COVID-19 and haemodynamic failure: a point of view on mechanisms and treatment

Abstract: The SARS-CoV-2-related disease has an undoubted impact on the healthcare system. In the treatment of severe COVID-19 cases, the main focus is on respiratory failure. However, available data suggest an important contribution of haemodynamic impairment in the course of this disease. SARS-CoV-2 may affect the circulatory system in various ways that are universal for septic conditions. Nonetheless, unique features of this pathogen, e.g. direct insult leading to myocarditis and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis dy… Show more

“…Universally, the mortality of critically ill patients with COVID-19 is higher than that of other critically ill patients [53,54]. A main cause for this difference is the characteristics of the SARS-CoV-2 infection, which can rapidly affect other organs including the cardiovascular system [55]. However, there are no specific guidelines on the hemodynamic support of COVID-19 patients.…”

“… 2 Potential mechanisms by which COVID-19 may impact myocardial function include myocarditis, 10 effects of inflammatory cytokines, MI, and microcirculatory dysfunction with the potential for ischemia. 1 , 3 Several patients had pulmonary emboli and pericardial tamponade, which have also been reported as complications of COVID. 2 , 11 …”

“…Some of that shock is cardiogenic; potential mechanisms of myocardial injury in COVID-19 include direct injury from viral infection, consequences of the immune response to COVID, ischemia or infarction, dysregulation of the renin-angiotensin system, and endothelial dysfunction, which appears to be most prominent in the microcirculation. 1 , 2 , 3 In other patients, shock may be hypovolemic, obstructive, or distributive. The proportion of the various potential etiologies of shock in critically ill patients with COVID-19 is currently unknown.…”

“…However, it must be kept in mind that artery cannulation with bore catheters poses some kind of risk. Type of monitoring should be tailored to the patient’s condition and also, as it is especially very important in COVID-19 patients, to the medical staff safety [ 22 ].…”
