Summary:[...]the cardiovascular impacts by COVID-19 pandemic are not yet well established although there are constant publications about its potential deleterious effects. [...]we aimed to carry a systematic review of the literature with meta-analysis based on thefollowing guiding question: what practical contributionsto the scientific literature produced in theperiod of 2019-2020 does the impact of the COVID-19 on cardiovascular system have to offer? According to the WHO, there has been a recent increase in the burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD), especially in low and middle income countries [7]. [...]COVID-19 caused by binding of the viral surface spike protein to thehuman angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor following activation of the spikeprotein by transmembrane protease serine 2 (TMPRSS2) [13]. [...]the cardiovascular impacts by COVID-19 pandemic are not yet well established although there are constant publications about its potential deleterious effects. we believe it is important to discuss the challenges faced, prognostic risk factors, and outcomes of COVID-19 in post-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation patients based on the available real-world data. First discoveredin the 1960s, it received great attention during the 2003 SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV) outbreak [15].
