Abstract
COVID-19 outbreak: impact of the quarantine-induced stress on cardiovascular disease risk burden.
Highlights
The novel Coronavirus, CoV-19/SARS-CoV-2 is causing a global pandemic with a high number of deaths [1,2]
During outbreak, people are fearful of falling sick or dying themselves. These negative feelings are associated with systemic inflammation and endothelial dysfunction as well as tendency to adopt an unhealthy lifestyle [7]. Both acute and sub-acute stress activates the adrenergic system and increase inflammatory response and endothelial dysfunction leading to an increase in atherosclerotic plaques [5,8,9]
Emotional eating and reduction of physical activity lead to obesity and metabolic syndrome, both risk factors has a pivotal role in cardiovascular risk
Summary
The novel Coronavirus, CoV-19/SARS-CoV-2 is causing a global pandemic with a high number of deaths [1,2]. Cardiovascular risk factors are strongly influence by quarantine, an effective measure that minimizes the impact of infectious disease outbreaks [3]. Both acute and sub-acute stress activates the adrenergic system and increase inflammatory response and endothelial dysfunction leading to an increase in atherosclerotic plaques [5,8,9].
