Abstract

The current pandemic caused by the new coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) has been the focus of worldwide 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 on atypical forms of presentation, associated risk factors and drugs tested to reduce morbidity and mortality saturate the media. The cardiological community is actively involved, since cardiovascular manifestations are frequent and varied, and an increased risk of poor outcome has been observed in individuals with previous cardiovascular disease. The aim of the review is to provide the available evidence on this topic, with the caveat that the information is dynamic.
