Key result
COVID-19 infection is associated with a significant cardiovascular burden, including myocarditis, arrhythmias, heart failure, Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, myocardial ischemia, and cardiogenic shock.
Why the study?
Cardiovascular complications have increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the mechanism of heart injury in COVID-19 is not yet clear.
COVID-19 infection is associated with a wide range of cardiovascular manifestations, necessitating close monitoring and targeted management for both acute and long-term cardiac health issues.
Supports vigilant cardiac monitoring post-COVID-19; leaves open optimal long-term strategies and interventions.
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a serious illness caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), that continues to grow globally. Incidence of cardiovascular complications has increased during the COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease 2019) pandemic, in regards of population- wide and in patients diagnosed with the disease. Various cardiovascular manifestations have been linked to the viral insult, including among others acute coronary syndromes, myocarditis, acute heart failure, cardiac injury, arrhythmias spontaneous coronary artery dissection, and stress induced cardiomyopathy. Although, the mechanism of heart injury in COVID-19 is not clear yet, several hypothesis and theories to various cardiac manifestation have been described. We performed a narrative review for the current published literature on the different cardiovascular manifestation related to COVID-19 infection.
