Several studies have shown that patients who are at increased risk of death are those with cardiovascular risk factors like: age >60years, obesity, hypertension, diabetes and people with history of chronic respiratory disease, pregnant women and cancer [3] [4] [5] . In Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs), like all over the world, there is an increased spread of the COVID-19 [9] and high burden of cardiovascular diseases [10] ; but until now there is no political strategy to screen systematically patients with cardiovascular risk factors for early management. In LMICs there is an urgent need to target patients with cardiovascular risk factors or established cardiovascular diseases for earlier screening of COVID-19 and better managment of these patients in order to prevent death linked to the virus. ./cache/cord-312969-r8vt2i2z.txt ./txt/cord-312969-r8vt2i2z.txt
