Abstract
The cardiovascular compromise of patients with COVID-19, especially in the subpopulation with cardiovascular risk factors, is associated with the severity of the disease and even higher mortality in some case series. The most clearly described pathophysiological mechanisms are direct myocardial injury and the process associated with systemic inflammation.
The cardiovascular manifestations are diverse and include myocardial injury, myocarditis, cardiomyopathies, heart failure, acute coronary syndromes, arrhythmias, thromboembolic events. Additionally, we must consider the adverse effects of medications used to treat viral infection.
