ABSTRACT
Thrombosis has long been reported as a potentially deadly complication of respiratory viral infections and has recently received much attention during the global coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. Increased risk of myocardial infarction has been reported during active infections with respiratory viruses, including influenza and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, which persists even after the virus has cleared. These clinical observations suggest an ongoing interaction between these respiratory viruses with the host's coagulation and immune systems that is initiated at the time of infection but may continue long after the virus has been cleared. In this review, we discuss the epidemiology of viral-associated myocardial infarction, highlight recent clinical studies supporting a causal connection, and detail how the virus' interaction with the host's coagulation and immune systems can potentially mediate arterial thrombosis.
