Autonomic dysregulation in long-term patients suffering from Post-COVID-19 Syndrome assessed by heart rate variability
❗Elegant study with more Vagus nerve impairment
➡️"Our data demonstrate persistent heart rate variability (HRV) alterations in PCS(LongCovid) patients with long-term symptom duration, suggesting a sustained impairment of sympathovagal balance"
➡️"PCS patients showed signs of a sympathetic overstimulation and a diminished parasympathetic response comparable to patients with CAD.
➡️"In addition, the relation of these HRV anomalies to the severity of the acute COVID-19 infection supports their relevance.
Study: PCS patients’ mean age was 49.0 ± 11.3 years, 45.7% were women. The median time interval between the (first) acute COVID-19 infection and start of medical rehabilitation (i. e. time of examination) was 252 (IQR 166–310) days. During acute infection, 31% had been hospitalized (38% with need for ventilation), 69% had received ambulant care or acute care at home. 24 h Holter-ECG
