Abstract

COVID-19 is a disease that affects the lungs and the endothelial system, which can lead to functional disorders of all internal organs. The purpose of this article is to share the authors' opinion on the impact on convalescents of COVID-19 and in the current Cuban society of the findings by eco-doppler in the peripheral arterial sectors. In the opinion of the authors, they could begin the solution of a latent health problem in these patients. Despite all the questions and challenges that this problem entails and the inevitable limitations that its clarification may have at the current moments, it is an unlikely need to undertake studies in this line. They will contribute to the understanding of the role of endothelial damage produced by SARS-CoV-2, and the improvement of medical practice based on the search for effective therapeutic alternatives in the relief of the symptomatology of these patients. Special attention must be paid to the theoretical, methodological and research approach to this new knowledge in the field of health sciences because it would have an important impact on the economic, social, medical, personal, family and health services for health services. Therefore, the incorporation of this diagnostic modality to the COVID-19 Attention Protocol is a feasible action for its wide accessibility and at the same time high impact on the health of this group of patients and in the consequent social scientific development.
