La disautonomia es un síntoma nuclear en el long covid

Researchers at University of Minnesota and Baylor University recently published a new study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC) finding that Long COVID patients experience autonomic dysfunction similar to people with pure autonomic failure, a severe neurodegenerative type of dysautonomia typically seen in older adults. Read the abstract at: https://www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacc.2025.09.1608

This is quite different from another article that recently published in JACC, from Harvard/Mass General and UT Southwestern researchers, which claimed there was little to no autonomic dysfunction in Long COVID patients: https://www.jacc.org/doi/abs/10.1016/j.jacc.2025.04.038

We've been monitoring research from around the world that documents the rate of autonomic dysfunction in Long COVID, and while there are some differences amongst centers, most studies are finding POTS in about 30% of Long COVID patients, and other manifestations of dysautonomia in another 40% of Long COVID patients - for a total of about 70% of Long COVID patients having some form of dysautonomia.

It's important for people with Long COVID to know if they have dysautonomia contributing to their symptoms, because there are a wide range of treatments available that can help mitigate symptoms caused by autonomic dysfunction. Dysautonomia can cause symptoms like lightheadedness, dizziness, fainting, profound fatigue, cognitive impairment, headaches, swallowing problems and other GI dysmotiity, bladder dysfunction, palpitations, chest pain, shortness of breath, an internal shaking/tremulous feeling, sleep difficulties, feeling "wired but tired," sweating abnormalities, pupil dysfunction, dry eyes/mouth/skin, and more. The autonomic nervous system also regulates immune function, coagulation, connective tissue synthesis and repair, hormones, glucose metabolism, and blood volume, amongst other systems.

We continue to meet patients who are being told "there's nothing we can do for Long COVID." If your doctor has said that to you... find a better doctor! Our regional support groups are a great place to find doctor recommendations from other local patients: dysautonomiainternational.org/support

Do you know what this molecule is?

Acetylcholine is a chemical used to transmit messages between nerve cells.

Henry Dale and his colleagues carried out a series of experiments that revealed how the chemical works. Among their many findings they showed that acetylcholine acts on many tissues and organs other than the heart, that it is released from nerve endings, and that it is almost immediately destroyed by another chemical once it has carried out its task.

On this day in 1914 Dale published a paper on the action of the acetylcholine. In 1936 Dale received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his work illuminating its role in our nervous system: https://bit.ly/3grbSHZ

Los filamentos de cadena ligera pueden ser un buen biomarcador de daño axonal

A 𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 is an intermediate filament with three isoforms (light, medium, and heavy) that is expressed specifically in neurons. Neurofilaments form heteropolymers and are crucial constituents of the cytoskeleton, particularly in axons. During neuronal or axonal breakdown, neurofilaments are released extracellularly and can be measured in blood or cerebrospinal fluid as a biomarker of neurodegeneration.

Cuidado con el calor en pacientes con dissutonomia especialmente si no sudan

Un extenso estudio en Taiwán revela que la exposición prolongada a olas de calor acelera el envejecimiento biológico de forma comparable al consumo de alcohol o al tabaquismo, con implicaciones inquietantes para la salud global.
