claim: cardiac sars-cov-2 infection is associated with distinct transcriptomic changes within the lung.
evidence_1: in this autopsy series, cardiac replication of sars-cov-2 was associated with early death.", "understanding both direct and indirect damage caused to the heart and the vascular system by sars-cov-2 infection is necessary to identify optimal clinical care strategies.", "accordingly, there are several studies reporting a direct effect on heart function of coronaviruses with a pathogenicity similar to that of sars-cov-2.", "indeed, upon sars-cov-2 infection, cardiac insufficiency is more likely to occur in these patients where cardiac function is already compromised by myocardial ischemia [4,5,6, 83, 84]."
