Implicações Cardiovasculares em Pacientes Infectados com Covid-19 e a Importância do Isolamento Social para Reduzir a Disseminação da Doença

Letalidade e características dos óbitos por COVID-19 em Rondônia: estudo observacional

“…Although the lethality rate identified in this study for the population in the 20-39 and 40-49 age groups (0.3% and 1.6%, respectively) is not particularly pronounced when compared to that found in the population aged 60 and over (13.2%), nevertheless it draws attention and raises the hypothesis of association involving presence of comorbidities and chronic diseases in a population in which these conditions were not to be expected. The data of this study are in line with those of Costa et al, 13 identifying that in Brazil the younger population under 60 years old is presenting comorbidities that place it in the high risk group. In other words, people comprising the economically active age group are also exposed to death from COVID-19.…”

“…8 This may be associated with the comorbidity profile of this population, as well as factors related to access to health care, alongside lack of public policies on active integration of the elderly in society, with low availability of programs providing healthier lifestyles for this population, thus making them more susceptible to pandemic situations like this one. Moreover, some authors 13 indicate that the mortality rate among elderly people tends to be nine times higher than among other age groups. This occurs principally because there is greater prevalence of comorbidities in this age range, resulting in greater complications and more severe forms of COVID-19, thus raising lethality among this segment of the population.…”

COVID-19 and heart: relationship of cardiac tropism of the new coronavirus in affected patients/COVID-19 e coração: relação do tropismo cardíaco do novo coronavírus em doentes afectados

“…The interaction between the new coronavirus and the cardiovascular system has been proven and published materials show that cases of acute onset heart failure, myocardial infarction, myocarditis and cardiac arrest are present in patients infected with this virus. In addition, it is also mentioned that cases of damage to myocardial tissue have been found, generating an increase in troponin I, acute cardiac damage, shock and arrhythmia 6 .…”

“…The COVID-19 infection can cause a systemic inflammatory response that results in cardiac injury which leads to an increase of troponin, D-dimer, procalcitonin, C-reactive protein, ferritin and NT-proBNP 6,7 . According to Guo et al, elevated levels of troponin is associated with markedly higher mortality when compared with patients with normal levels of troponin, respectively 59,6% against 8,9%.…”

Covid 19 No Estado De Pernambuco No Brasil - O Que Os Dados Têm a Dizer?

“…Dos estudos elencados, apenas 9,09% dos artigos abordaram de forma enfática o histórico da infecção, sinais e sintomas gerados pelo Coronavírus (COSTA et al, 2020;AZEVEDO et al, 2020).…”
