Structural and functional changes of the heart in patients with coronary heart disease who have had coronavirus disease COVID-19 by S. M. Manuilov, N. S. Mykhailovska

“…In CHD patients who suffered from COVID-19, there was an increase in the estimated energy expenditure of the LV myocardium: shock work by 14.77 % (U = 461.5; p < 0.05), potential energy by 34.68 % (U = 316.5; p < 0.05) and the pressure-volume zone by 17.78 % (U = 373.0; p < 0.05), which indicates a decrease in the speed of myocardial recovery in long COVID period. It was established that the presence of COVID-19 in the history of patients with CHD is associated with an increased risk of LV dilatation by 5.6 times (95 % CI 1.71–18.29; p < 0.05), LV myocardial hypertrophy by 3.05 times (95 % CI 1.79–5.91; p < 0.05), LV diastolic dysfunction by 1.44 times (95 % CI 0.91–2.29; p < 0.05), an increase in energy expenditure during heart work by 1.66 times (95 % CI 0.68–4.02; p < 0.05). …”
