Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). COVID-19 has not only spread in Indonesia, it has even become a world health problem. World Health Organization (WHO) reported that cases of COVID-19 globally there have been 44,888,869 confirmed cases, including 1,178,475 deaths. Until Ocotber 29th 2020, Indonesia's population who confirmed for COVID-19 (confirmed caces) had reached 404.048 (+3.565 new cases), 60.569 active cases (15.0% of confirmed cases), 329.778 patients had recovered (81.6% of confirmed cases), and 13.701 died (3.4% of confirmed cases). Several case reports suggest that heart injury occurs in COVID-19 patients. Many cases in COVID-19 patients who died from complications of heart disease. Nevertheless, there remains hope that Covid-19 patients with complications of heart disease will be cured. This hope is proven by anti-inflammatory glucocorticoid and immunoglobulin therapy.
