Cardiovascular Manifestations of COVID-19

Abstract

Although novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) mainly affects lung, it also affects the cardiovascular system. Cardiac manifestations of COVID-19 include myocardial injury, myocarditis, heart failure, acute coronary syndrome, thromboembolism, and arrhythmias. Cardiovascular involvement in COVID-19 is related to poor prognosis and increased mortality. Therefore, the recognition of cardiac complications and prompt treatment of cardiac injury in patients with suspected COVID-19 is essential. In this review article, we discuss the cardiovascular manifestations of COVID-19 and their related imaging findings.
