AI Article Synopsis
- COVID-19 primarily disrupts the endothelium, leading to various systemic issues, and nailfold video capillaroscopy (NVC) offers a safe, noninvasive way to assess microcirculation changes.
- This review compiles existing research on NVC's application in patients with SARS-CoV-2, focusing on both the acute phase of infection and post-discharge recovery.
- The findings highlight significant capillary circulation alterations observed through NVC, suggesting future potential for integrating this method into the management of COVID-19 patients.
Article Abstract
COVID-19 is a multisystemic disease that mainly affects and causes dysregulation of the endothelium, causing systemic manifestations. A nailfold video capillaroscopy is a safe, easy, and noninvasive method to evaluate microcirculation alteration. In this review, we analyzed the literature available to date regarding the object of nailfold video capillaroscopy (NVC) use in patients with a SARS-CoV-2 infection, both in the acute phase and after discharge. The scientific evidence pointed out the main alterations in capillary circulation shown by NVC, so reviewing the findings of each article allowed us to define and analyze the future prospects and needs for possibly including NVC within the management of patients with COVID-19, both during and after the acute phase.
