The Interplay Between Hyperglycemia, Endothelial Dysfunction, and Cardiovascular Risk in the Context of COVID-19: Implications for Long-term Health
Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the potential impact of hyperglycemia, especially its link to cardiovascular disease (CVD) and endothelial dysfunction. COVID-19 can cause systemic inflammation and endothelial damage, worsening complications related to hyperglycemia. Persistent inflammation and endothelial dysfunction are crucial elements in the progression of atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases. The long-term health effects of COVID-19, known as “Long COVID” or post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), have raised concerns …
