The pandemic of COVID-19 in worldwide causes recent millions of morbidity and mortality in all countries and is the most important challenge in the world in recent years. Coronavirus is a single-stranded RNA virus and infection with COVID-19 leads to acute respiratory distress syndrome, lung inflammation, cytokine storm, and death. The other complications include endothelial dysfunction, activation of coagulation, thromboembolic events, and vascular disease. Cardiovascular complications such as myocardial and stroke ischemia, pulmonary thromboembolism, systemic arterial, and deep vein thrombosis were reported. In this review, we presented immuno-pathological mechanisms and the effects of COVID-19 on the cardiovascular system, heart, vessels, coagulation system, and molecular glance of immuno-inflammation to the COVID-19’s pathology on the cardiovascular system.
Allergic asthma is an inflammatory disorder of the bronchi, and as a major health problem, more than 350 million people suffer from asthma in the world. Many cardiovascular disorders resulted in the impairment of the heart's power to pump blood that leads to the HF. More than 25 million people worldwide live with HF. Accordingly, identifying the biomarkers to predict the onset of future asthma and HF is necessary. IL‐33 is an inflammatory cytokine that has the main role in pathophysiology of asthma and HF. Also, in IL‐33 receptor, the ST2 is involved in cardiac fibrosis and remodelling in HF and pathogenesis of allergic asthma. Increased sST2 in allergic asthma helps to control inflammation during asthma, but increased sST2 in HF is a predictable biomarker to present risk factor of HF during the time of the patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
