Abstract

The article briefly summarizes data on the role of micro- and macrocirculatory disorders in the pathogenesis of COVID-19.

Focused attention on similarities of clinical and pathogenetic features of rheumatic diseases, COVID-19 and its complications.

The review analyzed and compared the data of the assessment of the main instrumental studies of the functional state of blood vessels in patients with rheumatic diseases in general and in patients with rheumatic diseases who suffered from COVID-19 (capillaroscopy and occlusion test).

A conclusion was made about the presence of endothelial dysfunction in rheumatic diseases and its features in patients with rheumatic diseases after transmission of COVID-19.

This leads to the opinion about the expediency of timely detection of secondary disorders of the functional state of blood vessels in patients with rheumatic diseases who are convalescents of COVID-19, and justifies the use of an occlusion test for this purpose.

No conflict of interests was declared by the authors.
