ABSTRACT
Resumen: La pandemia actual generada por el nuevo coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) ha constituido desde su aparición, el foco de preocupación sanitaria a nivel mundial. Su elevada transmisibilidad asociada a la ausencia de un tratamiento eficaz, implica un duro impacto en el área de investigación. Los reportes sobre formas de presentación atípicas, factores de riesgo asociados y fármacos ensayados para disminuir su morbimortalidad, saturan los medios de comunicación. La comunidad cardiológica se encuentra activamente presente, ya que las manifestaciones cardiovasculares son frecuentes y variadas, así como también se ha observado un aumento del riesgo de mala evolución en aquellos individuos con enfermedad cardiovascular previa. El objetivo de la revisión es aportar la evidencia disponible en este tópico, haciendo la salvedad del carácter dinámico de la información. Summary: The current pandemic caused by the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has been the focus of global health concern since its appearance. Its high transmissibility associated with the absence of an effective treatment implies a hard impact in the research area. Reports of atypical presentation forms, associated risk factors, and drugs tested to decrease morbidity and mortality saturate the media. The cardiology community is actively present since cardiovascular manifestations are frequent and varied, as well as an increased risk has been observed in those patients with previous cardiovascular disease. The objective of this review is to contribute the available evidence on this particular topic, making the caveat, of the dynamic nature of the information.
