Cardiac Dysautonomia Secondary to SARS-CoV-2 Infections and COVID-19 Vaccines

Kirk Milhoan 50 min 0.75 Credit

Dysautonomia has become one of the more common and more baffling presentations clinicians see after COVID infection or vaccination. Dr. Kirk Milhoan, a pediatric cardiologist, works through the pathophysiology behind these cardiac autonomic disorders in Long Covid and Post-Vaccine Syndrome, lays out the diagnostic criteria that separate one subtype from another, and matches supportive and pharmacologic treatments to specific symptom patterns. It puts a mechanism and a treatment plan behind a condition many patients have struggled to get taken seriously.

Learning objectives

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

  1. Understand the pathophysiology of Long Covid and Post-Vaccine Syndrome in causing dysautonomias.
  2. Know the diagnostic criteria of each of the subtypes.
  3. Know supportive treatment options for different symptomatologies.
  4. Understand the underlying mechanisms of the pharmacological therapy.
