Abstract

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has placed a significant strain on healthcare providers. As the number of patients continue to surge, healthcare workers are now forced to find different approaches to practicing medicine that may affect patient care. In addition, COVID-19 has many cardiovascular complications that affect the clinical course of patients. In this article, we summarize the cardiovascular impact of COVID-19 and some of the challenges that patients and the healthcare system will face during this pandemic.
