- ÍtemAcceso AbiertoPrincipales complicaciones cardiacas en pacientes con Síndrome Post COVID-19(Universidad Católica de Cuenca., 2023) Quiridunbay Pasato, Lisseth Tatiana; Flores Montesinos, Carlos Enrique; 0104748264Background: cardiac complications due to SARS-CoV-2 virus have caused great affections in the adult population. Post infection complications include pulmonary and extrapulmonary complications, also known as “Post COVID-19 Syndrome”; these patients are approached by complementary examinations since they present a non-specific clinical picture. Aim: to determine the main cardiac complications in patients post COVID-19 infection. Methods: a bibliographic search of articles published in the Pubmed database was performed. Results: acute cardiac injury was one of the most prevalent; other notable symptoms were arrhythmias, heart failure and, to a lesser extent, disseminated intravascular coagulation. Patients who develop shock after coronavirus infection are the result of myocardial injury in addition to other risk factors such as a history of elevated cardiac biomarkers and stay in intensive care units due to the viral disease. Another clinical manifestation with high prevalence in these patients is dyspnea, a symptom that is closely related to an intolerance to physical exertion and fatigue evidenced in periods of time less than 12 months after infection. Conclusions: cardiac complications were arrhythmias, acute coronary syndrome, heart failure, shock and disseminated intravascular coagulation; manifesting mainly with fever and dyspnea, also the most vulnerable patients were those with different comorbidities.
