Evidence of Pulmonary Hypertension after SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Subjects without Previous Significant Cardiovascular Pathology

Cristina Tudoran et al.

Summary: In COVID-19 infection, the risk associated with cardiovascular complications, PH, and RVD is significantly increased. Inflammatory factors are associated with the severity of pulmonary injury and the extent of PH and RVD.

COVID-19 patients may become predisposed to pulmonary arterial hypertension

Yuichiro J. Suzuki et al.

Summary: The global pandemic of COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 has resulted in over a million deaths worldwide, with potential long-term consequences for recovered individuals such as increased susceptibility to developing fatal conditions like pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Efforts are needed to generate scientific information on the potential long-term health effects on recovered individuals, and to develop therapeutic agents to prevent PAH, a condition that has not yet been successfully treated.

Cardiorespiratory and skeletal muscle damage due to COVID-19: making the urgent case for rehabilitation

Rebeca Nunes Silva et al.

Summary: It is increasingly evident that COVID-19 affects multiple organs and can lead to cardiac and pulmonary injuries. Prolonged hospitalization increases the risk of muscle weakness and decreases functional capacity, highlighting the need for rehabilitation strategies to improve quality of life in post-COVID-19 patients. Rehabilitation health professionals play a vital role in assisting COVID-19 survivors towards recovery and restoring their functional status.

Cardiopulmonary exercise capacity and limitations 3 months after COVID-19 hospitalisation

Ingunn Skjorten et al.

Summary: One-third of participants experienced peak oxygen uptake (V'(O2peak)) <80% predicted 3 months after hospital discharge for COVID-19. Dyspnoeic participants had lower exercise capacity due to obesity and lower ventilatory efficiency. Ventilation and ventilatory efficiency were similar between ICU- and non-ICU-treated participants.

Severe loss of mechanical efficiency in COVID-19 patients

Eulogio Pleguezuelos et al.

Summary: The study identified decreased muscle efficiency in patients with COVID-19, similar to those with COPD and IHD, suggesting resistance training should be considered during early rehabilitation.

Exercise Ventilatory Inefficiency in Post-COVID-19 Syndrome: Insights from a Prospective Evaluation

Alvaro Aparisi et al.

Summary: This study found that over 50% of COVID-19 survivors exhibit symptomatic functional impairment regardless of age or prior hospitalization. The findings suggest the presence of a potential ventilation/perfusion mismatch or hyperventilation syndrome.

Medium-term effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection on multiple vital organs, exercise capacity, cognition, quality of life and mental health, post-hospital discharge

Betty Raman et al.

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.
