In addition to the typical respiratory symptoms, COVID-19 patients present with clinical manifestations of cardiovascular system damage, and they are at higher risk of intensive care or mortality. The mechanism of COVID-19's impact on the cardiovascular system is still unclear, therefore we need to pay close attention to it. Based on the existing research, this paper focused on the concurrent characteristics of the cardiovascular system diseases, summarized the possible mechanisms of cardiovascular system damage, including the coronavirus invaders directly into cardiomyocytes and its conduction system, with complications or accompanying conditions such as cytokine storm, imbalance of oxygen supply and demand, drug influence, stress and other damage to cardiovascular system. Meanwhile, current clinical manifestations and treatment methods of COVID-19 were summarized.
