Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) is a recently emerged disease caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV2), a novel coronavirus that leads to adverse pulmonary pathological features [1] . Therefore, in the present review, the role of ACE2 receptors in the viral entry into the host cell, the effect of COVID-19 on the symptoms and prognosis of CVDs, impact of ACE inhibitors (ACEI), and angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) on patients of CVDs suffering from COVID-19 have been discussed. Various cardiac complications like cardiovascular disease, arrhythmia (ventricular tachyarrhythmia, atrial fibrillation and ventricular fibrillation), hypertension, cardiac injury, heart failure, and fulminant myocarditis have been found to influence the mortality of the COVID -19 patients [27] . There is a possibility that polymorphism in ACE2 gene, linked to hypertension, particularly, in Asian populations, affects the susceptibility of SARS-CoV-2 infection and COVID-19 disease outcome.
