“… 1 In our case, CMR showed LGE in the inferolateral segments of the epicardial to mid layers, which has been reported to be a characteristic finding in patients with mRNA vaccine-associated myocarditis. 3 Endocardial biopsy is the gold standard for detecting myocarditis, but it is invasive and is thought to have less sensitivity in disorders resulting from epicardial and patchy diseases, such as myocarditis. 3 On the other hand, CMR is considered to be the cornerstone for diagnosis of vaccine-associated myocarditis due to its high diagnostic performance, 3 with a reported sensitivity of 88% and specificity of 96% in community-acquired myocarditis.…”

“…In patients with reduced functional capacity, further evaluation is merited and cardiology referral may be beneficial. In known or suspected cases of myocardial involvement, transthoracic echocardiography remains the test of choice for initial screening, although cardiac MRI is preferred for confirming myocarditis [36]. Suspected arrythmias should be evaluated with 12-lead electrocardiograms (EKG), however, in paroxysmal dysrhythmias, the sensitivity of isolated EKG sampling can be of limited utility and longer duration monitoring may be merited.…”

Purpose of review Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), can lead to organ dysfunction and clinical symptoms beyond the acute infection phase. These effects may have significant implications for the management of perioperative patients. The purpose of this article is to provide a systems-based approach to the subacute and chronic effects of SARS-CoV-2 that are most relevant to anesthesiology practice. Recent findings In 2024, COVID-19 remains a concern for anesthesiologists due ongoing new infections, evolving viral strains, and relatively low rates of booster vaccination in the general population. A growing body of literature describes the post-COVID-19 syndrome in which patients experience symptoms more than 12 weeks after acute infection. Recent literature describes the lingering effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection on all major organ systems, including neurologic, pulmonary, cardiovascular, renal, hematologic, and musculoskeletal, and suggests an increased perioperative mortality risk in some populations. Summary This review offers anesthesiologists an organ system-based approach to patients with a history of COVID-19. Recognizing the long-term sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection can help anesthesiologists to better evaluate perioperative risk, anticipate clinical challenges, and thereby optimize patient care.

Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus - 2 (SARS-CoV-2), later renamed Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) was first identified in Wuhan, China, in early December 2019. Initially, the China office of the World Health Organization was informed of numerous cases of pneumonia of unidentified etiology in Wuhan, Hubei Province on December 31, 2019. This would subsequently result in a global pandemic with over 76 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 and 6.9 million deaths reported to the WHO. We have analyzed most of the data published since the beginning of the pandemic to compile this comprehensive review of SARS-CoV-2. We look at the core ideas, such as the etiology, epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical symptoms, diagnostics, histopathologic findings, consequences, therapies, and vaccines. We have also included the long-term effects and myths associated with some therapeutics of COVID-19. This study comprehensively assesses of the SARS-CoV-2 virology, vaccines, medicines, and significant variants identified during the pandemic. Our review article is intended to provide medical practitioners with a better understanding of the fundamental sciences, clinical treatment, and prevention of COVID-19. As of June 2023, this paper contains the most recent data made accessible.
