Özet

ACE2 receptors are reported to have an important role in myocardial injury in Covid-19. Direct myocardial toxic effect of virus, myocarditis, cytokine injury, microangiopathic injury related to virus infection may cause myocardial injury and eventually troponin levels increase. Those mechanisms are; unstable plaques in coronary arteries resulting in myocardial hypoxia, upregulation of ACE2 receptors in coronary arteries and cardiac tissue, direct toxic effect of virus towards myocytes, systemic inflammation, myocardial interstitial fibrosis, excessive immune response to interferon, increased cytokine release from helper T lymphocytes which lead to myocardial injury. In this reported case, clinical course was mild and outcome was good, patient was followed in ward and he did not need intensive care.
