    Snippet: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has rapidly spread around the world and has led to a substantial morbidity and mortality in many countries. Although Corona Virus Disease 19 (COVID-19) is primarily a respiratory tract infection, there is growing evidence that other organs including the cardiovascular system are affected by COVID-19.

Although Corona Virus Disease 19 (COVID-19) is primarily a respiratory tract infection, there is growing evidence that other organs including the cardiovascular system are affected by COVID-19.
