Cardiovascular Disease Risk and Outcomes in Patients Infected With SARS-CoV-2

Cardiovascular involvement is one of the end-organ complications commonly reported in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). It has also been postulated to be an independent risk factor for increased mortality in COVID-19-infected patients. With such a significant effect of COVID-19 on the cardiovascu...

Sumario:Cardiovascular involvement is one of the end-organ complications commonly reported in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). It has also been postulated to be an independent risk factor for increased mortality in COVID-19-infected patients. With such a significant effect of COVID-19 on the cardiovascular system and vice versa, it is pivotal for physicians to observe this association closely for improving management and understanding prognosis in these patients. Here, we present three patients and describe their baseline cardiac risk factors, the cardiac complications they developed in association with COVID-19 infection, and their varying outcomes.
