The rapid increment in positive cases makes the anticipation and control of COVID-19 incredibly genuine. Despite the fact that the clinical signs of COVID-19 are commanded by respiratory symptoms, a few patients have serious cardiovascular risk. However, a few patients with acute cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) may have an expanded risk of death. Consequently, understanding the harm brought about by SARS-CoV-2 to the cardiovascular framework and the hidden systems is of the best significance, with the goal that treatment of these patients can be opportune and compelling and mortality decreased. The pressure of basic ailment and aggravation may join in destabilizing previous cardiovascular disease. Vascular endothelial cell brokenness, irritation related myocardial discouragement, stress cardiomyopathy, direct popular contamination of the heart and its vessels, or the host reaction may cause or exacerbate cardiovascular breakdown, request related ischemia, and arrhythmias.

Cardiology is brought in probably the most serious COVID cases to help with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) treatment when patients become incredibly hypoxic or their lungs are done working. Different kinds of hemodynamic help, including Impella and intra-aortic ballon pumps (IABP), additionally have been utilized to help COVID patients in cariogenic stun, in instances of left or right COVID-prompted cardiovascular breakdown or multi-organ disappointment.

However, COVID-19 patients found with cardiovascular diseases are treated using angiotensin receptor blockers and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE).

Studies say that there is no significance evidence to say that COVID-19 is relation with cardiovascular diseases but patients should not discontinue the medication in COVID-19 cases.
