Shadieva A. A., Chernysheva E. N.

After suffering a new coronavirus infection COVID-19, up to 87% of patients complained of persistent symptoms. The development of cardiovascular complications is one of the frequent manifestations of long COVID-19, among which it should be noted: myocardial damage, rhythm disturbances, postural tachycardia syndrome (SPOT), arterial hypertension, etc. Arterial hypertension is the most common concomitant disease in patients with the new coronavirus infection COVID-19 and there are cases of first-time arterial hypertension. The presence of arterial hypertension worsens the quality of life of patients with bridge syndrome. Currently, there is no convincing data on the features of the course of arterial hypertension in patients with postcovid syndrome and further studies are needed to study this issue.
