SYSTEMATIC REVIEW OF VASCULAR DISEASES IN PATIENTS WITH COVID 19 WITHOUT COMORBIDITIES
Keywords:
COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2, cardiovascular complications, thromboembolism, ischemiaAbstract
COVID-19 has shown a complex interaction with the vascular and cardiovascular system, triggering a series of events that directly affect the vascular endothelium and myocardium. The widespread presence of ACE2 receptors in the vascular endothelium facilitates entry of the virus, triggering an inflammatory and thrombotic response leading to endothelial injury. Elevated levels of D-dimer and fibrinogen, markers of hypercoagulability, have been identified and correlate with disease severity and risk of thrombotic events. In this article, we will focus on studying the pathophysiological mechanisms that influence vascular damage in COVID 19 infections, demonstrate the incidence between vascular damage and SARS-CoV-2 infection, and analyze the impact of COVID 19 on the development of vascular disease in patients without comorbidities.
