- - The study explores the long-term effects of COVID-19 on cardiovascular systems in patients infected at least 3 months prior, finding significant disruptions in autonomic function and increased incidence of orthostatic hypotension in post-COVID patients compared to controls.
- - Fifty-nine subjects were divided into two groups: controls with no COVID-19 history and post-COVID patients, with cardiovascular autonomic activity evaluated through heart rate variability and various reflex tests.
- - Results showed many post-COVID patients displayed abnormal cardiovascular reflexes and reduced responses in physical tests, indicating altered cardiovascular reactivity that warrants further investigation.
