Cardiovascular Disease and COVID-19 - General Summary
- This paper provides a rough summary of the possible induced injuries caused by the comorbidity of cardiovascular disease and COVID-19
- The paper also details some cardiovascular manifestations of COVID-19 by providing some examples of lasting various cardiovascular conditions that can be brought on by the virus itself
- Some direct injuries caused by the comorbidity include direct myocardial injury, systemic inflammation, altered myocardial demand-supply ratio, plaque rupture and coronary thrombosis, adverse effects to various therapies, and electrolyte imbalances
- The paper also describes that patients with preexisting cardiovascular disease have increased risk of for COVID-19 infection as well as worse overall outcomes compared to non-impaired patients
- The paper also describes how the heightened poorer outcomes may also be due to the fact that many cardiovascular disease comorbid patients are also likely to be comorbid with other illnesses such as diabetes or hypertension which also lead to poorer COVID-19 outcomes
- The cardiovascular manifestations described by the paper include acute myocardial injury, arrhythmias, as well as a short discussion on long term abnormal lipid metabolisms
