Abstract:

Cardiovascular disease is the most-common complication of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). During the COVID-19 pandemic, the safety and efficacy of common cardiovascular drugs such as anti-hypertensive, lipid-lowering, antiplatelet, anticoagulant, hypoglycemic and antiarrhythmic drugs have remained controversial that required improved consensuses. With the increase of global cases of COVID-19 and the occurrence of the second wave of infection, it is urgent to reveal the effects of cardiovascular disease drugs on COVID-19 patients. This study aims to summarize the relationship between common cardiovascular drugs and the risk of COVID-19 infection and poor prognosis, thus providing references for medications in COVID-19 patients with cardiovascular diseases.

Key words: COVID-19, cardiovascular system, anticoagulant therapy, antiplatelet therapy, lipid-lowering therapy, anti-hypertensive therapy, hypoglycemic therapy, antiarrhythmic therapy, meta-analysis
