Abstract in brief

  • SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19, infects cells by attaching to ACE2 receptors, mainly affecting the lungs but also impacting the heart.
  • COVID-19 can lead to acute myocardial injury and long-term damage to the cardiovascular system, increasing health risks.
  • It is important to prioritize cardiovascular care and protection when treating patients with COVID-19 to prevent further heart-related complications.]
