Coronavirus-2019 disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease which initial symptoms, in most cases, manifest with respiratory tract compromise. The virus that causes said disease is called severe acute respiratory syndrome by coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV 2), although the most frequent serious manifestation of the infection appears to be pneumonia, various implications have been documented from the cardiovascular point of view. People who have this infection and a pre-existing cardiovascular disease have an increased risk of severe symptoms and mortality. There are direct or indirect associations of the infection with myocardial injury, arrhythmias, venous thromboembolic disease and myocarditis. Investigational treatments may have adverse effects on the heart’s electrical system. In addition, some medications of chronic use (such as renin angiotensin aldosterone system inhibitors), have been given a controversial role in the virulence of the organism. The high demand in health care required by patients infected with SARS-CoV 2 can compromise the care of cardiovascular patients without said infection, in addition to leaving healthcare personal at risk of exposure. Therefore, a review is presented on the most striking aspects where these two conditions interact.
