Acute and Post-acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection: Focus on Systemic Complications

Dear Colleagues,

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) due to a novel coronavirus (CoV2) has rapidly spread worldwide and changed various systems, especially healthcare systems. This virus not only affects the pulmonary parenchyma but also profoundly impacts the cardiovascular system. Systemic complications associated with SARS-CoV2 infection are frequently found in COVID-19 disease, with several manifestations and indiscriminate havoc on multiple organ systems including the heart, brain, kidney, and the vasculature. Moreover, long COVID-19 syndrome has emerged as a new pandemic, causing substantial disability to millions of people globally.

Therefore, we would like to encourage the presentation to this Special Issue additional insights on the link between COVID-19 disease and systemic complications, in order to provide clinicians a range of the potential manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 beyond the destructive lung infection.

Adding new information on these subjects may lead to a better understanding of the pathogenesis not only of COVID-19 infection but also of different diseases and aid in the design of new therapeutic and prophylactic strategies.
