Cardiovascular consequences of COVID-19: pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment
https://doi.org/10.51793/OS.2021.24.7.002
Abstract
The paper presents an overview of the scientific literature containing data on the pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular consequences of a new coronavirus infection. Heart damage is observed in 7-28% of hospitalized patients with COVID-19. Myocardial damage when exposed to coronavirus infection can be realized through two pathological mechanisms: direct myocardial damage due to the interaction of SARS-CoV-2 with myocardial ACE2 receptors, as well as indirect myocardial damage, which can be caused by cytokines and other pro-inflammatory factors, microcirculation disorders, hypoxic changes cardiomyocytes. Frequent arrhythmic complications of COVID-19 are atrial fibrillation and ventricular premature beats. Despite numerous publications on heart damage in the acute phase of this disease, data on disorders remaining after recovery are insufficient, there are no clinical recommendations for the management of such patients. Based on the given clinical case, mechanisms of combination therapy of bisoprolol and amlodipine of frequent ventricular extrasystolia, which arose after COVID-19, are described.
