Abstract

|
|
Worldwide, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spread rapidly after it was initially reported in Wuhan, China, in late December 2019. COVID-19 exponentially increased morbidity and mortality as it quickly became a global pandemic affecting more than 200 countries/regions. Studies found that the presence of underlying cardiovascular disease, including hypertension in patients with COVID-19, is associated with high mortality. However, several medications used for the treatment of COVID-19 were found to have uncertain safety and efficacy. The aim of this report was to briefly summarize the relationship between COVID-19 and cardiovascular disease and to recommend methods of maintaining good health during the COVID-19 period.
