AB - A striking feature of severe forms of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the current pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is severe endothelial injury with micro- and macrothrombotic disease in the lung and other organs, including the heart. This has led to speculation that viral infection may damage the endothelium through 2 mechanisms: indirectly, via neighborhood effects, circulating mediators, and immune mechanisms or directly by viral infection of endothelial cells (ECs).
