Mechanisms of Myocardial Injury in COVID-19

Abstract

Almost 18 months following its first report, coronavirus disease 2019 or COVID-19 continues to cause fatalities worldwide and disrupt all aspects of daily life. Our knowledge of this condition, the mechanisms of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and its systemic consequences have improved through an unprecedented global effort from the diagnostic, medical, and public health research community. As a consequence, effective treatments and vaccines have been developed, tested, and implemented within record timeframes to mitigate some of the critical effects of the COVID-19 illness.
