Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has been one of the largest risks to global population health in recent years, and acute infection and the persistent symptoms of long COVID will likely continue to affect global health for years to come. Long COVID is very complex and impacts multiple systems and organs, resulting in an extensive and undulating presentation of symptoms. COVID-19 has been shown to cause various cardiovascular (CV) injuries following acute infection, with many patients suffering long-lasting impairment. This review article discusses the prevalence of CV complications following an acute COVID-19 infection and considers effective prevention and disease management strategies to help restore functional status and quality of life in patients.
