Prognostic value of sST2 and vWF determination in blood serum in patients with arterial hypertension and covid-19
Background. The development of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) occurs against the background of a systemic inflammatory response and can cause an adverse effect on the cardiovascular system. For better diagnosis of disease prognosis, and treatment, determination of sST2 and vWF is import- ant. These markers play an important role in the genesis of thrombosis in the pathophysiology of COVID- 19. Aim of the study. To analyze the prognostic value of sST2 and vWF levels in blood serum of patients with arterial hypertension (AH) and COVID-19.
