Abstract
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.
