In fact, there seems to be a bidirectional relation between cardiovascular disease and viral infection, as patients with prior cardiac comorbidities are at a higher risk of adverse events during infection, and COVID-19 infection seems to exponentiate the risk of acute and long-term cardiac events. In this review, the authors will discuss the acute and long-term impact of COVID-19 infection in arterial hypertension, heart failure, angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, and atrial fibrillation.engAngina pectorisArterial hypertensionCardiovascular diseasesCOVID-19Heart failureMyocardial infarctionjournal article10.4103/hm.HM-D-23-000402468-6484
