Abstract
The struggle against COVID-19 continues, but many long-term effects of COVID-19 are still under research. SARS-CoV-2 replicates in the heart and involves the protein angiotensin-converting enzyme. It silently causes myocardial inflammation and an increase in troponin concentration without any clinical signs nor symptoms of myocardial dysfunction. Asymptomatic patients or health care workers (HCWs) may also suffer from cardiovascular complications in the long term.
