Ann Cardiol Angeiol (Paris). 2021 Apr;70(2):106-115. doi: 10.1016/j.ancard.2020.11.004. Epub 2020 Nov 23.ABSTRACTThe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has become a worldwide public health concern. Cardiovascular complications are relatively frequent, reaching 20% of COVID-19 patients and 43% of COVID-19 patients admitted in Intensive Care Unit. Cardiac injury mechanisms are multiple, including hyperinflammation, pro-coagulant and pro-thrombotic states, sepsis related cardiomyopathy, hypoxia in relation with lung severity, hemodynamic instability, cytokine storm, critically illness, direct myocardial insult by acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), and stress cardiomyopathy. The authors report a narrative review about cardio-vascular complications and predictive factors of mortality in patients infected with COVID-19.PMID:33642045 | PMC:PMC7682417 | DOI:10.1016/j.ancard.2020.11.004
