Potential mechanisms of myocardial injury induced by SARS-CoV-2. a SARS-CoV-2 damages cardiomyocytes directly; b SARS-CoV-2 infection reduces ACE2 thus AngII is up-regulated. Kinases in cardiomyocytes are activated to induce an inflammation effect causing myocardial injury; c Inflammatory cytokines release; d Oxygen supply-demand imbalance
