Cardiovascular Considerations in COVID19: A Comprehensive Review

Area of Science:

• Cardiology
• Infectious Diseases
• Public Health

Background:

• The rapid global spread of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has raised significant public health concerns.
• Underlying cardiovascular diseases are associated with increased mortality rates in COVID-19 patients.
• A comprehensive understanding of cardiovascular complications in COVID-19 is essential for effective patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

• To review and synthesize current knowledge on cardiovascular complications associated with COVID-19 infection.
• To explore the various manifestations and clinical presentations of cardiac involvement in COVID-19.
• To discuss the management strategies for cardiovascular disorders in the context of COVID-19.

Main Methods:

• A comprehensive literature review was conducted.
• Relevant studies and clinical data on COVID-19 and cardiovascular complications were evaluated.
• Information was synthesized to provide an overview of the topic.

Main Results:

• COVID-19 infection can lead to a range of cardiovascular complications.
• These complications can include myocarditis, arrhythmias, and thromboembolic events.
• The presence of pre-existing cardiovascular disease exacerbates COVID-19 severity and prognosis.

Conclusions:

• Cardiovascular complications are a significant concern in COVID-19 patients.
• Early recognition and management of cardiac issues are vital for improving patient outcomes.
• Further research is needed to fully elucidate the complex interplay between COVID-19 and cardiovascular health.
