The COVID-19 pandemic<\/a> highlighted early the critical importance of understanding the virus’s impact on various organ systems, including the heart. Early research showed that individuals with pre-existing cardiovascular conditions were at a heightened risk of severe illness and mortality from COVID-19<\/a>. However, the long-term effects of COVID-19, particularly in those who were hospitalized, have remained a subject of discussion and debate followed by investigation.<\/p>\n

Insights from early data from the WHF long COVID study is unveiled at the ESC Congress during presentation of the abstract titled “Mortality, Cardiovascular Disease<\/a>, and Long COVID at 3 Months in Individuals Hospitalized with COVID-19: This study, conducted by the World Heart Federation (WHF), aims to determine short-and long-term clinical sequelae among COVID-19 hospitalized patients across 16 low-middle-,upper-middle and high-income countries.<\/p>\n

Early results show that the mortality rate at 3-months post-discharge was 3.3%, considered relatively high compared to studies conducted in other high-income countries. Over a third (37%) presented with at least one persistent long COVID symptoms 3-months post-discharge. A sizeable proportion of patients reported problems in mobility, self-care, usual activities and anxiety post-discharge at 3 months.<\/p>\n

The research presented at the ESC Congress 2023<\/a> underscores the necessity of addressing COVID-19’s long-term impact on cardiovascular health. With a growing number of people experiencing long COVID symptoms, including fatigue, shortness of breath, and chest pain, healthcare providers and researchers must work collaboratively to unravel the intricate relationship between COVID-19, cardiovascular disease, and lingering symptoms.<\/p>\n

As the medical community grapples with the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, studies like the one conducted by the WHF are instrumental in shaping clinical guidelines, improving patient care, and informing public health policies. Study follow-up will continue for 9-12 months after hospitalization and will foster a deeper understanding of the multifaceted challenges posed by COVID-19 and its far-reaching impact on global health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
