Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Long COVID syndrome affects some COVID-19 survivors. The most frequently reported symptoms are fatigue and dyspnoea that last for months after acute COVID-19, alongside other persistent symptoms. Currently, there is limited information in the literature discussing the associated risk factors, their physiopathology, and the management of long COVID; therefore, more scientific evidence is required for the development of effective treatments and rehabilitation protocols for long COVID. The goal of this Special Issue is to provide an overview of recent advances in the field of long COVID, and to discuss the clinical challenges related to physiopathology, risk factors, diagnostic management, cost-effective approaches to interventions, the efficacy of treatments, innovative clinical perspectives, and the development of new rehabilitation protocols. Therefore, researchers in the field of long COVID are encouraged to submit an original article or review to this Special Issue (case reports and short reviews are not accepted).
Prof. Dr. Cleofas Rodriguez-Blanco
Guest Editor
