Case reports highlight cardiovascular involvement in COVID-19 patients, suggesting critical implications for care.
Background. Cardiovascular diseases are common in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and carry the risk of developing a severe clinical presentation varies from a syndrome similar to acute coronary syndrome and acute fulminant myocarditis to cardiogenic shock. Case reports. This paper presents a patient with a history of cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases admitted to the hospital with COVID-19 and LV dysfunction. Our main findings are that cardiac involvement can occur with COVID-19 with signs of the respiratory tract and symptoms of infection. We diagnosed COVID-19, which triggered the emergency on our department. We have never experienced anything like this before. Conclusion. Myocardial injury has a significant association with fatal outcomes of COVID-19, while the prognosis of patients with underlying CVD but without myocardial injury appears relatively favorable.

Karamarković et al. (2020) conducted a case report in COVID-19 with cardiovascular involvement (n=1). COVID-19 infection was evaluated. Cardiac involvement and left ventricular dysfunction can occur as an early presentation of COVID-19 even without typical symptoms of viral infection.
