摘要：The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has hit the healthcare system worldwide.The risk of severe infection and mortality increases with advancing age,especially in subjects with comorbidities such as cardiovascular disease,hyperten-sion,diabetes,obesity and cancer.Moreover,cardiovascular complications such as myocardial injury,heart failure and throm-boembolism are frequently observed in COVID-19 cases,and several biomarkers (troponin,NTproBNP and D-Dimer) have been identified as prognostic indicators of disease severity and worst outcome.Currently,there is no specific therapy against SARS-CoV-2,although many medications are under investigation.The aim of this review will be to explore the intertwined rela-tionship between COVID-19 disease and the cardiovascular system,focusing on elderly population.The available supportive treatments along with the related concerns in elderly patients,due to their comorbidities and polypharmacotherapy,will be explored.
