The long-term risk of cardiovascular and thrombotic events following severe COVID-19 remains largely unknown. This study aimed to assess the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) within one year after hospital discharge in patients who received intensive care for severe COVID-19. A register-based nationwide case-control study on a cohort of patients with severe COVID-19 (cases) requiring mechanical ventilation and discharged alive without experiencing cardiovascular or thrombotic events during their hospital stay.

Cryogenic phonon detectors with transition-edge sensors achieve the best sensitivity to sub-GeV/c dark matter interactions with nuclei in current direct detection experiments. In such devices, the temperature of the thermometer and the bias current in its readout circuit need careful optimization to achieve optimal detector performance. This task is not trivial and is typically done manually by an expert.

- Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), frequently diagnosed after COVID-19, involves excessive heart rate increase when standing, without drops in blood pressure (BP). This study compared BP profiles of 100 POTS patients post-COVID-19 to 100 healthy controls.* -
- The findings revealed that POTS patients had higher nighttime systolic BP and were more likely to experience daytime hypotensive episodes, with significant differences in circadian BP patterns.* -
- Overall, the study suggests that individuals with post-COVID-19 POTS have disrupted BP regulation and higher average BP levels, indicating a need for further research on potential targeted BP treatments.*
Article Synopsis
- Post-acute COVID-19 syndrome (PACS) occurs in patients even after mild infections, and this study investigates the link between PACS and microvascular endothelial dysfunction.* -
- Out of 92 PACS patients, 41% showed signs of microvascular endothelial dysfunction, with increased levels of N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) correlated to this dysfunction.* -
- The findings suggest that microvascular endothelial dysfunction is common in PACS, particularly in those with rising NT-proBNP levels, highlighting the need for further research on this condition.*
Article Synopsis
- Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) affects about 30% of individuals with post-COVID-19 condition, leading to significant physical and psychological limitations.
- A study evaluated tailored endurance and strength training over 12 weeks for 26 participants, with high adherence rates (76% for exercise and 96% completion).
- The intervention showed improvements in symptoms and physical/psychological functions, suggesting that future research can be conducted with minor adjustments to the evaluation methods used.
