Cardiovascular Health in the Time of COVID-19
Springer Nature, in collaboration with the Max Delbrück Center for Molecular Medicine, the Berlin Institute of Health at Charité and Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, presents a panel discussion entitled “Cardiovascular health and COVID-19”.
COVID-19, caused by a severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has become a global pandemic that has affected the lives of the entire human population. The panel, composed of Berlin-based renowned experts in basic, translational and clinical science focused on cardiovascular disease and immunology, will discuss three key aspects:
How pre-existing cardiovascular condition is associated with worse outcomes and increased risk of death in patients with COVID-19, how COVID-19 itself can induce cardiovascular disease, such as venous thromboembolism, high blood pressure, acute coronary syndrome, myocardial injury, and arrhythmia, and how we can minimize all these risks by vaccination.
