(5) It has been speculated that 10 SARS-CoV-2 damages the host through two overlapping mechanisms, the first is the direct damage 11 of the virus itself, the second is an abnormal host response that may lead to a cytokine storm Aim of this study is to report a series of heart transplanted patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection 3 from two Heart Transplant Centers in the North of Italy describing clinical characteristics, 4 prognosis and the impact of COVID-19 on heart transplant programs. The high case fatality rate observed in heart transplanted patients may be due 3 to the characteristics of the cohort evaluated in the analysis. These characteristics may therefore explain the 12 higher incidence SARS-CoV-2 infection, the more severe clinical presentation and the higher 13 mortality rate in transplanted patients.
