Background There is currently very limited information on the nature and prevalence of post-COVID-19 symptoms after hospital discharge. Methods A purposive sample 100 survivors discharged from a large University were assessed 4 to 8 weeks discharge by multidisciplinary team rehabilitation professionals using specialist telephone screening tool designed capture impact daily life. EQ-5D-5L version was also completed. Results Participants between 29 71 days (mean 48 days) postdischarge...
Introduction: Post-COVID-19 syndrome, or Long Covid (LC) refers to symptoms persisting 12 weeks after the COVID-19 infection. LC comprises a wide range of dysautonomia symptoms, including fatigue, breathlessness, palpitations, dizziness, pain and brain fog. This study tested feasibility estimated efficacy, Heart Rate Variability Biofeedback (HRV-B) programme via standardised slow diaphragmatic breathing technique in individuals with LC. Methods: patients underwent 4-week HRV-B intervention...
Orthostatic intolerance (OI), including postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (PoTS) and hypotension (OH), are often reported in long covid, but published studies small with inconsistent results. We sought to estimate the prevalence of objective OI patients attending covid clinics healthy volunteers associations symptoms comorbidities. Participants a diagnosis were recruited from eight UK clinics, general population. All undertook standardized National Aeronautics Space Administration...
Introduction: A likely mechanism of Long COVID (LC) is dysautonomia, manifesting as orthostatic intolerance (OI). In our LC service, all patients underwent a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Lean Test (NLT), which can detect OI syndromes Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (PoTS) or Orthostatic Hypotension (OH) in clinic setting. Patients also completed the COVID-19 Yorkshire Rehabilitation Scale (C19-YRS), validated outcome measure. Our objectives this retrospective study were...
The underlying pathophysiology of post-coronavirus disease 2019 (long-COVID-19) syndrome remains unknown, but increased cardiometabolic demand and state mitochondrial dysfunction have emerged as candidate mechanisms. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) provides insight into pathophysiological mechanisms cardiovascular 31-phosphorus CMR spectroscopy (
Long COVID (LC), also known as post-COVID-19 syndrome, refers to symptoms persisting 12 weeks after COVID-19 infection. It affects up one in seven people contracting the illness and causes a wide range of symptoms, including fatigue, breathlessness, palpitations, dizziness, pain brain fog. Many these can be linked dysautonomia or dysregulation autonomic nervous system SARS-CoV2 This study aims test feasibility estimate efficacy, heart rate variability biofeedback (HRV-B) technique via...

Autonomic dysfunction is an increasingly recognised complication in chronic neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, and other medical conditions, including diabetes mellitus, fatigue syndrome, postural tachycardia syndrome (PoTS) with without Ehlers-Danlos fibromyalgia recently Long COVID. Despite laboratory-based tests to evaluate normal abnormal autonomic function, there are no home-based record neuro-cardiovascular responses common stimuli daily life that dependent on...
Abstract Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disease. Delayed administration of PD medications associated with increased risk life-threatening complications including choking, aspiration pneumonia and neuroleptic malignant syndrome. In 2016, the spouse patient wrote to Leeds Teaching Hospitals Trust (LTHT) highlight that multiple medication delays omissions had occurred during his recent admission. response, LTHT formed quality improvement (QI) Collaborative...

Abstract At Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust doctors type an electronic discharge advice note (eDAN) which includes a prescription for medication, before patient can be discharged from hospital. In 2014 staff on the Medical Admissions Unit Older People identified significant delays in completion of this document, with average time 138 minutes. This caused harm and exacerbated bed management problems as patients remained hospital longer than necessary to obtain their medication. Ward wanted...
