There are many well-known and identified risk factors for its development. In recent times, there has been growing concern about the potential impact of COVID-19 on the cardiovascular system and its relation to arterial hypertension. Various theories have been developed that suggest a connection between COVID-19 and elevated blood pressure. However, the precise link between SARS-CoV-2 infection and the long-term risk of developing hypertension remains insufficiently explored. Therefore, the primary objective of our study was to investigate the influence of COVID-19 infection on blood pressure elevation and the subsequent risk of developing arterial hypertension over an extended period. To accomplish this, we conducted a thorough search review of relevant papers in the PubMed and SCOPUS databases up to 3 September 2023. Our analysis encompassed a total of 30 eligible articles. Out of the 30 papers we reviewed, 19 of them provided substantial evidence showing a heightened risk of developing arterial hypertension following COVID-19 infection. Eight of the studies showed that blood pressure values increased after the infection, while three of the qualified studies did not report any notable impact of COVID-19 on blood pressure levels. The precise mechanism behind the development of hypertension after COVID-19 remains unclear, but it is suggested that endothelial injury and dysfunction of the renin\u2013angiotensin\u2013aldosterone system may be contributory. Additionally, changes in blood pressure following COVID-19 infection could be linked to lifestyle alterations that often occur alongside the illness. Our findings emphasize the pressing requirement for thorough research into the relationship between COVID-19 and hypertension. These insights are essential for the development of effective prevention and management approaches for individuals who have experienced COVID-19 infection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms25031837","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,5]],"date-time":"2024-02-05T05:22:44Z","timestamp":1707110564000},"page":"1837","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Elevated Arterial Blood Pressure as a Delayed Complication Following COVID-19\u2014A Narrative Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9753-6252","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emilia","family":"Bielecka","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine and Hypertension, Medical University of Bialystok, 15-540 Bialystok, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Piotr","family":"Sielatycki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine and Hypertension, Medical University of Bialystok, 15-540 Bialystok, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paulina","family":"Pietraszko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine and Hypertension, Medical University of Bialystok, 15-540 Bialystok, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Agnieszka","family":"Zapora-Kurel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine and Hypertension, Medical University of Bialystok, 15-540 Bialystok, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0121-3254","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Edyta","family":"Zbroch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine and Hypertension, Medical University of Bialystok, 15-540 Bialystok, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"21","DOI":"10.1016\/j.numecd.2021.09.007","article-title":"Arterial hypertension\u2014Clinical trials update 2021","volume":"32","author":"Mahfoud","year":"2022","journal-title":"Nutr.
