Increased risk of severe illness is suggested by a recent study which reported a mortality rate of 25% among HTx patients with COVID-19 in a single transplant center. [21] [22] [23] [24] COVID-19's established predilection for direct myocardial injury 4,7-9,25-27 warrants a more comprehensive examination focusing specifically on HTx cases to improve our understanding of how this illness impacts graft function, occurrence of rejection, presence of donor specific antibodies, and other clinical nuances unique to HTx. Thus, the goal of the present study is to share novel insights from our experience in five HTx patients with moderate/severe COVID-19 at a large quaternary hospital in the New York City area.	./cache/cord-344693-znw3dru4.txt	./txt/cord-344693-znw3dru4.txt
