Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has far-reaching impacts on human health. First identified as a disease of the respiratory system, COVID-19 also causes gastrointestinal, renal, neurological, and/or cardiovascular symptoms. This article elucidates biological relationships between COVID19 and the cardiovascular system. It postulates molecular and physiological mechanisms behind COVID-19–related cardiovascular ailments and examines intersections among the cardiovascular system, SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19, and certain medications. New scientific information on COVID-19 and the cardiovascular system accumulates weekly. In recognition of such rapidity, this paper offers a framework in which the reader will be able to place the growing and evolving field of knowledge.
