Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The novel SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the causative agent of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), has caused an unprecedented pandemic worldwide. The cardiovascular system is one of the major systems affected by the viral infection. Indeed, infected patients may develop several cardiovascular complications which are associated with poor outcomes. Similarly, the presence of pre-existing cardiac disease increases mortality in COVID-19 patients.
In this Special Issue, entitled “COVID-19 and Cardiac Injury”, we aim to present research and theoretical papers addressing all these questions and many other related to the interaction between COVID-19 infection and cardiac injuries. Thus, we invite colleagues working and/or involved in any field related to COVID-19 and cardiac disease to submit their work for publication in this Special Issue. We believe that this Special Issue will not only be very timely but also scientifically innovative and exciting.
