ABSTRACT
The article analyses the results of changes in pulse rate, central aortic and peripheral blood pressure recorded at 79 northern higher educational institution teachers (31 men and 48 women) who underwent laboratory-confirmed coronavirus infection (COVID-19 +) during their teleworking period and at 116 teachers (55 men and 61 women) without a coronavirus infection history or with negative laboratory-confirmed results for the presence of M and G antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19˗). A comparative analysis of the studied parameters in the Post-COVID-19 period has been carried out with the focus on age and sex differences. The median (Me) age of teachers who have had COVID-19 is 53 years old for men, and for women it is 47 years old;the data of those who have not had the disease are 35 and 38 respectively. The statistical data among male teachers who have undergone COVID-19 are the following: 29.0% were young, 58.1% were middle-aged, and 12.9% were elderly people;the records among female teachers are 43.8%, 35.4%, and 13.1%. respectively. It was stated that changes after COVID-19 in Central Aortic Systolic Pressure (CASP), Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP) as well as in heart rate depended on the patients’ age and the presence of hypertension in them. Among the teachers who underwent COVID-19, 32.9% were with hypertension. It was revealed that after COVID-19, the teachers who had not had hypertension before the diagnosis of COVID-19 was made, had some decrease in their heart rate, CASP and SBP;in teachers with hypertension diagnosed prior to COVID-19 with Post-COVID-19 syndrome, an increase in their cSBP, SBP and heart rate was revealed. A statistical analysis with the use of “Statistica” 13.3 program was carried out. To identify differences in quantitative indicators (Me [Q25, Q75]) the Mann-Whitney criterion (U) was used, to identify differences in qualitative indicators the χ2 test was used. © 2021, Science and Innovation Center Publishing House.
