The Potential Mechanism of COVID-19 Associated Cardiovascular Injury and its Impact on Patients With Cancer and Cardiovascular Disease This figure demonstrates that patients with cancer, cardiovascular disease, and certain cardiovascular risk factors are at increased risk of acquiring COVID-19 and for developing adverse outcomes. The graphs in the figure are based on data from 3 studies (1, 2, 3).
