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.
