ABSTRACT
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, studies emerged reporting the occurrence of cardiovascular complications in patients affected by SARS-CoV-2. Initial data were likely skewed by higher risk populations and those with severe disease. Recent, larger studies have corroborated this association and provide estimates for risk of cardiovascular complications. Patients affected by COVID-19 are at increased risk of myocardial infarction, myocarditis, venous thromboembolism, arrhythmias, and exacerbation of heart failure. Furthermore, a subset of patients who recover from the acute illness have persistent symptoms, a condition termed "long COVID", and management of these symptoms is challenging. Clinicians treating patients affected by COVID-19 should remain vigilant for cardiac complications during the acute illness, particularly in high-risk populations.
