Abstract

Viral infections have been linked to a variety of cardiac pathology, which may include acute myocarditis, dilated cardiomyopathy, heart failure, cardiogenic shock, pericarditis, acute coronary syndromes, and arrhythmias. We performed a systematic review of literature focusing on the cardiovascular effects of various viral infections, as well as providing an update on the current understanding of the pathophysiology of Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). Cardiac manifestations of viral illnesses are usually self-limiting, have variable clinical presentations, and require sufficient clinical suspicion for diagnosis and optimal management.
