COVID-19 and the Cardiovascular System From Pathophysiology to Clinical Management

COVID-19 and the Cardiovascular System: From Pathophysiology to Clinical Management comprehensively covers COVID-19’s impact on the cardiovascular system. Coverage includes the pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, diagnostic approach, treatment options, and clinical outcomes of patients presenting with COVID-19 with cardiac involvement. In a concise but comprehensive manner, the book's content reviews the epidemiology, risk factors, pathophysiology of COVID-19, cardiovascular clinical manifestations, non-invasive and invasive diagnostic evaluation, therapeutic options, outcomes data, role of the COVID-19 vaccine, and long-term outcomes/management.

Dr. Case has written over ten first author manuscripts on original data evaluating the impact of the COVID-19 on the cardiovascular system. This includes clinical outcomes, therapeutic options, and the role of the COVID-19 vaccine on outcomes. He has also written several editorials and review papers on the topic. His work has been presented at multiple national cardiology conference. His healthcare center (MedStar), has been a contributing site to the North American COVID-19 Myocardial infarction Registry, which is an national, multi-site registry evaluating patients with COVID-19 presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction. The registry has already published multiple manuscripts with plans to continue this work.
