As an initial process, the SARS-CoV-2 virus, anchored in the transmembrane
COVID-19 is pandemic and, though it primarily affects the lungs, there is evidence of cardiovascular system involvement. Mechanistically, SARS-CoV-2, following proteolytic cleavage of its S protein by a serine protease, binds to the transmembrane angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) —a homologue
