associated with an affectation to autonomic fibres.
