Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the current context, an increasingly clear outline of the impact of COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) is being elucidated, alongside a new category of patients, namely, post-COVID-19 patients, a condition defined at more than 12 weeks after the acute viral episode by the persistence of clinical, imagistic and lung function changes (however, other unrevealed long-term health consequences may yet arise). The data that have become available after SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) was declared a global pandemic have shown that many of these patients return to the hospital with multiple symptoms and dysfunctions more than 6–12 months after the initial diagnosis. The most frequent complications that occur, both in the acute phase and at distance from the acute viral episode, include cardiovascular (myocarditis, arrhythmias), respiratory (pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary arterial hypertension), metabolic (hyperglycaemia, dyslipidemia), musculoskeletal (reactive arthritis), and psychiatric (depression, post-traumatic stress syndrome) problems. With the multitude of ongoing scientific data and evidence, as well as frequent emerging controversies, constant updates are required in the field in order to characterize this exceptional global health situation. This Special Issue of the Journal of Personalized Medicine wishes to emphasize the importance of carefully following the evolution of patients with post-COVID-19 syndrome in order to be able to foresee and identify all potential complications and minimize long-term effects. In addition, considering the multisystemic impairment following COVID-19, patient follow-up will require a multidisciplinary approach, integrating pulmonology, pulmonary rehabilitation, cardiology, neurological, nephrological, and psychiatric consultations, perhaps with other specialists on a case-to-case basis, with the main objective being to ensure the best care and anticipate the appearance of long-term sequelae in order to develop personalized strategies to optimize the management of patients with post-COVID-19 syndrome.
