Abstract
En diciembre de 2019, se detectaron en China los primeros casos de una neumonía cuyo agente causante se identificó como un nuevo coronavirus, el SARS-CoV-2. Dicho virus causa la enfermedad COVID-19, cuyas virulencia y capacidad de transmision, junto con la ausencia de vacuna o de un tratamiento especifico, han condicionado un impacto sin precedentes en los sistemas sanitarios. La COVID-19 puede producir una afección grave en el sistema cardiovascular. Los pacientes con factores de riesgo cardiovascular o con una enfermedad cardiovascular subyacente son poblaciones particularmente vulnerables, con un riesgo muy elevado de sufrir complicaciones y muerte. Sin embargo, se ha tenido que asistir a dichos pacientes con una evidencia científica inexistente o muy escasa. En este suplemento se analizan la Fisiopatología de la COVID-19, los mecanismos directos e indirectos de la afección cardiovascular y los diversos tipos de complicaciones cardiovasculares. Asimismo se resumen los documentos que la SEC elaboro para dar una respuesta practica a la compleja situación asistencial generada. También se describen las futuras formas de la reorganizacion ambulatoria, principalmente mediante telemedicina, para dar continuidad asistencial. Para terminar, se analizan los diferentes tipos de tratamientos farmacológicos utilizados y sus posibles interacciones. El presente suplemento, con una serie de artículos elaborados por autores de prestigio, resume el conocimiento actual sobre dicha enfermedad y aporta datos e Información de gran valor práctico.

Abstract
In December 2019, an outbreak of pneumonia caused by a novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) spread rapidly worldwide. Although the clinical manifestations of COVID-19 are dominated by respiratory symptoms, the cardiovascular system is extensively affected at multiple levels. Due to the unprecedented consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, the ARTERY society decided to launch the Covid-19 effects on ARTErial StIffness and vascular AgeiNg (CARTESIAN) study - the first international multicentre study into the effects of COVID-19 on non-invasive biomarkers of vascular ageing. The main study objective is to evaluate the presence of Early Vascular Ageing (EVA) 6 and 12 months after COVID-19 infection. Secondary objectives are to study the effect of COVID-19 disease severity on EVA, to investigate the role of psychosocial factors in COVID-19 induced EVA, and to investigate the potential modifying effect of comorbidities and chronic treatments. In the CARTESIAN study, a broad array of cardiovascular measurements, including carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity, central blood pressure, carotid ultrasound, brachial flow-mediated dilatation, will be performed. To date, 43 centres from 21 countries have agreed to participate, with an expected study population of >2500 individuals. To our knowledge, CARTESIAN will be the first study to provide insight into the relationship between COVID-19, its severity, and early vascular ageing in a large cohort, potentially enabling future care and diagnostics to be more focused on the most vulnerable.
