COVID-19 patients have multi-system organ failure that affects not just the lungs, but also the cardiovascular, neurological, and other systems. The pleiotropy and complexity of organ system failures complicate COVID-19 patient care and contribute to the pandemic's morbidity and mortality to a large extent. Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is the most prevalent symptom of severe COVID-19 infection (ARDS). When SARS-CoV-2 infects lung cells, it causes severe inflammation in the lungs, which leads to respiratory failure. Hypoxia, hypotension, increased inflammatory state, Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor downregulation, endogenous catecholamine adrenergic stimulation, and direct viral-induced myocardial injury are all examples of cardiac symptoms. Patients with underlying cardiovascular illness or comorbidities, such as congestive heart failure, hypertension.. Read More»
