Takotsubo Syndrome During the COVID-19 Pandemic: State-of-the-Art Review
The current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) presents an ongoing medical challenge, as it involves multiple organs, including the cardiovascular system. Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) has been described in the context of COVID-19 in 2 different scenarios: as a direct complication of the infection, and as an indirect outcome secondary to the psychological burden of quarantine and social isolation (ie, stress-induced cardiomyopathy). // 25.5.2021
The novel COVID-19 has had an unprecedented and devastating spread internationally. COVID-19 infection can lead to a number of cardiovascular sequelae, including heart failure, which may portend worse clinical outcomes. //
Cardiac involvement in the long-term implications of COVID-19
Nature Reviews Cardiology - In this Perspectives article, the authors highlight what is known about cardiovascular sequelae in survivors of COVID-19 and discuss important questions that need to be... // 22.10.2021
Evidence for Biological Age Acceleration and Telomere Shortening in COVID-19 Survivors
The SARS-CoV-2 infection determines the COVID-19 syndrome characterized, in the worst cases, by severe respiratory distress, pulmonary and cardiac fibrosis, inflammatory cytokine release, and immunosuppression. // 7.7.2021
“Mask up to keep it up”: Preliminary evidence of the association between erectile dysfunction and COVID‐19
Background Erectile dysfunction (ED), as the hallmark of endothelial dysfunction, could be a short- or long-term complication of COVID-19. Additionally, being ED a clinical marker and predictor... // 20.3.2021
"Koronavarpaiden" syystä saatiin lisää tietoa – vaiva voi iskeä myös rokotuksen jälkeen
Tuoreen tutkimuksen mukaan niin sanotut koronavarpaat ovat seurausta kehon immuunijärjestelmän tiettyjen osien aktivoitumisesta. Ihotautilääkäri Nicolas Kluger kertoo MTV Uutisille, että samankaltainen on joissain tapauksissa iskenyt myös rokotteen ottamisen jälkeen. // 14.10.2021
What is the relationship between COVID-19 and the brain? A new review published in Tropical Biomedicine summarizes the key findings on how severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes severe COVID-19 infection, disrupts brain activity and produces a range of long-term neurological disorders. // 10.10.2021
One-year Risks and Burdens of Incident Cardiovascular Disease in COVID-19: Cardiovascular Manifestations of Long COVID
The cardiovascular complications of acute COVID-19 are well described; however, a comprehensive characterization of the post-acute cardiovascular manifestations of COVID-19 at one year has not been undertaken. // 5.10.2021
Symptoms and Health Outcomes Among Survivors of COVID-19 Infection 1 Year After Discharge From Hospitals in Wuhan, China
45% of surviving patients reported at least 1 post-infection symptom after recovery from hospitalization for COVID-19; the most common symptoms were fatigue, sweating, chest tightness, anxiety, and myalgia. // 29.9.2021
Many With Mild COVID-19 Infections Experience Long-Term Symptoms
Data shows that 67% of people with mild or moderate COVID-19 infection develop long COVID, with symptoms that last more than 30 days after a positive test. // 5.8.2021
Evidence of persisting autoreactivity in post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection?
It has been demonstrated in recent studies that there is a significant breadth of emerging autoreactivity associated with severe severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. More specifically, researchers from Emory University have identified a relaxation of peripheral tolerance within early antibody secretion cells that arise in individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2, as important drivers of those responses. // 28.9.2021
Early research shows even mild COVID-19 impacts brain, but unclear for how long
Findings, not yet peer-reviewed, show people infected with coronavirus had a loss of brain volume even when the disease was not severe enough to require hospitalization // 28.9.2021
Preliminary research finds that even mild cases of COVID-19 leave a mark on the brain – but it's not yet clear how long it lasts
Reduced brain volume in people who have experienced COVID-19 resembles brain changes typically seen in older adults. The implications of these findings are not yet clear. // 24.9.2021
Immediate and long-term consequences of COVID-19 infections for the development of neurological disease
Increasing evidence suggests that infection with Sars-CoV-2 causes neurological deficits in a substantial proportion of affected patients. While these symptoms arise acutely during the course of infection, less is known about the possible long-term consequences for the brain. //4.6.2020
Long-Term Respiratory and Neurological Sequelae of COVID-19
Since the initial reports of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in China in late 2019, infections from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have spread rapidly, resulting in a global pandemic that has caused millions of deaths //21.11.2020
Brain imaging before and after COVID-19 in UK Biobank
There is strong evidence for brain-related pathologies in COVID-19, some of which could be a consequence of viral neurotropism, or of neuroinflammation following viral infection. // 18.8.2021
Long-term neurological manifestations of COVID-19: prevalence and predictive factors
Background Clinical investigations have argued for long-term neurological manifestations in both hospitalized and non-hospitalized COVID-19 patients. It is unclear whether long-term neurological symptoms and features depend on COVID-19 severity. / 14.3.2021
