RESUMEN
RESUMEN

Introducción:

La infección por COVID-19 se asocia a compromiso cardiovascular en su etapa aguda. La información sobre el compromiso cardíaco en la etapa de convalecencia de la enfermedad tanto en pacientes con y sin síntomas persistentes es limitada.

Objetivos:

1. Analizar el compromiso cardíaco mediante ecocardiograma en la etapa de convalecencia de la enfermedad por COVID-19; 2. Explorar su asociación con a) gravedad del cuadro agudo y b) persistencia de síntomas.

Métodos:

Estudio analítico, observacional, prospectivo y unicéntrico. Se incluyeron pacientes consecutivos que consultaron al centro para realizar evaluación post-COVID. Se realizó ecocardiograma Doppler color transtorácico en busca de hallazgos patológicos.

Resultados:

Se incluyeron 600 pacientes desde el 01/09/2020 al 01/05/2021. Veintinueve (4,8%) presentaron hallazgos patológicos en el ecocardiograma. Los pacientes con cuadros iniciales moderados o graves presentaron mayor prevalencia de trastornos de motilidad parietal (4,3% versus 0,5%, p = 0,02) y derrame pericárdico (4,3% versus 0,24%, p = 0,01) en comparación con aquellos con cuadros asintomáticos o leves. En el ajuste multivariado esta asociación no alcanzó significación estadística. El 28,6% de los pacientes referían síntomas persistentes, no observándose una asociación entre la presencia de los mismos y los hallazgos ecocardiográficos patológicos.

Conclusión:

La prevalencia de compromiso cardíaco evaluado mediante ecocardiograma en la etapa de convalecencia de la enfermedad por COVID-19 fue de 4,8%. Los pacientes con cuadros iniciales más graves presentaron más hallazgos patológicos. La significancia no se sostuvo en el análisis multivariado. Los síntomas persistentes no se asociaron a mayor compromiso cardíaco.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT

Background:

The acute phase of COVID-19 infection is associated with cardiovascular involvement, but there is limited information regarding this relationship in the recovery phase from this disease both in patients with or without persistent symptoms.

Objectives:

The aims of this study were 1. To analyze cardiovascular involvement by echocardiography in the recovery phase from COVID-19 disease, and 2. To explore its association with a) the severity of the acute phase and b) the presence of persistent symptoms.

Methods:

An analytical, observational, prospective and single-center study was carried out, including consecutive patients attending the center for post-COVID-19 evaluation who underwent a transthoracic color Doppler echocardiogram looking for pathological outcomes.

Results:

A total of 600 patients were included from September 1, 2020 to May 1, 2021, and 29 of these patients (4.8%) presented pathological findings in the echocardiogram. Patients with moderate or severe acute phase COVID-19 infection had a higher prevalence of wall motion disorders (4.3% vs. 0.5%, p=0.02) and pericardial effusion (4.3% vs. 0.24%, p=0.01) compared with those with asymptomatic or mild symptoms; however, after multivariate adjustment, this association did not reach statistical significance. In 28.6% of cases, patients reported persistent symptoms, with no evident association between their presence and pathological echocardiographic results.

Conclusion:

The prevalence of cardiovascular involvement evaluated by echocardiography was 4.8% in the recovery phase from COVID-19 disease. Patients with more severe initial clinical presentation exhibited more pathological findings, but the significance was not sustained in the multivariate analysis. Persistent symptoms were not associated with greater cardiovascular involvement.
