“…The anchoring ability of the virus is due to its spike protein, which is present on its surface[ 71 , 147 , 148 ]. The dysregulation of RAAS occurs due to the loss of a counter-balance between Ang II levels and ACE2 levels after SARS-CoV-2 infection[ 149 ]. ACE2 levels degrade Ang II and produce Ang (1-7), which opposes the negative impact of Ang II[ 132 , 150 ].…”

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global pandemic where several comorbidities have been shown to have a significant effect on mortality. Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) have a higher mortality rate than non-DM patients if they get COVID-19. Recent studies have indicated that patients with a history of diabetes can increase the risk of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. Additionally, patients without any history of diabetes can acquire new-onset DM when infected with COVID-19. Thus, there is a need to explore the bidirectional link between these two conditions, confirming the vicious loop between “DM/COVID-19”. This narrative review presents (1) the bidirectional association between the DM and COVID-19, (2) the manifestations of the DM/COVID-19 loop leading to cardiovascular disease, (3) an understanding of primary and secondary factors that influence mortality due to the DM/COVID-19 loop, (4) the role of vitamin-D in DM patients during COVID-19, and finally, (5) the monitoring tools for tracking atherosclerosis burden in DM patients during COVID-19 and “COVID-triggered DM” patients. We conclude that the bidirectional nature of DM/COVID-19 causes acceleration towards cardiovascular events. Due to this alarming condition, early monitoring of atherosclerotic burden is required in “Diabetes patients during COVID-19” or “new-onset Diabetes triggered by COVID-19 in Non-Diabetes patients”.

“…4,5 Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) enters human cells by binding to the angiotensinconverting enzyme 2 (ACE-2) receptor. 6 This receptor is expressed in heart, lungs, kidneys, and intestines, thereby providing a multimodal entry point for the virus to infiltrate the body. Preliminary unpublished data indicate that ACE-2 receptor concentrations are higher in adipose tissue in comparison with lung tissue, suggesting that adipose tissue might be vulnerable to SARS-CoV-2 infection (preprint data available from https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202002.0315/v1).…”

“…The first mechanism is that coronavirus can infect and directly destroy lymphocytes because they express the viral-binding protein on their surface membrane, namely angiotensin-converting enzyme 2. 19,20 A second mechanism for lymphopenia may be increased lymphocytic apoptosis due to the cytokine storm that may accompany infection with coronavirus. 7,21 This cytokine storm may also result in atrophy of lymphoid reserves, including the spleen, and impair lymphocyte levels.…”

“…The second observation is that thrombocytopenia may not always be present, suggesting alternative drivers for this thrombotic disorder, including viral endothelial damage and marked complement activation. 20,26,[31][32]36 Mechanisms beyond complement activation must also be considered for the thrombotic disorder in COVID-19. The elevated fibrinogen and factor VIII levels could also lead to thrombosis.…”

THE CORONAVIRUS pandemic is a global crisis and has led to a surge in hospital-based care for severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). 1-5 The unique considerations for severe COVID-19 have resulted in agile adaptation in the clinical arena, including graduate medical education, echocardiography, perioperative care, critical care, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. 6-12 The purpose of this freestanding editorial is to highlight the hematologic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic as they provide clues and challenges for the delivery of high-quality patient care. These features can improve the design of best practices to navigate this crisis creatively. The provided references can also assist leaders in their management of the pandemic at their respective institutions.
