Impact of Covid-19 on Respiratory and Cardiovascular Status in Covid Recovered Young Adults

Abstract

Introduction: Corona viruses are a type of virus that can infect both humans as well as animals. they can impact both the pulmonary and extra-pulmonary systems, resulting in a high fatality rate. The purpose of this review article is to understand the impact of COVID-19 on cardiovascular and respiratory function in young adults who have recovered from Covid-19.

Methodology: To construct a narrative review on this topic, we examined a number of databases, Google Scholar, Medline, PubMed, Researchgate and
search approach was using a combination of the words impact of Covid- 19 on young adults, SARS-CoV-2, cardiovascular status, respiratory status.

Discussion: It was found that even while the majority of mild and moderate instances of acute respiratory distress syndrome recover completely, a tiny
percentage of severe cases of acute respiratory distress syndrome remain hypoxemic despite obtaining proper care and VO2 max is seen to be reduced inCOVID-19 symptomatic patients compared to asymptomatic. There was a high prevalence of multi-organ failure and associated elevated d-dimer, fibrinogen,and delayed thrombin time in severe diseases, and their negative outcomes were linked to co-morbidities such as hypertension, cardiovascular, pulmonary illness and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Conclusion: The long-term effect of Coronavirus on cardiopulmonary function is highly controversial. It is expected that some patients will have subclinical and possibly observable cardiovascular abnormalities. Patients with allegedly recovered cardiac function may still be at risk of CAD, atrial fibrillation or ventricular arrhythmias. Recovered patients with compromised respiratory status are more vulnerable to develop respiratory and cardiac ailments later in life.
