Potentially, the COVID-19 outbreak will also lead to an increase of long-term complications of patients with CVD such as heart failure in both patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 and those that are not infected but that were treated suboptimally during the ongoing pandemic ( Figure 1 ). In conclusion, Nicin and co-workers report here an important observation with future implications in both research and, potentially, treatment of SARS-CoV-2-infected cardiovascular patients. These novel data at least suggest that it will be important to monitor SARS-CoV-2-infected patients for cardiovascular complications and assess the impact of ARB/ACE inhibitor therapy in more detail.
