Abstract

Objective. To study the dynamics and relationships of clinical and echocardiographic (EchoCG) parameters in patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVD) with optimal visualization 3, 12 and 26 months after COVID-19 pneumonia.

Material and methods. The dynamics of clinical data and EchoCG parameters was studied in 86 patients with CVD with optimal visualization in echocardiography 3, 12 and 26 months after COVID-19 pneumonia (56.9±7.9 years, 48.8% of men).

Results. During the follow-up, the body mass index (BMI) of patients increased (29.9±3.9 versus 30.7±4.5 kg/m2 , p<0.001) in the absence of a significant increase in the frequency and severity of CVD. The global left ventricle longitudinal strain increased (19.2±2.3 versus 19.8±2.2%, p=0.034), as well as the global longitudinal endocardial right ventricle strain (20.1±3.3 versus 23.7±5.1%, p=0.004) and systolic velocity of the lateral part of the tricuspid ring (9.0 [7.0; 11.0] cm/s versus 11.0 [9.0; 12.0], p<0.001). Decreased early diastolic velocity of the septal part of the mitral ring (e’ sept) (7.0 [6.0; 8.0] versus 6.0 [5.0; 8.0] cm/s, p=0.014) and maximum diastolic velocity of the lateral part of the tricuspid ring (12.5 [10.8; 14.0] versus 7.0 [6.0; 9.0] cm/s, p<0.001).

Conclusion. Patients with CVD with optimal echocardiography visualization in the long term after COVID-19 pneumonia show an increase in BMI, improvement in ventricular systolic function and worsening of diastolic ventricular function.
