Medical treatment of patients with cardiovascular diseases during the first year after hospitalization for COVID-19

Aim. To evaluate the medical treatment of patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) during the first year of follow-up after hospitalization for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in a prospective registry.Material and methods. The material for the study was obtained from the database of the TARGET-VIP inhospital registry. The registry included 1130 people. Of 863 patients discharged from the hospital with a diagnosis of COVID-19, 473 (548%) patients with CVD were selected, and 31 (40,8%) patients were selected from 76 patients in whom the diagnosis of COVID-19 was not confirmed with CVD.Results. At the stage of discharge from the hospital, the quality of therapy for CVD was insufficient on average, the frequency of proper prescriptions was 59,5%. During the first year, there was a significant trend towards a decrease in the prevalence of antihypertensive therapy for hypertension (p=0,018), anticoagulants for atrial fibrillation (pConclusion. In the TARGET-VIP registry after discharge from the hospital, the prevalence of proper appointments for CVD was insufficient. During the first year of observation, patients with CVD showed a significant decrease in the frequency of proper prescription of antihypertensive therapy for hypertension and anticoagulants for atrial fibrillation. When comparing groups of patients with confirmed and non-confirmed COVID-19, a higher average rate of adherence to proper prescriptions was found in patients with confirmed COVID-19. However, significant differences were found only 30-60 days after discharge.
