Abstract

Over the past 20 years, seven coronaviruses responsible for more or less severe respiratory diseases have emerged in humans. Several of them, including SARS-CoV-2 can cause patients lung injury and sometimes multi-organ failure with adverse myocardial remodeling, myocardial stress, and cardiomyopathy. Recently, SARS-CoV-2 was reported to be a human angiotensin I converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)-tropic virus.
