Abstract
Despite the fact that the general clinical manifestations of COVID-19 are well known, there remain problems associated with the impact of COVID-19 on human health, in addition to its effects on the respiratory system. Patients with COVID-19 and concomitant cardiovascular diseases are more likely to be hospitalized and to pass treatment in the intensive care units and to have worse prognoses. The article discusses the problems arising from the effect of type 2 coronavirus acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) on the cardiovascular system, starting with the mechanisms associated with angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors, as well as discusses cases of major pathological changes in the heart and blood vessels that are detected in these patients. In addition to the known risk factors for severe COVID-19: cardiovascular diseases, diabetes mellitus, chronic lung diseases and old age, even young patients without a history of risk factors may develop myocardial damage. We present a description of a clinical case of acute myocardial infarction against the background of a new coronavirus infection COVID-19 in a patient aged 28 years with a diagnosis of coronary heart disease.
