The Challenge of treating Heart Failure Patients who are Post Covid-19
Post Covid 19 heart failure can develop due to a systematic inflammatory response to the infection, high lung pressures from lung damage, or occur from heart inflammation known as myocarditis.
CHF Post Covid
“Indivduals with known cardiovascular disease are at an increased risk of more severe complications from respiratory viral illnesses, including the flu and Covid-19. We know that during severe SARS-CoV-2 infection, heart function may decrease. Sometimes this decrease is a consequence of the systemic inflammatory response to infection, and occasionally, in some people, because of direct viral infection in the heart. For older patients, with existing heart failure, the increased demand placed on the heart causes additional stress on the cardiac reserve capacity”
