Multi‐disciplinary collaborative consensus guidance statement on the assessment and treatment of cardiovascular complications in patients with post‐acute sequelae of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection (PASC)

Multi‐disciplinary collaborative consensus guidance statement on the assessment and treatment of autonomic dysfunction in patients with post‐acute sequelae of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection (PASC)

“…ECG, echocardiography, and ambulatory cardiac monitoring should be considered for patients presenting with autonomic dysfunction. If history and physical exam are suggestive of or consistent with cardiovascular disorders rather than autonomic dysfunction, we recommend cardiovascular evaluation as per the separately published PASC Collaborative consensus guidance statement on Cardiovascular Complications 18 . In cases of diagnostic uncertainty and given the significant overlap between cardiac and autonomic symptoms, clinicians should have a low threshold for obtaining both cardiovascular and autonomic evaluations.…”

“…This document is part of a larger series addressing the most common manifestations of PASC, and specifically discusses the assessment and treatment of autonomic dysfunction. Fatigue, cognitive symptoms, respiratory sequalae, and cardiovascular complications of PASC are discussed elsewhere 15–18 …”

Multidisciplinary collaborative consensus guidance statement on the assessment and treatment of neurologic sequelae in patients with post‐acute sequelae of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection (PASC)

“…These recommendations and guidance are informed by experts from established PASC centers with experience in managing individuals across the spectrum of sequelae experienced by patients with PASC. [8][9][10]13,14 There is an intentional focus on health equity as disparities in care and outcomes are critically important to address. Beyond patient care, the hope is that a broadened understanding of current patient care practices will help identify areas of future research.…”

“…The PASC Collaborative is following an iterative, modified Delphi process to achieve consensus on assessment and treatment recommendations for a series of consensus guidance statements focused on the most prominent PASC symptoms. These recommendations and guidance are informed by experts from established PASC centers with experience in managing individuals across the spectrum of sequelae experienced by patients with PASC 8–10,13,14 . There is an intentional focus on health equity as disparities in care and outcomes are critically important to address.…”

Long COVID in the context of social determinants of health

“…In 2022, the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (AAPM&R) published several multidisciplinary, collaborative consensus guidance statements for the assessment and treatment of long COVID-related conditions ( 19 – 22 ). All guidance statements highlighted the importance of health equity to recommend the consideration of social determinants of health (SDOH) in assessing and managing COVID-related symptoms.…”
