What is it about?

Since the initial reports of Long COVID symptoms, numerous pathophysiological mechanisms have been proposed to explain them; nevertheless, no consensus has been reached. This report provides a brief overview of these processes, focusing primarily on quantitative data, recently proposed mechanisms, and advances in microcirculation, with a special emphasis on the tissue blood supply reduction (TBSR or SR in short) mechanism.

Why is it important?

The SR pathophysiological mechanism is assessed based on the total incidence rate of the Long COVID symptoms that can be directly attributed to this mechanism. The proposed SR mechanism can account for seven principal Long COVID symptoms with a total normalized incidence of 76%.
