Popis: A review of the literature data on the epidemiological and clinical aspects of cardiovascular diseases in the new coronavirus infection is presented. Summarizing the results of studies by many authors, we state that the tropism of the new coronavirus infection to the cardiovascular system is manifested through ACE2 receptors, immune, cytokine inflammation, increased coagulation activity. These pathophysiological characteristics are especially manifested in concomitant cardiovascular pathology, leading to decompensation of the existing pathology and often death. Thus, cardiovascular disease is a dangerous risk factor for the development of fatal consequences in the current pandemic situation.
