Why the study?
There is a bidirectional relation between cardiovascular disease and COVID-19, with infection appearing to exponentiate the risk of acute and long-term cardiac events.
What is the acute and long-term impact of COVID-19 infection on arterial hypertension, heart failure, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, and atrial fibrillation?
What is the acute and long-term impact of COVID-19 infection on arterial hypertension, heart failure, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, and atrial fibrillation?
COVID-19 infection has a bidirectional relationship with cardiovascular disease, increasing the risk of acute and long-term cardiac events across multiple conditions.
COVID-19 infection is associated with significant complications affecting multiple organs other than the respiratory system. In fact, there seems to be a bidirectional relation between cardiovascular disease and viral infection, as patients with prior cardiac comorbidities are at a higher risk of adverse events during infection, and COVID-19 infection seems to exponentiate the risk of acute and long-term cardiac events. In this review, the authors will discuss the acute and long-term impact of COVID-19 infection in arterial hypertension, heart failure, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, and atrial fibrillation.
