Objective Hemodynamic Cardiovascular Autonomic Abnormalities in Post-Acute Sequelae of COVID-19

Rashmin Hira et al.

Summary: The study found that COVID-19 patients with post-acute sequalae have cardiovascular autonomic abnormalities, mainly postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and initial orthostatic hypotension. The frequency of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome is higher in female patients, while the frequency of initial orthostatic hypotension is equal between male and female patients. Even nonhospitalized patients may experience long-term cardiovascular autonomic abnormalities.

Does COVID-19 Cause Hypertension?

Mahmut Akpek

Summary: The study revealed that COVID-19 patients experienced significant increases in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure during short-term follow-up, potentially leading to new onset hypertension.

Understanding the role of nACE2 in neurogenic hypertension among COVID-19 patients

Prakash G. Kulkarni et al.

Summary: The third and fourth waves of the COVID-19 pandemic are causing chaos globally, despite vaccination programs. Comorbidities increase the severity of COVID-19, leading to higher mortality rates. ACE2 in host cells mediates SARS-CoV-2 infection, triggering inflammatory responses and mortality risks.

Prospective Evaluation of Autonomic Dysfunction in Post-Acute Sequela of COVID-19

Sameer M. Jamal et al.

Summary: This study performed head-up tilt table (HUTT) testing in symptomatic patients with post-acute sequela of COVID-19 (PASC), revealing orthostatic intolerance suggestive of autonomic dysfunction in nearly all subjects. Patients with provoked orthostatic intolerance (POI) showed earlier improvement of symptoms compared to those with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS).

Orthostatic Intolerance in Adults Reporting Long COVID Symptoms Was Not Associated With Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome

Ann Monaghan et al.

Summary: In this observational cross-sectional study, predictors of orthostatic intolerance (OI) in adults with long COVID symptoms were investigated. OI was found to be associated with female sex, fatigue, depressive symptoms, inability to perform daily activities, and higher heart rate at the lowest systolic blood pressure point. However, initial orthostatic hypotension and classical orthostatic hypotension were not correlated with OI.

Detection of Preclinical Orthostatic Disorders in Young African and European Adults Using the Head-Up Tilt Test with a Standardized Hydrostatic Column Height: A Pilot Study

Victor N. Dorogovtsev et al.

Summary: This study aimed to detect asymptomatic orthostatic circulatory disorders and their racial differences using a new HUTT protocol. The results showed that the HUTT protocol can detect preclinical orthostatic hypertension, which precedes AH, in young adults, contributing to the effectiveness of primary prevention.

Transient Orthostatic Hypertension During Head-Up Tilt Test in Young Adults: A Phenotype of Blood Pressure Variability

Alvaro Petersen et al.

Summary: This study found that transient orthostatic hypertension can occur during head-up tilt test, with these patients exhibiting a decrease in cardiac output and a hyperadrenergic response to tilt.

Association of cardiac injury with hypertension in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 in China

Xiaofang Zeng et al.

Summary: The study found that hypertensive patients with COVID-19 are more likely to experience cardiac injury and severe disease phenotypes, including longer hospitalization time, higher rates of bilateral pneumonia, and electrolyte disorders. Cardiac injury markers such as creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase were also significantly increased in these patients.

Hypertension as a sequela in patients of SARS-CoV-2 infection

Ganxiao Chen et al.

Summary: COVID-19 patients may experience cardiac injury and develop hypertension, with elevated levels of certain markers. Enhanced Ang II signaling from SARS-CoV-2 infection may contribute to the development of hypertension.

COVID-19 and Hypertension: The What, the Why, and the How

Shah-Abas Muhamad et al.

Summary: Observational studies globally have shown that most COVID-19 patients have preexisting hypertension, raising questions about the potential relationship between COVID-19 and hypertension. This review summarizes the current understanding of the link between hypertension and COVID-19, as well as its underlying mechanisms.

COVID-19 Dysautonomia

Brent P. Goodman et al.

Summary: This study reported a case series of dysautonomia associated with COVID-19 infection in 6 patients. While all patients presented typical symptoms like fatigue and activity intolerance, autonomic testing results varied, with postural tachycardia, orthostatic hypotension, and postural hypertension observed in different patients.

Summary: The study found that fatigue was the most common symptom among COVID-19 recovered adults, with those aged 40 to 50 years being more likely to experience fatigue. Only 13% of patients met the criteria for ME/CFS.
