  • Abstract

    The Information on the 2019 coronavirus illness (COVID-19) in Egypt's severe cerebrovascular consequences is scant. In cases of acute cerebrovascular disease (CVD), this study aimed to examine the radiological and clinical characteristics of patients with and without COVID-19. Prospective research evaluated CVD patients with and without COVID-19 who were hospitalized at Qena University Hospital (QUH) before the global epidemic. Patients diagnosed with COVID-19 and able to be treated at either assist or Aswan University Hospitals (AAUH) for cardiovascular disease were compared. The data included patient demographics, medical history, risk factors, clinical presentation, comorbidities, and imaging results from CT and MRI scans of the chest and brain. In overall 439 individuals with COVID-19, 55 (12.5%) experienced acute CVD. Of these, 13 patients (2.9%) experienced hemorrhagic CVD, whereas 42 (9.6%) suffered an ischemic stroke. 180 of the 250 non-COVID-19 individuals suffered from ischemic stroke, and 70 from hemorrhagic stroke. Many COVID-19 patients had large vascular occlusions (LVO), which is a significant portion of individuals who had ischemic stroke symptoms (40 vs. 7.2%, P <0.001) and was considerably more reciprocal than in CVD patients who were not COVID-19. Comorbidities were noted in 44 instances (80% of the total). Sufferers of ischemic stroke who had COVID-19 were much more likely to have dangerous elements such as hypertension and Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) as well as concomitant conditions like hepatitis and kidney disease. Additionally, 6.5% of individuals with LVO had a hemorrhagic transition, and 23.5% had hemorrhagic CVD. In our research, individuals with COVID-19 often had severe CVD. The most typical LVO was. The most frequent risk factors, such as hypertension, IHD, and anemia, may make the clinical presentation worse. Patients with CVD often had comorbid conditions, but many also had high liver enzymes and creatinine levels that were partly brought on by the COVID-19 disease itself. The new findings start to describe the range of CVD linked to COVID-19 in patients from Upper Egypt.
