Patients with COVID-19 are likely to experience symptoms that can be attributed to the virus affecting the cardiovascular system. Common complications to the system include arrhythmia, cardiac injury, fulminant myocarditis, heart failure, pulmonary embolism, and disseminated intravascular coagulation. Severe cases of COVID-19 may lead to lasting cardiac damage and those with pre-existing cardiac issues are likely to have worse prognoses.
