Key result
COVID-19 is linked to varied CV manifestations and higher mortality in patients with pre-existing cardiovascular disease.
Why the study?
COVID-19 presents with varied cardiovascular manifestations and worsens prognosis in patients with myocardial injury or pre-existing cardiovascular diseases, necessitating summarized guidance on management and precautions.
Summarizes the cardiovascular manifestations of COVID-19 and highlights the worse prognosis for patients with pre-existing cardiovascular diseases or myocardial injury.
Myocardial injury or pre-existing CVD signals higher COVID-19 mortality risk; leaves open whether targeted strategies improve outcomes in Level 5 data.
Rampantly spreading around the globe and taking thousands of lives each day, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) may present with varied cardiovascular manifestations. Those with evidence of myocardial injury have a worse prognosis too. Patients with pre-existing cardiovascular diseases or risk factors are at greater risk of adverse outcomes and mortality by this infection. Being highly contagious, measures to prevent cross-infection are of paramount importance. In this article, the authors summarize the various cardiovascular manifestations of COVID-19 and precautions needed while handling them and the long-term consequences of COVID-19 infection.
