The severity of illness during acute COVID-19 (measured, for example, by admission to an intensive care unit (ICU) and/or requirement for non-invasive and/or invasive mechanical ventilation) has been significantly associated with the presence or persistence of symptoms (such as dyspnea, fatigue/muscular weakness and PTSD), reduction in health-related quality of life scores, pulmonary function abnormalities and radiographic abnormalities in the post-acute COVID-19 setting5,22,24.

Curr. 2, 12001203 (2020). The timing of the emergence of MIS-C (which was lagging approximately 1month behind peak COVID-19 incidence in epicenters in Spring 2020211) and the finding that most patients are negative for acute infection but are antibody positive suggest that MIS-C may result from an aberrant acquired immune response rather than acute viral infection208. 26, 681687 (2020).

Steroid use during acute COVID-19 was not associated with diffusion impairment and radiographic abnormalities at 6months follow-up in the post-acute COVID-19 Chinese study5. Rare areas of myofibroblast proliferation, mural fibrosis and microcystic honeycombing have also been noted. Med. In a study of 26 competitive college athletes with mild or asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection, cardiac MRI revealed features diagnostic of myocarditis in 15% of participants, and previous myocardial injury in 30.8% of participants114. 41, 445456 (2013). was supported by National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases grants R01-DK114893, R01-MD014161 and U01-DK116066, as well as National Science Foundation grant 2032726.

If it happens, healthcare providers can effectively and immediately treat the reaction. Bharat, A. et al. Inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST) is a syndrome of cardiac and extracardiac symptoms characterized by substantially fast sinus heart rate (HR) at rest (>100 bpm) or with minimal activity and . 12, eabe4282 (2020). In both disorders, HR can increase greatly in response to minimal activity. No patient had complained of palpitations prior to the SARS-CoV-2 infection, endorsing the principle of post-infective IST. Lung transplantation in pulmonary fibrosis secondary to influenza A pneumonia. POTS was also linked, to a lesser degree, to Covid vaccination with an mRNA vaccine, according to the new study. 108, e233e235 (2019). However, this is not the first time that IST has been described after coronavirus infection. & Cooper, L. T. Jr. Soc. A.S.N. Nephrol. J. Intern. Blood 136, 11691179 (2020). At the acute stage, sinus tachycardia may reflect systemic hyper-sympathetic tone. Dyn. Thrombolysis 50, 7281 (2020). The mechanisms contributing to neuropathology in COVID-19 can be grouped into overlapping categories of direct viral infection, severe systemic inflammation, neuroinflammation, microvascular thrombosis and neurodegeneration139,151,152,153. Siripanthong, B. et al. The overlap of sequelae of post-acute COVID-19 with those of SARS and MERS may be explained by phylogenetic similarities between the responsible pathogenic coronaviruses. Haemost. As a result, COVID-19 survivors with persistent impaired renal function in the post-acute infectious phase may benefit from early and close follow-up with a nephrologist in AKI survivor clinics, supported by its previous association with improved outcomes180,181. Eur. Immunol. 743, 135567 (2021). The burden of supraventricular premature beats was lower in IST-PCS patients. Considering this, it seems reasonable that the mechanisms leading to IST after SARS-CoV-2 infection are mixed, with injury of the ANS, which constantly regulates heart rate and vascular tone, playing an important role. https://doi.org/10.7861/clinmed.2020-0896 (2021).

Algorithms for both severe and mild-to-moderate COVID-19 groups recommend clinical assessment and chest X-ray in all patients at 12weeks, along with consideration of PFTs, 6MWTs, sputum sampling and echocardiogram according to clinical judgment.
