Conclusions
The impact of the interaction between the brain and the heart cannot be
ignored. Considering that the human body is a complex integrated system,
the treatment of COVID-19 patients with neurological or psychiatric
symptoms requires taking into account the risk of heart damage. Although
the specific mechanism by which COVID-19 affects the brain and the heart
remains unknown, its combined effects on both organs may aggravate the
condition of COVID-19 patients. Therefore, it is critical to monitor
cardiac function in COVID-19 patients developing neurological and mental
disorders. It is imperative that neurologists, psychologists, and
cardiologists work together on patient care. A collaborative effort can
delay further development of the disease, improve the recovery rate, and
reduce mortality.
