Introduction: The COVID-19 outbreak identified in Wuhan, Hubei province, China, was characterized by acute infectious pneumonia (BAO et al., 2020). Reports of people with post-COVID-19 sequelae, including cardiovascular sequelae, are frequent, but the real mechanisms involved are not yet known. General objective: To analyze the cardiovascular sequelae that have emerged in the post-COVID-19 period, in addition to identifying and describing the main challenges faced by nursing in caring for these patients. Method: This study consists of an integrative literature review (ILR), a systematic search was carried out in the PUBMED databases. Fifteen articles from the years 2020 to 2024 were used, available in full in Portuguese and English. Results: According to the research carried out, the cardiovascular complications associated with COVID-19 can be classified into two main mechanisms: direct lesions, such as inflammation resulting from pericarditis, and secondary complications, such as cardiac overload resulting from cardiac stress, which interferes with the functioning of the heart (Santos et al., 2021). Zubair and Irfan (2020) highlight Virchow's triad, which includes altered blood flow, hypercoagulability and vascular damage, as factors involved in thromboembolism. According to (Inglis SC et al. 2020) professionais nurses who care for patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) play an essential role in this context, especially by reducing anxiety about possible treatments for COVID-19 and setting realistic expectations. Conclusion: The studies show that COVID-19 has a complex and multifaceted impact on the cardiovascular system, ranging from mild manifestations to serious complications. In this scenario, the role of nurses is fundamental and challenging. Continuous and specialized training is essential to identify and manage these complications early.
