COVID-19 with Cardiovascular Disease: Can It Help Predict Prognosis?

Heart Surg Forum. 2020 Nov 30;23(6):E895-E896. doi: 10.1532/hsf.3301.

Abstract

Two recent articles both found that cardiovascular disease was the major comorbidity in patients with COVID-19. Inflammation of the cardiovascular system and hypoxemia in patients with COVID-19 are the important causes of cardiovascular system dysfunction. Through detailed analyses of the cardiovascular system, clinicians may identify specific patterns of cardiovascular abnormalities. If such a model can been established, the prognosis of COVID-19 patients with cardiovascular disease may be predicted.
