Characterization of Cardiovascular Diseases and Risk Factors in Patients With Suspected SARS-CoV2/Covid-19 Infection

The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infects host-cells via ACE2-receptors, which leads to pneumonia (COVID-19) but also can lead to myocarditis (acute myocardial injury) and chronic damage to the cardiovascular system. Therefore, cardiovascular protection may be necessary when treating patients with COVID-19 infection. This may especially be necessary in patients with cardiovascular diseases, risk factors, and co-medication.
