Abstract

COVID-19 has become a global pandemic. Patients with pre-existing comorbidities such as hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are associated with greater severity and higher mortality. COVID-19 can cause cardiovascular complications, including myocardial injury, myocarditis, heart failure, acute coronary syndrome, and coagulation abnormalities. Possible pathophysiology and molecular pathways driving these disease processes are cytokine release syndrome, RAAS system dysregulation, plaque destabilization and coagulation disorders Myocarditis is one concern among persons who received mRNA-Based COVID-19 vaccines. There are several cardiovascular complications that are possibly caused by COVID-19 treatments, such as QT interval prolongation, arrhythmia, and hypotension. Due to increasingly recognized CVD damage in COVID-19, we need to understand about COVID-19 related to cardiovascular complications and treatment strategies.
