Why the study?
Post-covid syndrome commonly causes increased blood pressure and heart rate, particularly affecting patients with cardiovascular comorbidities, while current drug regimens remain symptomatic.
Does a fixed combination of bisoprolol and amlodipine improve symptoms in patients with post-covid syndrome accompanied by increased blood pressure and heart rate?
Does a fixed combination of bisoprolol and amlodipine improve symptoms in patients with post-covid syndrome accompanied by increased blood pressure and heart rate?
This review highlights the potential of a fixed combination of bisoprolol and amlodipine for managing elevated blood pressure and heart rate in patients with post-covid syndrome.
May support BP/HR management in post-COVID syndrome; hypothesis-generating and requires RCTs before practice change.
The new coronavirus infection COVID-19 from the moment of the first message to the present has spread rapidly in more than two hundred countries around the world, posing a serious threat to the life and health of the population. Most patients who have recovered from COVID-19 continue to complain of shortness of breath, increased fatigue, chest pain, palpitations and other symptoms. Currently, the presence of symptoms 12 weeks after the acute phase of the new coronavirus infection COVID-19 is collectively referred to as post-covid syndrome. Studies have shown that this syndrome occurs frequently in recovered patients with COVID-19, regardless of their age and severity of the disease. This feature significantly distinguishes post-covid syndrome from other syndromes after an infection, and therefore the study of the mechanisms of its development, methods of diagnosis and treatment is an important public health problem. Particular attention is paid to patients with comorbidities, especially those with hypertension and cardiovascular diseases, since they have a more severe outcome after infection and higher case mortality rate. The current drug regimens for patients with post-covid syndrome and concomitant diseases are symptomatic. The most common manifestations of post-covid syndrome from the cardiovascular system are an increase in blood pressure and heart rate. In this regard, this review discusses the prospects for the use of a fixed combination of bisoprolol and amlodipine in the treatment of patients with post-covid syndrome, accompanied by an increase in blood pressure and heart rate.
