COVID-19 in the heart and the lungs: could we "Notch" the inflammatory storm?

abstract：:In this report we review the replacement (i.e., scarring) and reactive (i.e., perivascular and interstitial fibrosis) fibrous tissue responses found in the myocardium in response to effector hormones of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Experimental data are presented to indicate: a) endogenous or exogenous el...
