Atherosclerosis chronic inflammatory disease, endothelial dysfunction accumulation low-density lipoprotein cholesterol vessel intima leading complex cascade involving both innate adaptive immune system.

Increasing long-term observations suggest that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vasculopathy may persist even 1.5 years after the acute phase, potentially accelerating development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. This study systematically reviewed variability brachial flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) from phase COVID-19 through 16 months follow-up (F/U). Databases including PubMed, Web Science, MEDLINE, Embase were screened for a meta-analysis without language or date restrictions (PROSPERO reference CRD42025642888, last search conducted on 1 February 2025). The quality included studies was assessed using Newcastle–Ottawa Quality Scale. We considered all (interventional pre-post studies, prospective observational randomized, non-randomized trials) FMD cfPWV in adults (aged ≥ 18 years) with laboratory-confirmed compared non-COVID-19 controls changes these parameters during F/U. Twenty-one reported differences FMD, examined between patients control groups various stages: acute/subacute (≤30 days onset), early (>30–90 days), mid-term (>90–180 late (>180–270 very (>270 days) post-COVID-19 recovery.

Although the acute phase of COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, emergence post-COVID-19 condition presents a new and complex public health challenge, characterized by persistent, multisystem symptoms that can endure for weeks or months after initial infection with SARS-CoV-2 virus, significantly affecting survivors’ quality life. Among most concerning sequelae are cardiovascular complications, which encompass broad spectrum conditions, including arrhythmias, myocardial damage, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome. This narrative review explores burden on reviewing latest relevant findings in literature highlighting different aspects COVID-19’s involvement. investigates pathophysiological mechanisms underlying involvement condition, focus direct viral invasion via ACE2 receptors, immune-mediated injury, cytokine storm, systemic inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, mitochondrial injury. The interplay between pre-existing diseases, such as hypertension, atherosclerosis, diabetes, atrial fibrillation, is also explored, revealing individuals conditions at heightened risk both severe illness long-term complications. Long-term immune activation persistence antigens increasingly recognized contributors to ongoing even mild asymptomatic infections. As healthcare system continues adapt consequences pandemic, deeper understanding these manifestations essential. knowledge will inform development targeted strategies prevention, clinical management, rehabilitation affected patients. Furthermore, insights gained from intersection be instrumental shaping responses future epidemics, necessity multidisciplinary approaches patient care preparedness.
