Abstract
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to determine whether disease severity varied according to whether coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients had multiple or single cardiovascular diseases and risk factors (CVDRFs).Methods and Results:COVID-19 patients with single (n=281) or multiple (n=412) CVDRFs were included retrospectively. Multivariable logistic regression showed no significant difference in the risk of in-hospital death between groups, but patients with multiple CVDRFs had a significantly higher risk of acute respiratory distress syndrome (odds ratio: 1.75, 95% confidence interval: 1.09-2.81). CONCLUSIONS: COVID-19 patients with multiple CVDRFs have a higher risk of complications than those with a single CDVRF.

Cardiovascular considerations during the COVID-19 pandemic: A focused review for practice in Japan.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that in Japanese patients and clinical settings too, there is a close relationship between COVID-19 and the cardiovascular system including cardiovascular complications, and secondary effects on cardiovascular practice including service disruptions, telemedicine, and epidemiological changes in Japan have been relatively small.

Prevalence of comorbidities and its effects in patients infected with SARS-CoV-2: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: The prevalence of comorbidities in infected patients and risk factors for severe compared with non-severe patients are assessed to help the health sector guide vulnerable populations and assess the risk of deterioration.

Risk factors of critical & mortal COVID-19 cases: A systematic literature review and meta-analysis.

TL;DR: Clinical manifestations such as fever, shortness of breath or dyspnea were associated with the progression of disease, and laboratory examination such as aspartate amino transferase(AST) > 40U/L, creatinine(Cr) ≥ 133mol/l, hypersensitive cardiac troponin I(hs-cTnI) > 28pg/mL, procalcitonin(PCT) > 0.5mg/L predicted the deterioration of disease.

Potential Effects of Coronaviruses on the Cardiovascular System: A Review.

TL;DR: Coronavirus disease 2019 is associated with a high inflammatory burden that can induce vascular inflammation, myocarditis, and cardiac arrhythmias and should be judiciously controlled per evidence-based guidelines.
