MONTESDEOCA RUIZ, Salome Gabriela et al. Analysis of cardiorespiratory functional capacity in patients between 30 and 60 years old post COVID-19. Rev Cuba Reumatol [online]. 2023, vol.25, n.2 Epub 01-Jun-2023. ISSN 1817-5996.
Introduction:
COVID-19 affects the respiratory and cardiovascular systems during the disease process; however, it is unknown if this affectation disappears with the resolution of the inflammatory process or if it remains in the form of a sequel over time.
Objective:
To analyze the cardiorespiratory functional capacity in patients between 30 and 60 years old post COVID-19.
Methods:
A basic, non-experimental, descriptive and cross-sectional investigation was carried out that included 328 patients, of which 178 were part of the sample. General characteristics, respiratory and cardiovascular functional capacity were analyzed.
Results:
Average age of 53,48 years with a predominance of female patients (55.62 %). 33.15 % of the patients reported an associated comorbidity. 15.73 % of the patients presented bradycardia and 8.99 % tachycardia. Hypertensive disease was identified in 42.70 % of the cases. The respiratory manifestations were given by the presence of dyspnea and a high percentage of patients with tachypnea and oxygen saturation disorders.
Conclusions:
After 6 months of the presence of COVID-19, a high percentage of patients presented cardiorespiratory manifestations that affected the functional capacity of both devices.
