Cardiopulmonary recovery after COVID-19: an observational prospective multicentre trial

Thomas Sonnweber et al.

Summary: A study found that some COVID-19 patients still experienced persistent symptoms and lung function impairment 100 days after the onset of the disease, but there was significant improvement in symptoms and cardiopulmonary status over time.

6-month consequences of COVID-19 in patients discharged from hospital: a cohort study (Publication with Expression of Concern. See vol. 401, pg. 90, 2023)

Chaolin Huang et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the long-term health consequences of discharged COVID-19 patients and associated risk factors, particularly disease severity. Patients with more severe illness during hospitalization showed more severe impaired pulmonary diffusion capacities and abnormal chest imaging manifestations, highlighting the need for targeted interventions for long-term recovery.

Patterns ofmyocardial injury in recovered troponin-positive COVID-19 patients assessed by cardiovascular magnetic resonance

Tushar Kotecha et al.

Summary: Troponin elevation is common in hospitalized COVID-19 patients, and recovered patients can exhibit myocarditis-like injury and ischemic heart disease, with possible ongoing localized inflammation. However, there is no evidence of diffuse fibrosis or edema in the remote myocardium.

Summary: SARS-CoV-2 is responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, causing global healthcare crises. Recovery from COVID-19 may lead to persistent symptoms and long-term complications, prompting the need for multidisciplinary care and follow-up for survivors.

Xiaojun Wu et al.

Summary: Most patients recovering from severe COVID-19 showed improvement in dyspnoea scores and exercise capacity over time, but a subgroup of patients still exhibited persistent physiological and radiographic changes at 12 months post-discharge. A unified pathway for respiratory follow-up is needed for COVID-19 patients.

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 COVID-19 patients discharged from the hospital still experience breathlessness, fatigue, cognitive impairment, and mental health issues. MRI revealed abnormalities in multiple organs, which were linked to inflammation and severity of acute illness.

Patterns of myocardial injury in recovered troponin-positive COVID-19 patients assessed by cardiovascular magnetic resonance

Tushar Kotecha et al.

Summary: Troponin elevation is common in hospitalized COVID-19 patients, indicating potential myocardial injury. Using multi-parametric cardiovascular magnetic resonance, researchers found that recovered COVID-19 patients often exhibit myocarditis-like injury and ischemic damage. Interestingly, some patients showed signs of localized inflammation, while others had ischemic heart disease without prior history.
