RESUMEN
The literature review showed the main scenarios of SARS-CoV-2-associated myocardial injury. On the basis of the analysis of literature it can be concluded that myocardial lesion is multi-factor at COVID-19. Possible scenarios include direct damage to myocardium, development of acute systemic inflammatory response and cytokine storm, effects of acute respiratory distress syndrome, coagulopathy and electrolyte imbalance associated with COVID-19, as well as the toxic effects of drugs used in SARS-CoV-2 treatment schemes. At the same time, a rather vague concept - <<acute damage of myocardium>> - is often used to describe symptoms and laboratory changes in literature. Given the multifactor of myocardial lesions in COVID-19, the clinician often faces a difficult situation - the need for a nosological interpretation of the clinical status of the patient. Knowledge and correct verification of the leading pathogenetic variant of a heart injury can simplify this task, narrow the scope of diagnostic monitoring and organize a personalized approach to therapy.Copyright © 2022 Sinergia Press.
