Incremento del riesgo cardiovascular en pacientes con COVID-19 a corto y largo plazo
Abstract
Although COVID-19 is a predominantly respiratory disease, and respiratory symptoms tend to be the initial clinical presentation, accumulated evidence suggests this clinical entity is closely related to cardiovascular complications. In addition, although cardiovascular complications have been an early observation of the acute presentation of COVID-19, limited data is available regarding the long-term complications in this respect. At present, some studies suggest that the risk for this type of complications may persist after the resolution of the infection, highlighting the need for a greater understanding of the implication of the SARS-CoV-2 infection in the short and long term. The objective of this review is to synthesize current evidence on the short-term and long-term cardiovascular complications of COVID-19.
