COVID-19 Consequences on Cardiovascular System: Immediate, Intermediate, and Long-Term Complications

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. 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 the acute infection to the long-term complications. Written by a team of experts, this book is a one-stop-shop reference for both the healthcare professionals and the 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. Covers all the current scientific pieces of evidence about the effects of COVID-19 on the heart and cardiovascular system from both a basic and a clinical point of view Discusses immediate, intermediate, and long-term complications of COVID-19 on cardiovascular system Includes studies conducted worldwide from well-known experts in related fields INDICE: 1.
