Several papers in the recent literature have highlighted the complex interaction between the cardiovascular system and COVID-19, showing myocardial injury in 20 to 40% of hospitalized patients (14, 15) : heart failure, acute coronary syndrome (ACS), arrhythmia and myocarditis, the most frequent complications, are all associated with elevated cardiac troponins, evidenced in particular by high-sensitivity immunoassays (16, 17) . These results seem to provide clinically relevant and specific informations regarding the type and the severity of myocardial injury associated to COVID 19 disease (21, 22) , thus assuring additional clinical data for stratifying risk, establishing the prognosis, managing patients and gaining important epidemiological insight on cardiac involvement in SARS-CoV-2 patients (23, 24) .	./cache/cord-252374-obl6pfpf.txt	./txt/cord-252374-obl6pfpf.txt
