As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic worsens, this global pandemic is impacting more than 200 countries/regions and more than 4,500,000 confirmed cases worldwide. COVID-19 is caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2), which might attack not only the respiratory system, but also the other important organs, including the heart. It was reported that COVID-19 patients with a past history of cardiovascular diseases would have a higher mortality. Meanwhile, elevated troponin levels were frequently observed in COVID-19 cases. Besides the comprehensive treatments for COVID-19, as a cardiologist, we should also remain vigilant about the cardiac injuries, especially those with severe emergent cardiovascular symptoms.

随着2019年冠状病毒病（COVID-19）流行病的恶化，这种全球性流行病正在影响200多个国家/地区，全球确诊病例超过4,500,000。COVID-19是由严重急性呼吸系统综合症冠状病毒2（SARS-CoV-2）引起的，冠状病毒2不仅可能侵袭呼吸系统，还可能侵袭包括心脏在内的其他重要器官。据报道，有心血管疾病病史的COVID-19患者死亡率更高。同时，在COVID-19病例中经常观察到肌钙蛋白水平升高。作为心脏病专家，除了对COVID-19进行综合治疗外，我们还应保持警惕，尤其是那些出现严重心血管症状的心脏病患者。
