Am. Inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) Multifocal atrial tachycardia (MAT) Junctional ectopic tachycardia (JET) Nonparoxysmal junctional tachycardia (NPJT) Symptoms The main symptom of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is a very fast heartbeat (100 beats a minute or more) that may last for a few minutes to a few days. The most affected domains were mobility (mean score 3.6), usual activities (mean score 3.5), and pain/discomfort (mean score 3). The majority of abnormalities observed by computed tomography were ground-glass opacities. So far, there is no evidence that COVID-19-associated diabetes can be reversed after the acute phase, nor that its outcomes differ in COVID-19 long haulers. Faecalibacterium prausnitzii and human intestinal health.

Association of cardiac infection with SARS-CoV-2 in confirmed COVID-19 autopsy cases. Poincar plot of 24-hour ECG monitoring showing the beat-to-beat variability from an uninfected subject and histogram of the frequencydomain parameters. Considering this, it seems reasonable that the mechanisms leading to IST after SARS-CoV-2 infection are mixed, with injury of the ANS, which constantly regulates heart rate and vascular tone, playing an important role.

Interestingly, IST patients had a lower incidence of anosmia (48% vs. 79%; p=0.03). The authors observed that cardiovascular outcomes did not correlate with the occurrence of hypoxemia, admission to the intensive care unit, or analytical abnormalities9.

Nat. Direct oral anticoagulants and low-molecular-weight heparin are preferred anticoagulation agents over vitamin K antagonists due to the lack of need to frequently monitor therapeutic levels, as well as the lower risk of drugdrug interactions108,109. MIS-C, also referred to as pediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome temporally associated with SARS-CoV-2 (PIMS-TS), is defined by the presence of the following symptoms in people <21years old (or 19years old per the World Health Organization definition): fever; elevated inflammatory markers; multiple organ dysfunction; current or recent SARS-CoV-2 infection; and exclusion of other plausible diagnoses203,204. Tachycardia is the medical term for a fast heart rate. Eur. 140, 16 (2020).

This is another serious side effect that is being increasingly recognized. 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. These studies provide early evidence to aid the identification of people at high risk for post-acute COVID-19. In the post-acute COVID-19 Chinese study, the median 6-min walking distance was lower than normal reference values in approximately one-quarter of patients at 6months5a prevalence similar to that in SARS and MERS survivors9. Results of the 24-h ECG monitoring are summarized in Table 3 and Fig. Eur. Accordingly, the loss of HRV is suggestive of a cardiac ANS imbalance with decreased parasympathetic activity and compensatory sympathetic activation. Dis. Thromb.

Elevated d-dimer levels (greater than twice the upper limit of normal), in addition to comorbidities such as cancer and immobility, may help to risk stratify patients at the highest risk of post-acute thrombosis; however, individual patient-level considerations for risk versus benefit should dictate recommendations at this time86,108,109,110. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-03831-6, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-021-03831-6.

Serial clinical and imaging evaluation with electrocardiogram and echocardiogram at 412weeks may be considered in those with cardiovascular complications during acute infection, or persistent cardiac symptoms76,123.
