Сoronavirus infection COVID-19 and features of its treatment in a patient with cardiovascular pathology. Clinical case

Patients with cardiovascular disease represent a particularly vulnerable population in a pandemic of the coronavirus infection COVID-19. They are more at risk of infection, a severe course of the disease, as well as a higher mortality rate compared to a healthy population. Currently, there are no randomized clinical trials to determine the most effective approaches to treatment in this category of patients. The presented clinical example demonstrates the possibilities of using various groups of drugs recommended for the treatment of COVID-19, and the high efficiency of treatment with an interleukin-6 receptor inhibitor (IL-6) in a patient with severe new coronavirus infection and the presence of concomitant cardiovascular pathology. © 2020, Media Sphera Publishing Group.

Features of the course and approaches to the treatment of coronavirus infection COVID- 19 patients with cardiovascular diseases

Пациенты с наличием сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний (ССЗ) представляют особую уязвимую группу населения в условиях пандемии коронавирусной инфекции COVID -19. Они наиболее подвержены риску заражения, тяжелому течению заболевания, а также более высокой летальности по сравнению со здоровой популяцией. В настоящее время отсутствуют рандомизированные клинические исследования, позволяющие определить наиболее эффективные подходы к лечению у данной категории больных. Представленный клинический пример демонстрирует возможности применения различных групп препаратов, рекомендованных для лечения COVID-19 и высокую эффективность терапии ингибитором рецептора интерлейкина - 6 (ИЛ-6) у пациента с тяжелым течением новой коронавирусной инфекции и наличием сопутствующей сердечно-сосудистой патологии.
