“…Assessing cardiorespiratory fitness is a clinical vital sign [ 16 , 17 ] and cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) provides the most standardized quantification of CRF. Put simply, without CPET, the pathophysiologic impacts of COVID-19 that only manifest during physical exertion, or manifest more profoundly during physical exertion, would be missed entirely, preventing a holistic understanding of the clinical presentation [ 18 ].…”

Introduction: Persistent post-COVID syndrome, also referred to as long COVID, is a pathologic entity that involves persistent physical, medical, and cognitive sequelae following COVID-19. Decreased fitness has repeatedly been reported in numerous studies dealing with post-COVID syndrome, however, it is still not fully clear which groups of patients may be more susceptible for persisting symptoms. Aim: The aim of our study was to evaluate the number of post-COVID patients with cardiac symptoms, where these patients were evaluated by CPET and the results compared with a control group of patients. Methods: Follow-up of patients in post-COVID outpatient clinic from 1 March 2020 to 31 May 2022. Inclusion criteria were positive PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 and age 18–100. The initial examination was performed 4–12 weeks after the disease onset. All patients with possible cardiac symptoms had completed cardiopulmonary exercise testing. The control group was randomly selected from a database of clients in 2019, with the preventive reason for evaluation. Results: From 1 March 2020 to 31 May 2022, 2732 patients (45.7% males) were evaluated with a mean age of 54.6 ± 14.7. CPET was indicated only in 97 patients (3.5%). Seventy-four patients (26 male) achieved the exercise maximum and a comparison were made with a control group (same age (p = 0.801), BMI (p = 0.721), and sex ratio). No significant dependence between the parameter VO2 max mL/kg/min and post-COVID disability was demonstrated (p = 0.412). Spearman’s correlation analysis did not show a significant relationship between the parameter VO2 max mL/kg/min and the severity of COVID-19 (p = 0.285). Conclusions: Cardiac symptoms occurred in only a small percentage of patients in our study. There is a need for further studies that would objectively evaluate the effect of COVID-19 disease on the patient’s health.

“…pokovidový syndróm -dlhodobé zdravotné komplikácie po prekonaní COVID-19 (7,8). Pokovidový syndróm charakterizuje pretrvávajúca únava, bolesti na hrudi, palpitácie, zhoršenie mentálnych funkcií, cefalea, artralgie, myalgie, poruchy chuti a čuchu, hematologické a gastrointestinálne ťažkosti (9). Jednou z príčin symptómov môže byť dysfunkcia autonómneho nervového systému, ktorá vedie k rozvoju syndrómu posturálnej ortostatickej tachykardie (POTS) (10).…”

Pandémia ochorenia COVID-19 (COronaVIrus Disease 2019) spôsobená koronavírusom SARS -CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) zapríčinila milióny úmrtí a mnoho pacientov má po prekonaní akútneho stavu chronické následky. V snahe o zastavenie šírenia vírusu boli vyvinuté viaceré očkovacie látky, ktoré však majú potenciálne vážne nežiaduce účinky. Prezentujeme kazuistiku pacienta s akútnymi (myokarditída, exacerbácia bronchiálnej astmy) aj dlhodobými (syndróm posturálnej ortostatickej tachykardie − POTS) komplikáciami po očkovaní druhou dávkou mRNA vakcíny BNT162b2 (Comirnaty®). Liečba pozostáva z režimových opatrení, početnej farmakoterapie (metoprolol, ivabradín, kortikosteroidy, antihistaminiká, antiflogistiká, bronchodilatanciá) a viacerých nutraceutík (extrakt z borovice prímorskej, kvercetín, vitamíny, horčík, fosfatidylcholín). V diskusii analyzujeme povakcinačné poškodenie a prinášame krátky prehľad z aktuálnej literatúry.
