Abstract
Aim. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of bed angle on back pain, urinary retention and vascular complications after coronary angiography.
Background. To minimize the severity of low back pain and urine retention after angiography, modalities such as changing position, changing bed angle, and early out of bed have been used, but there is still controversy about the appropriate bed angle that reduces cardiovascular complications and at the same time provides patient comfort.
Method. This study was a randomized clinical trial conducted on 120 patients after angiography in cardiology and angiography wards of Shahid Sadoughi Hospital, Yazd, Iran, in 2018. A total of 120 patients who were candidates for angiography were randomly divided into control and experimental group. After angiography, for the control group, the bed angle was zero, and for the experimental group, the bed angle was set at 30 degrees, from entry to the ward for 4 hours. Data collection tools included demographic and clinical information questionnaire, numerical scale for measuring severity of pain, hematoma and hemorrhage recording form and urinary retention observation and recording form. Data analysis was performed in SPSS Version 20 using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Findings. The mean score of back pain in the experimental group, immediately and four hours after angiography was 0.166±0.767 and 0.216±55.0, respectively, which was lower than that of control group (0.233±0.615 and 0.433±0.927, respectively), but the difference was not statistically significant. Also, there was no statistically significant difference between groups in terms of urinary retention, immediately and 2 hours after angiography. There was no statistically significant difference between groups in terms of vascular complications (hematoma and hemorrhage).
Conclusion. The results of this study did not show any evidence that 30 degrees bed angle adjustment have any different effect on pain severity, urinary retention, and vascular complications of the zero degree bed angle. It is recommended that after angiography, the angle of the bed be set to zero or 30 degrees according to the patient's comfort and preference.

Abstract
Abstract
Aim. The aim of this study was to review the cardiovascular disorders and complications caused by COVID-19.
Background. Coronavirus (COVID-19) disease is a viral disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The virus was first discovered in Wuhan, China, and was declared a global pandemic due to its widespread prevalence. So far, about 500 million cases of and 6 million deaths from the disease have been reported worldwide. SARS-CoV-2 mainly causes respiratory problems, and fever, cough, shortness of breath, myalgia, fatigue and diarrhea are common symptoms of the disease. COVID-19 also causes cardiovascular disorders, which due to the importance of the impact of these disorders on the health of people in the community, in this article, studies and research conducted in this field were reviewed.
Method. The keywords “Covid-19”, “Coronavirus”, and “Cardiovascular complication” were searched out in databases, Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar. Out of 84 articles that were found the more relevant ones to the research topic were selected. After reviewing the studies thoroughly, 33 papers that were in line with the purpose of the study were selected and reviewed.
Findings. Studies and findings have shown that COVID-19 can cause cardiovascular complications such as cardiac arrhythmias, acute coronary syndrome, acute myocardial injury, myocarditis and heart failure.
Conclusion. Given the prevalence of COVID-19 and its high prevalence worldwide, it is important to be familiar with the cardiovascular disorders caused by the disease and how to treat and manage these disorders.
