Overview
Historical Perspective
- [Disease name] was first discovered by [scientist name], a [nationality + occupation], in [year] during/following [event].
- In [year], [gene] mutations were first identified in the pathogenesis of [disease name].
- In [year], the first [discovery] was developed by [scientist] to treat/diagnose [disease name].
Classification
- [Disease name] may be classified according to [classification method] into [number] subtypes/groups:
- [group1]
- [group2]
- [group3]
- Other variants of [disease name] include [disease subtype 1], [disease subtype 2], and [disease subtype 3].
Pathophysiology
- Studies have demonstrated that COVID-19 interacts with the cardiovascular system, thereby causing myocardial injury and dysfunction as well as increasing morbidity among patients with underlying cardiovascular conditions.
- Among patients with COVID-19, there is a high prevalence of cardiovascular disease, and >7% of patients experience myocardial injury from the infection.[1]
- Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of the heart characterized by inflammatory infiltrates and myocardial injury without an ischemic cause.[2]
- The major cause of myocarditis in the United States and other developed countries is viral.[3] [4]
- A number of cases of myocarditis have been reported in COVID-19 patients.[5][6][7][8]
- Myocarditis has also been reported as the cause of death in some COVID-19 patients.[9]
- The mechanism is unknown, though several have been proposed based on the limited data outside of case reports.
- Proposed pathophysiology of SARS-CoV-2 myocarditis
- SARS-CoV-2 infection is caused by binding of the viral surface spike protein (primed by TMPRSS2 - Transmembrane Protease Serine 2) to the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor.[10]
- ACE2 is expressed in the lung, principally type II alveolar cells which appears to be the principal portal of entry.[11]
- ACE2 is highly expressed in the heart as well.[12]
- Naive T lymphocytes can be primed for viral antigens via antigen-presenting cells and cardio-tropism by the heart-produced hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) which binds c-Met, an HGF receptor on T lymphocytes.[13]
- The primed CD8+ T lymphocytes migrate to the cardiomyocytes and through cell-mediated cytotoxicity, cause myocardial inflammation.
- In the cytokine storm syndrome, proinflammatory cytokines such as Interleukin-6 (IL-6) are released into the circulation, which further augments T-lymphocyte activation and causes the release of more cytokines.[14]
- Cytokine storms result in increased vascular wall permeability and myocardial edema.[7][5]
- Thus a positive feedback loop of immune activation and myocardial damage is established.[15][2]
- Other proposed mechanism includes damage to myocardial cells resulting from respiratory dysfunction and hypoxemia due to COVID-19.
- Pathological changes in the myocardium
- They could be due to viral replication in the myocardium or immune responses caused by the infection or due to systemic responses to respiratory failure.
- Mononuclear inflammatory infiltration has been observed in the heart tissue in COVID-19 autopsy studies.[16]
