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. Further studies needed understand mechanisms, identify specific guide future preventive treatments address sequelae.

Abstract The post-acute sequelae of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection—also referred to as Long COVID—have been described, but whether breakthrough SARS-CoV-2 infection (BTI) in vaccinated people results is not clear. In this study, we used the US Department Veterans Affairs national healthcare databases build a cohort 33,940 individuals with BTI and several controls without evidence infection, including contemporary ( n = 4,983,491), historical 5,785,273) 2,566,369) controls.

Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease of the large arteries that major cause cardiovascular (CVD) and stroke. Here, we review current understanding molecular, cellular, genetic, environmental contributions to atherosclerosis, from both individual pathway systems perspectives. We place emphasis on recent developments, some which have yielded unexpected biology, including previously unknown heterogeneity smooth muscle cells in atherosclerotic lesions, roles for senescence clonal hematopoiesis, links gut microbiome.

Abstract Post-acute infection syndromes may develop after acute viral disease 1 . Infection with SARS-CoV-2 can result in the development of a post-acute syndrome known as long COVID.

Here 275 individuals or without were enrolled cross-sectional study included multidimensional immune phenotyping unbiased machine learning methods to identify features Marked differences noted circulating myeloid lymphocyte populations relative matched controls, well evidence exaggerated humoral responses directed against among participants Furthermore, higher antibody non-SARS-CoV-2 pathogens observed COVID, particularly Epstein–Barr virus.
