Key result
COVID-19 infection can cause severe cardiovascular complications, including cardiac tamponade requiring surgery, which may increase patient mortality and morbidity.
Why the study?
COVID-19 is a novel pandemic that affects the cardiovascular system through various mechanisms, with cardiac complications requiring attention.
COVID-19 can be associated with cardiac tamponade, a complication that requires special attention and may increase mortality and morbidity.
Alerts clinicians to tamponade risk in COVID-19; hypothesis-generating, requiring prospective studies before practice change.
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a novel pandemic that affects the cardiovascular system by various mechanisms. We report two cases of cardiac tamponade in patients with COVID-19, who underwent surgery and had different outcomes. Cardiac complications can occur in patients with COVID-19 that need special attention and may increase mortality and morbidity.
