COVID-19 Consequences on Cardiovascular System: Immediate, Intermediate, and Long-Term Complications covers all the aspects related with the interplay between SARS-COV-2 infection and the cardiovascular system, from bench to bedside and from acute infection to long-term complications. Written by a team of experts, this book is a one-stop-shop reference for both healthcare professionals and researchers who require a comprehensive view into the deleterious effects of COVID-19 on the cardiovascular system, the relationship of cardiovascular risk factors with COVID-19 prognosis, and further insights on the biomarkers that currently make it possible to predict and monitor the evolution of the disease at the cardiovascular level.
Scientific evidence demonstrates that while COVID-19 primarily affects the lungs, it also affects multiple organs, particularly the cardiovascular system, with its most common complications being arrhythmia, cardiac injury, fulminant myocarditis, heart failure and pulmonary embolism.
