THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE BRAIN STROKE AND COVID-19: A NARRATIVE REVIEW
Objetivo: Revisar a literatura acerca das teorias que buscam explicar a possÃvel relação entre a COVID-19 e o AVC. Método: Realizou-se busca na literatura cientÃfica nas seguintes bases de dados: SciELO, Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (BVS), Pubmed e Google Sholar. Os descritores utilizados na pesquisa foram: COVID-19, Stroke, Interrelation e Prognosis. Resultados: Os achados desta pesquisa incluem a relação da COVID-19 com os seus fatores de risco, a ligação do vÃrus Sars-Cov-2 com a Enzima Conversora de Angiotensina (ECA), e ainda, as respostas inflamatórias desencadeadas pelo vÃrus em sua clara relação com o desencadeamento do AVC. Conclusão: É evidente a relação entre a presença do COVID-19 no organismo humano e a maior predisposição para se desenvolver o AVC, no entanto, novos estudos são necessários para que seja possÃvel aprofundar o conhecimento neste tema, bem como consolidar as teorias envolvendo seu mecanismo.Objective: To review the literature on the theories that seek to explain the possible relationship between COVID-19 and stroke.

Results: The findings of this research include the relationship between COVID-19 and its risk factors, the connection of the Sars-Cov-2 virus with the Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE), and also, the inflammatory responses triggered by the virus in its clear relationship with the onset of stroke. Conclusion: The relationship between the presence of COVID-19 in the human organism and a greater predisposition to develop stroke is evident, however, further studies are necessary to be able to deepen the knowledge on this topic, as well as to consolidate the theories involving its mechanism
