Why the study?

Cardiovascular disease is both a risk factor for and potential result of COVID-19, prompting investigation into post-infection cardiovascular symptoms and associated factors.

Population

452 recovered patients with novel coronavirus infection admitted to a cardiovascular department

Comparison

226 patients with cardiovascular symptoms vs 226 without

Design

Single-center observational study

Discussion

Implication

May warrant CV symptom monitoring in post-COVID patients; leaves open causal mechanisms and management strategies.

Structured PICO

Population

452 recovered patients with novel coronavirus infection (over 18 years old, negative COVID-19 test after infection), including 226 with cardiovascular symptoms (chest pain and palpitations) and 226 without, admitted to a single center in China.

Outcome

Incidence and nature of cardiovascular sequelae following SARS-CoV-2 infection (new or continuing symptoms persisting for more than 12 weeks)patient reported

Post-COVID-19 cardiovascular symptoms are prevalent and significantly associated with female sex, younger age, hypertension, prior heart disease, and diabetes.

Limitations

Single-center study
Small sample size leading to potential statistical bias
Symptoms are subjective and easily affected by subjective bias
Lacks assessment of patients' symptoms before and during the COVID-19 infection
Lacked quantitative and specific indicators (e.g., relevant scales for objective analysis)
