The severity of illness during acute COVID-19 (measured, for example, by admission to an intensive care unit (ICU) and/or requirement for non-invasive and/or invasive mechanical ventilation) has been significantly associated with the presence or persistence of symptoms (such as dyspnea, fatigue/muscular weakness and PTSD), reduction in health-related quality of life scores, pulmonary function abnormalities and radiographic abnormalities in the post-acute COVID-19 setting5,22,24.

Consecutive patients admitted to the PCS Unit between June and December 2020 with a resting sinus rhythm rate 100bpm were prospectively enrolled in this study and further examined by an orthostatic test, 2D echocardiography, 24-h ECG monitoring (heart rate variability was a surrogate for cardiac autonomic activity), quality-of-life and exercise capacity testing, and blood sampling. Goldberger, J. J. et al. D.W.L. We found that IST is prevalent among PCS patients (affecting 20% in our series), and this disorder was more common in young women without previous comorbidities and with mild SARS-CoV-2 infection. 40, 3139 (2019). In addition to this 12-week assessment, an earlier clinical assessment for respiratory, psychiatric and thromboembolic sequelae, as well as rehabilitation needs, is also recommended at 46weeks after discharge for those with severe acute COVID-19, defined as those who had severe pneumonia, required ICU care, are elderly or have multiple comorbidities. Rev. Contributors AL reviewed the patient in the first instance and identified the patient as having symptoms consistent with a post-COVID phenomenon.

Briefly, the HF and PNN50 are regarded as specific indicators of the parasympathetic influence on the heart rate, whereas the LF and VLF components have a complex physiology that integrates both the sympathetic and parasympathetic components9. Res. A spectrum of pulmonary manifestations, ranging from dyspnea (with or without chronic oxygen dependence) to difficult ventilator weaning and fibrotic lung damage, has been reported among COVID-19 survivors. The mechanisms of IST, with or without previous viral infection, are poorly understood and investigated, but many of the postulated mechanisms include alterations in the nervous system: sympathovagal imbalance, beta-adrenergic receptor hypersensitivity, and brain stem dysregulation, among others. 20, 533534 (2020).

This may explain the disproportionately high rates (2030%) of thrombotic rather than bleeding complications in acute COVID-19 (ref. 16,17), as replication-competent SARS-CoV-2 has not been isolated after 3weeks18. Dyspnea, decreased exercise capacity and hypoxia are commonly persistent symptoms and signs, Reduced diffusion capacity, restrictive pulmonary physiology, and ground-glass opacities and fibrotic changes on imaging have been noted at follow-up of COVID-19 survivors, Assessment of progression or recovery of pulmonary disease and function may include home pulse oximetry, 6MWTs, PFTs, high-resolution computed tomography of the chest and computed tomography pulmonary angiogram as clinically appropriate, Thromboembolic events have been noted to be <5% in post-acute COVID-19 in retrospective studies, The duration of the hyperinflammatory state induced by infection with SARS-CoV-2 is unknown, Direct oral anticoagulants and low-molecular-weight heparin may be considered for extended thromboprophylaxis after riskbenefit discussion in patients with predisposing risk factors for immobility, persistently elevated d-dimer levels (greater than twice the upper limit of normal) and other high-risk comorbidities such as cancer, Persistent symptoms may include palpitations, dyspnea and chest pain, Long-term sequelae may include increased cardiometabolic demand, myocardial fibrosis or scarring (detectable via cardiac MRI), arrhythmias, tachycardia and autonomic dysfunction, Patients with cardiovascular complications during acute infection or those experiencing persistent cardiac symptoms may be monitored with serial clinical, echocardiogram and electrocardiogram follow-up, Persistent abnormalities may include fatigue, myalgia, headache, dysautonomia and cognitive impairment (brain fog), Anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances and PTSD have been reported in 3040% of COVID-19 survivors, similar to survivors of other pathogenic coronaviruses, The pathophysiology of neuropsychiatric complications is mechanistically diverse and entails immune dysregulation, inflammation, microvascular thrombosis, iatrogenic effects of medications and psychosocial impacts of infection, Resolution of AKI during acute COVID-19 occurs in the majority of patients; however, reduced eGFR has been reported at 6months follow-up, COVAN may be the predominant pattern of renal injury in individuals of African descent, COVID-19 survivors with persistent impaired renal function may benefit from early and close follow-up in AKI survivor clinics, Endocrine sequelae may include new or worsening control of existing diabetes mellitus, subacute thyroiditis and bone demineralization, Patients with newly diagnosed diabetes in the absence of traditional risk factors for type 2 diabetes, suspected hypothalamicpituitaryadrenal axis suppression or hyperthyroidism should undergo the appropriate laboratory testing and should be referred to endocrinology, Prolonged viral fecal shedding can occur in COVID-19 even after negative nasopharyngeal swab testing, COVID-19 has the potential to alter the gut microbiome, including enrichment of opportunistic organisms and depletion of beneficial commensals, Hair loss is the predominant symptom and has been reported in approximately 20% of COVID-19 survivors, Diagnostic criteria: <21years old with fever, elevated inflammatory markers, multiple organ dysfunction, current or recent SARS-CoV-2 infection and exclusion of other plausible diagnoses, Typically affects children >7years and disproportionately of African, Afro-Caribbean or Hispanic origin, Cardiovascular (coronary artery aneurysm) and neurologic (headache, encephalopathy, stroke and seizure) complications can occur.
