| Summary: | Since the end of 2019, the world has been gripped by a pandemic of a new coronavirus infection caused by SARS-CoV-2. From the first days, the international medical community has been actively studying the acute phase of this infection, but gradually the understanding has come that the number of people with long-term consequences, which can be of the most diverse, including multisystem nature, is increasing more and more. The review of the literature reflects current ideas about the short-term and long-term impact of infection with the SARS-CoV-2 virus on the development of electrolyte disorders and the course of cardiovascular pathology, including those that developed de novo. The debatable issues of definition, risk factors, pathogenesis, course of post-COVID syndrome are discussed with the introduction of the official term «states after COVID-19» and its interpretation, according to the World Health Organization definition proposed in the fall of 2021. Separately, the problems of cardiac arrhythmias are highlighted with an emphasis on atrial fibrillation and chronic heart failure, primarily diagnostic ones associated with non-specific dyspnea in such patients and a frequent increase in natriuretic peptides due to non-cardiac causes. It should be emphasized that information on the clinical outcomes, prognosis and pathogenesis of atrial fibrillation in COVID-19 remains controversial, which is due, on the one hand, to the influence of viremia, intoxication, and fever as obvious transient causes of this arrhythmia, and, on the other hand, to the longitudinal prothrombotic status characteristic of SARS-CoV-2 infection. It is known that the largest number of hospitalizations and deaths in the world associated with a new coronavirus infection occurs in elderly and senile people. The atypicality of the clinical picture, polymorbidity, polypharmacy, the presence of geriatric syndromes occupies a special place in the supervision of the gerontological contingent of patients, to which the authors of the review also draw the attention of clinicians. |
