In December 2019, several cases of pneumonia were reported, whose etiological agent would be named SARS-CoV-2 causing coronavirus disease (COVID-19) Even though the main symptomatic characteristic is respiratory, affectations have been reported in other systems, cardiovascular being one of the main ones Cardiovascular disorders, which are less common, and conditioned by a pathophysiological process of systemic inflammation, are mainly represented by acute myocardial damage, followed by arrhythmias, with no specified classification by the authors Cardiogenic shock, heart failure, venous or systemic thromboembolism, and acute coronary syndrome have also been described;all this in male sex predominant populations, in older ages, and with poor prognosis An understanding of cardiological manifestations is necessary, through research that allows us to also know their relationship with other risk factors and the middle and long-term repercussions, in order to not only have the appropriate clinical suspicion in these patients but offering also timely and comprehensive care and management
