Since early 2020, the world has been facing a pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2. Although this positive single-stranded RNA virus primarily causes pulmonary infection and failure, it has been associated with multiple cardiovascular diseases including troponin elevation, myocarditis, and cardiac arrhythmias. Cardiac patients are susceptible to developing more severe infection from SARS-COV-2, making management complicated. In this review we discuss the cardiac manifestations of COVID-19 infections as well as considerations for the management of primary cardiac pathologies during this pandemic.
自2020年初以来，世界一直面临由新型冠状病毒SARS-CoV-2引发的大流行。尽管这种正链单链RNA病毒主要导致肺部感染和功能衰竭，但它还与多种心血管疾病有关，包括肌钙蛋白升高、心肌炎和心律失常。心脏病患者更容易因感染SARS-CoV-2而病情加重，这使得治疗变得复杂。在这篇综述中，我们讨论了COVID-19感染的心脏表现以及在此次大流行期间对原发性心脏疾病的治疗考量。
