STUDY OF CLINICAL OUTCOME AND CARDIOVASCULAR SEQUELAE IN COVID-19 PATIENTS

ABSTRACT

Cardiovascular complications in COVID-19 include deep vein thrombosis, stroke, angina, myocardial infarction, heart failure and cardiogenic shock.ECG changes including sinus tachycardia, sinus bradycardia and atrial ?brillation . Incidence of cardiovascular complications is directly linked to severity of disease which in turn correlate with in?ammatory markers including CRP, LDH, Ferritin, D Dimer and IL-6. Raised In?ammatory markers also suggest poor outcome of patients. Therefore it is advisable to do in?ammatory markers in admitted patients for management. Followup study at 3 and 6 months revealed new onset cardiovascular complications while no new complications were documented at 12months follow up.Thus regular health checkup is recommended post COVID infections for atleast 6months.
