Moreover, a considerable proportion of patients may develop cardiac injury in the context of COVID-19 which portends an increased risk of in-hospital mortality. Patients with CV risk factors including male sex, advanced age, diabetes, hypertension and obesity as well as patients with established CV and cerebrovascular disease have been identified as particularly vulnerable populations with increased morbidity and mortality when suffering from COVID-19. SARS-CoV‑2 not only causes viral pneumonia but has major implications for the CV system. Of note, assays to detect the virus in asymptomatic and symptomatic patients have important limitations in terms of sensitivity and specificity and will be complemented by tests for antibodies to identify those that already have been infected previously. In view of finite health care resources, health care providers are confronted with ethical considerations on how to prioritize access to care for individual patients as well as providing care for COVID-19 while not neglecting other life-threatening emergencies.

In addition, protective measures against SARS-CoV‑2 gain particular significance for health care personnel ( HCP) in direct contact with patients suffering from COVID-19 as well as for ambulatory and hospitalized patients without infection.

Owing to the unexpected need for large capacities of intensive care unit ( ICU) beds with the ability to provide respiratory support and mechanical ventilation, temporary redistribution and reorganization of resources within hospitals have become necessary with relevant consequences for all medical specialties. In the absence of vaccines or curative medical treatment, COVID-19 exerts an unprecedented global impact on public health and health care delivery. The SARS-CoV‑2 causing COVID-19 has reached pandemic levels since March 2020. Patients with cardiac injury in the context of COVID-19 have an increased risk of morbidity and mortality.Patients with cardiovascular ( CV) risk factors and established cardiovascular disease ( CVD) represent a vulnerable population when suffering from COVID-19.Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 ( SARS-CoV‑2) causing coronavirus disease 2019 ( COVID-19) has reached pandemic levels.Each summary includes detailed information about symptoms caused by a specific cancer.Download change history log 1.

To learn more about symptoms for a specific cancer, see the list of PDQ® cancer treatment summaries for adult and childhood cancers. If you have symptoms that do not get better after a few weeks, see your doctor so that problems can be diagnosed and treated as early as possible. Often, cancer does not cause pain, so do not wait to feel pain before seeing a doctor. Cancer can cause many symptoms, but these symptoms are most often caused by illness, injury, benign tumors, or other problems.
