Abstract: An acute respiratory syndrome caused by SARS-CoV2 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Current data in the world and in Brazil show that approximately 40% of patients who died have some type of cardiac comorbidity. There are also robust reports showing an increase in IL-6 / IL-1B / TNF-alpha and the presence of lymphopenia in patients with COVID-19. Our team and others have shown that increased cytokines are the link between arrhythmias/ Left ventricular dysfunction and the immune system i… Show more

“…4,5 Recent evidence shows that direct myocardial injury by the virus is less relevant than indirect lesions from systemic inflammation and hypercoagulability in these patients. 6,7 Despite understanding these pathogenic mechanisms, the prevalence of myocardial involvement in COVID-19 remains debatable. Diagnosis of myocardial injury based exclusively on the elevation of serum biomarkers, such as troponin, may overestimate the number of cases.…”
