Abstract Long COVID has become a world-wide, non-communicable epidemic, caused by long-lasting multiorgan symptoms that endure for weeks or months after SARS-CoV-2 infection already subsided. This scientific document aims to provide insight into the possible causes and therapeutic options available cardiovascular manifestations of long COVID. In addition chronic fatigue, which is common symptom COVID, patients may present with chest pain, ECG abnormalities, postural orthostatic tachycardia, newly developed supraventricular ventricular arrhythmias. Imaging heart vessels provided evidence chronic, post-infectious perimyocarditis consequent left right failure, arterial wall inflammation, microthrombosis in certain patient populations. Better understanding underlying cellular molecular mechanisms will aid development effective treatment strategies its manifestations. A number have been proposed, including those involving direct effects on myocardium, microthrombotic damage endothelium, persistent inflammation. Unfortunately, existing circulating biomarkers, coagulation, inflammatory markers, are not highly predictive either presence outcome when measured 3 infection.

Infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is responsible for the disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic that has resulted in millions of deaths and a major strain on health systems worldwide. Medical treatments COVID-19 (anticoagulants, corticosteroids, anti-inflammatory drugs, oxygenation therapy ventilation) vaccination have improved patient outcomes. The majority patients will recover spontaneously or after acute-phase management, but clinicians are now faced long-term complications including large variety symptoms, defined as “post-acute syndrome”. Most studies focused hospitalised COVID-19, not restricted to these exists outpatients. Given diversity symptoms high prevalence persistent management requires multidisciplinary team approach, which result consumption amounts resources coming months.

Importance

Determining the long-term impact of COVID-19 on cognition is important to inform immediate steps in research and health policy.

Objective

To investigate 1-year trajectory cognitive changes older survivors.

Design, Setting, Participants

This cohort study recruited 3233 survivors 60 years who were discharged from 3 COVID-19–designated hospitals Wuhan, China, February 10 April 10, 2020. Their uninfected spouses (N = 466) as a control population. Participants with preinfection impairment, concomitant neurological disorder, or family history dementia excluded, well those severe cardiac, hepatic, kidney disease any kind tumor. Follow-up monitoring functioning decline took place at 6 12 months. A total 1438 438 individuals included final follow-up. was categorized nonsevere following American Thoracic Society guidelines.

Main Outcomes Measures

The main outcome change 1 year after patient discharge. Cognitive during first second 6-month follow-up periods assessed using Informant Questionnaire Decline Elderly Telephone Interview Status-40, respectively. Based observed 2 periods, trajectories classified into 4 categories: stable cognition, early-onset decline, late-onset progressive decline.

Results

Among 1317 screened, participants treated for (691 male [48.05%] 747 female [51.95%]; median [IQR] age, 69 [66-74] years) (222 [50.68%] 216 [49.32%]; 67 completed 12-month incidence impairment months discharge 12.45%. Individuals cases had lower Status-40 scores than (median [IQR]: severe, 22.50 [16.00-28.00]; nonsevere, 30.00 [26.00-33.00]; control, 31.00 [26.00-33.00]). Severe higher (odds ratio [OR], 4.87; 95% CI, 3.30-7.20), (OR, 7.58; 3.58-16.03), 19.00; 9.14-39.51), while 1.71; 1.30-2.27) when adjusting sex, education level, body mass index, comorbidities.

Long COVID is characterized by the emergence of multiple debilitating symptoms following SARS-CoV-2 infection. Its etiology unclear and it often follows a mild acute illness. Anecdotal reports gradual clinical responses to histamine receptor antagonists (HRAs) suggest histamine-dependent mechanism that distinct from anaphylaxis, possibly mediated T cells, which are also regulated histamine. cell perturbations have been previously reported in post-viral syndromes, but landscape patients who recovered COVID-19 its relationship both long any symptomatic response HRA remain underexplored. We addressed these questions an observational study 65 individuals had COVID-19. Participants were surveyed between 87 408 days after onset symptoms; none required hospitalization, 16 uneventfully, 49 developed COVID. Symptoms quantified using structured questionnaire subsets enumerated standard diagnostic assay. Patients with long-COVID reduced CD4+ CD8+ effector memory (EM) numbers increased PD-1 (programmed death protein 1) expression on central (CM) whereas asymptomatic participants EM cells only CD28 CM cells. 72% received improvement, although profiling did not clearly distinguish those responded HRA. This demonstrates persist for several months associated symptoms.

This study evaluated the impact these factors on patients with clinical presentations in a Brazilian cohort. A total 317 diagnosed were included; cases distributed according status as severe (n=91), moderate (n=56) mild (n=170). Of patients, 92 had acute at sample collection, 90 already recovered from without sequelae, 135 sequelae (long COVID syndrome).
