Abstract

Introduction: risk factors were one of the main problems associated with cardiovascular complications in patients post SARS CoV-2 infection. According to several studies, the main risk factors associated with the development of heart failure were hypertension and diabetes, associated with alterations in the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System and the ACE-2 receptor, as well as structural and functional alterations at the cardiac level.
Aim: to describe the risk factors associated with the development of heart failure after SARS CoV-2 infection.
Methods: narrative literature review using a systematic search through SciELO, ScienceDirect and PubMed databases.
Results: 14 articles were found and analyzed of which 7 articles explained and detailed the main risk factors while the other 7 articles described the pathogenic mechanisms associated with the development of post-infection heart failure.
Conclusions: The main risk factors associated with the development of heart failure are arterial hypertension, as well as diabetes mellitus, in addition to this thanks to the collection of information it was also evidenced that these factors are related to an increase in the mortality rate and deterioration in the quality of life of the patient.
