While no studies on COVID-19 have included patients with congenital heart disease, it stands to reason that patients with congenital heart disease could be considered at higher risk for complications from COVID-19. Certain adult patients with congenital heart disease (ACHD) are likely at higher risk than others. Based on the ACHD Anatomy and Physiological Stage Classification, any patient with complex congenital heart disease (Anatomy Stage III) or Physiological Stage B, C, or D symptoms could be considered high risk for complications related to COVID-19 infection on the basis of decreased functional reserve [<xref rid="bb0250" ref-type="bibr">50</xref>] (<xref rid="t0010" ref-type="table">Table 2</xref>). Those with reduced immunity, including Down syndrome, DiGeorge syndrome and asplenia may be at even higher risk for poor outcomes with COVID-19 infection. Studies have tried to risk-stratify patients suffering from a viral pneumonia [<xref rid="bb0255" ref-type="bibr">51</xref>], and the MuLBSTA score may be a tool providers can use to see which patients are at high risk of decompensation and death [<xref rid="bb0155" ref-type="bibr">31</xref>].<table-wrap position="float" id="t0010"><label>Table 2</label><caption><p>Adult Congenital Patients that are likely at higher risk of poor outcomes with COVID-19 due to impaired functional reserve (adapted from 2018 ACC/AHA Guidelines on ACHD patients).</p></caption><alt-text id="al0020">Table 2</alt-text><table frame="hsides" rules="groups"><thead><tr><th align="center">Complex congenital anatomy<hr></hr></th><th colspan="3" align="center">Any patient with congenital heart disease, regardless of the complexity of the anatomy.<hr></hr></th></tr><tr><th align="center">All physiological stages (A through D)</th><th>Physiological stage B</th><th>Physiological stage C</th><th>Physiological stage D</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><list list-type="simple" id="l0005"><list-item id="li0005"><label>•</label><p id="p0005">Cyanotic Heart Defects (Unrepaired or palliated)</p></list-item><list-item id="li0010"><label>•</label><p id="p0010">Double-outlet ventricle</p></list-item><list-item id="li0015"><label>•</label><p id="p0015">Fontan Procedure</p></list-item><list-item id="li0020"><label>•</label><p id="p0020">Interrupted aortic arch</p></list-item><list-item id="li0025"><label>•</label><p id="p0025">Mitral atresia</p></list-item><list-item id="li0030"><label>•</label><p id="p0030">Single Ventricle (including double inlet left ventricle, tricuspid atresia, hypoplastic left heart, any other abnormality with a functionally single ventricle)</p></list-item><list-item id="li0035"><label>•</label><p id="p0035">Pulmonary atresia</p></list-item><list-item id="li0040"><label>•</label><p id="p0040">Transposition of the Great Arteries (both d-TGA and l-TGA)</p></list-item><list-item id="li0045"><label>•</label><p id="p0045">Truncus arteriosus</p></list-item><list-item id="li0050"><label>•</label><p id="p0050">Other abnormalities of atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial connection (i.e. crisscross heart, isomerism, heterotaxy syndromes, ventricular inversion)</p></list-item></list></td><td><list list-type="simple" id="l0010"><list-item id="li0055"><label>•</label><p id="p0055">NYHA FC II symptoms</p></list-item><list-item id="li0060"><label>•</label><p id="p0060">Mild hemodynamic sequelae</p></list-item><list-item id="li0065"><label>•</label><p id="p0065">Mild valvular disease</p></list-item><list-item id="li0070"><label>•</label><p id="p0070">Trivial or small shunt</p></list-item><list-item id="li0075"><label>•</label><p id="p0075">Arrhythmia not requiring treatment</p></list-item><list-item id="li0080"><label>•</label><p id="p0080">Abnormal objective cardiac limitation to exercise</p></list-item></list></td><td><list list-type="simple" id="l0015"><list-item id="li0085"><label>•</label><p id="p0085">NYHA FC III symptoms</p></list-item><list-item id="li0090"><label>•</label><p id="p0090">Significant valvular disease; moderate or greater ventricular dysfunction</p></list-item><list-item id="li0095"><label>•</label><p id="p0095">Moderate aortic enlargement</p></list-item><list-item id="li0100"><label>•</label><p id="p0100">Venous or arterial stenosis.</p></list-item><list-item id="li0105"><label>•</label><p id="p0105">Mild-moderate hypoxemia/cyanosis</p></list-item><list-item id="li0110"><label>•</label><p id="p0110">Hemodynamically significant shunt</p></list-item><list-item id="li0115"><label>•</label><p id="p0115">Arrhythmias controlled with treatment</p></list-item><list-item id="li0120"><label>•</label><p id="p0120">Mild-Moderate Pulmonary hypertension</p></list-item><list-item id="li0125"><label>•</label><p id="p0125">End-organ dysfunction that is responsive to therapy.</p></list-item></list></td><td><list list-type="simple" id="l0020"><list-item id="li0130"><label>•</label><p id="p0130">NYHA FC IV symptoms</p></list-item><list-item id="li0135"><label>•</label><p id="p0135">Severe aortic enlargement</p></list-item><list-item id="li0140"><label>•</label><p id="p0140">Arrhythmias refractory to treatment</p></list-item><list-item id="li0145"><label>•</label><p id="p0145">Severe hypoxemia (associated with cyanosis)</p></list-item><list-item id="li0150"><label>•</label><p id="p0150">Severe pulmonary hypertension</p></list-item><list-item id="li0155"><label>•</label><p id="p0155">Eisenmenger syndrome</p></list-item><list-item id="li0160"><label>•</label><p id="p0160">Refractory end-organ dysfunction</p></list-item></list></td></tr></tbody></table></table-wrap></p></sec><sec id="s0085"><label>5.3</label><title>Prevention</title><p id="p0315">Since patients with underlying cardiovascular disease are at higher risk of morbidity and mortality, patients with ACHD should take great care in preventing infection. This includes frequent handwashing, social distancing measures, proper and appropriate use of masks and other personal protective equipment, and cleaning and disinfecting commonly touched surfaces [<xref rid="bb0260" ref-type="bibr">52</xref>]. Patients with congenital heart disease should be vaccinated against influenza and pneumococcal pneumonia [<xref rid="bb0055" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>,<xref rid="bb0060" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>]. If possible, regularly scheduled clinic visits should be converted to telehealth visits to minimize risk of acquiring an infection in the nosocomial setting [<xref rid="bb0265" ref-type="bibr">53</xref>]. This desire to minimize risk of infection must obviously be weighed against the necessity of in-person visits for some patients, e.g. those with decompensated congestive heart failure or arrhythmias. The advent of wearable technology and wide availability of blood pressure, heart rate, and oximetry equipment for home use can be a reasonable substitute for in-clinic vital sign measurements. Additionally, the video function can allow a clinician to inspect the patient visually, albeit in a far less comprehensive manner when compared to the traditional physical examination. Hand-held and easily sterilized echocardiographic equipment can also be a ‘handy’ substitute for traditional comprehensive echocardiography, and the inevitably higher rate of exposure in a frequently visited echo lab. At least in the short term, these social distancing approaches to the practice of clinical medicine will have to suffice for the majority of our patients. Our early experience with telehealth at the UCLA ACHD clinic has been positive and we have been able to safely diminish our physical clinic walkthrough volume.</p></sec><sec id="s0090"><label>5.4</label><title>Management</title><p id="p0320">Once a patient with ACHD is diagnosed with COVID-19, the management of the infection is similar to the general population. Most COVID-19 patients (close to 80% in the Chinese experience) can be managed expectantly at home with self-care measures [<xref rid="bb0195" ref-type="bibr">39</xref>]. The initial data from the United States are similar, and estimates are that 20–30% of patients are being hospitalized [<xref rid="bb0270" ref-type="bibr">54</xref>]. For those that need to be admitted, the treatment is mainly supportive and should follow the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines on management of COVID-19 [<xref rid="bb0275" ref-type="bibr">55</xref>]. Symptomatic relief with antipyretics, use of supplemental oxygen and management of comorbid conditions are the cornerstones of therapy. The use of antiviral, immune modulating, or antibiotic therapies is at this point not considered standard of care. Controlled trials are ongoing, and we are all anxiously awaiting results and recommendations for treatment of COVID-19.</p><p id="p0325">Some patients with COVID-19 may experience cardiac injury and arrhythmias [<xref rid="bb0160" ref-type="bibr">32</xref>], and employment of echocardiography and cardiac enzymes would seem paramount in this setting [<xref rid="bb0265" ref-type="bibr">53</xref>]. Myocardial injury may occur due to a variety of mechanisms, from direct viral invasion of cardiomyocytes, hypoxia due to severe pneumonia leading to ischemic cardiac tissue, or an overwhelming inflammatory response leading to cytokine storm and myocardial dysfunction (<xref rid="f0005" ref-type="fig">Fig. 1</xref>) [<xref rid="bb0205" ref-type="bibr">41</xref>]. This leads to troponin leak and elevations in brain natriuretic peptide (BNP). While laboratory assessment for cardiac injury is not recommended on a routine basis, patients who show signs and symptoms of myocardial injury (ST-segment changes on an electrocardiogram for example), acute coronary syndrome (chest pain), unstable arrhythmias, or heart failure should be evaluated thoroughly. Differentiation between normal cardiac function with increased metabolic demand, acute coronary syndrome, and fulminant myocarditis will be important as each of these clinical scenarios will require a different treatment algorithm. For patients who are deteriorating, judicious use of fluid resuscitation, vasopressors, mechanical ventilation and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) have been successful at supporting patients through critical illness [<xref rid="bb0145" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>,<xref rid="bb0275" ref-type="bibr">55</xref>]. While the use of steroids has not been recommended in the general treatment of COVID-19 [<xref rid="bb0275" ref-type="bibr">55</xref>], there have been reports of patients recovering from fulminant myocarditis with intravenous immunoglobulin and steroids [<xref rid="bb0180" ref-type="bibr">36</xref>]. More studies will be needed to help parse out which patients will benefit from such therapies.</p><p id="p0330">In terms of medical treatment options, there are currently over 50 studies in various stages of development related to treatment of COVID-19 (<ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="http://clinicaltrials.gov" id="ir0005">clinicaltrials.gov</ext-link>, accessed March 20, 2020). Given the novel nature of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, there are no known effective therapies at this time, but the therapies being studied include antiviral (remdesivir, lopinavir/ritonavir, chloroquine, hydroxychloroquine) and anti-inflammatory (tocilizumab, steroids) agents. The only trial published so far assesses the use of lopinavir-ritonavir in adults hospitalized with COVID-19, and this therapy showed no benefit beyond standard of care [<xref rid="bb0280" ref-type="bibr">56</xref>]. Many of these therapies have cardiovascular side effects, however, and caution must be used when applying them to patients with congenital heart disease. Vaccine development is also underway and is one of the priorities for the WHO moving forward [<xref rid="bb0070" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>].</p><p id="p0335">If patients suffer cardiovascular complications from COVID-19 requiring either percutaneous or surgical intervention, each case must be assessed on an individual basis. Each institution should develop protocols for appropriate triage, isolation, and treatment of COVID-19 patients who may need such interventions. In China, the preference has been to use thrombolytic therapy for patients with acute coronary syndromes (i.e. ST-elevation myocardial infarction) [<xref rid="bb0285" ref-type="bibr">57</xref>], but this has not been the standard of care in the United States. As the pandemic progresses and resources start to become strained, we may be asked to ration certain measures such as intensive care unit beds, mechanical ventilation and extra-corporeal support. It is our sincere hope that it will not come to this in the majority of countries. This concern further underscores the dire importance of slowing the spread of SARS-CoV-2 to allow health care systems to appropriately prepare and manage this crisis without having to resort to rationing of the highest levels of care. Importantly, the clinical need for imaging, invasive and surgical interventions must be weighed against the risk of infecting healthcare workers who may lack the appropriate personal protective equipment at this point in time. Standard operating procedures for use of personal protective equipment and sterilization of catheterization labs and operating rooms should also be developed [<xref rid="bb0265" ref-type="bibr">53</xref>,<xref rid="bb0290" ref-type="bibr">58</xref>].</p></sec><sec id="s0095"><label>5.5</label><title>Use of RAAS inhibitors and COVID-19</title><p id="p0340">The SARS-CoV-2 virus uses ACE2 as a receptor to enter and infect cells [<xref rid="bb0075" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>], and since ACE2 is expressed in many tissues including vascular endothelium and cardiac tissue [<xref rid="bb0080" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>], there have been some hypotheses that the use of ACE-inhibitors and angiotensin receptor 1 blockers (ARBs) may have an effect on the course of COVID-19. ACE2 inactivates angiotensin II, and generates angiotensin 1–7, which is a potent vasodilator [<xref rid="bb0295" ref-type="bibr">59</xref>]. In animal models, the ARBs have been shown to increase cardiac ACE2 expression after chronic (>28 days) treatment [<xref rid="bb0295" ref-type="bibr">59</xref>]. Based on studies of the original SARS coronavirus, viral binding to ACE2 leads to ACE2 downregulation, which results in excessive production of angiotensin II by angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and decreased quantities of the vasodilator heptapeptide angiotensin 1–7, which can contribute to lung injury and stimulation of the RAAS pathway. Counterintuitively, while ARBs increase the number of ACE2 receptors available for SARS-CoV-2 binding, the overall effect of ARBs may protect against lung injury by reducing angiotensin II production by ACE and by increasing the production of vasodilator angiotensin 1–7 [<xref rid="bb0295" ref-type="bibr">59</xref>]. The effect of ACE-inhibitors and ARBs in patients with COVID-19 is not yet known and remains unproven. More studies are required before any recommendations are made about starting or withdrawing ACE-inhibitor and ARB medications. As such, the Heart Failure Society of America, American College of Cardiology, and American Heart Association released a statement recommending continuation of RAAS inhibitors for patients currently taking them for “indications for which these agents are known to be beneficial, such as heart failure, hypertension, or ischemic heart disease [<xref rid="bb0300" ref-type="bibr">60</xref>].” This position has also been echoed by the European Society of Cardiology [<xref rid="bb0305" ref-type="bibr">61</xref>].</p></sec></sec><sec id="s0100"><label>6</label><title>Future directions/next steps</title><p id="p0345">The global pandemic caused by COVID-19 is just beginning and the number of people infected by the virus is increasing at an exponential rate. While there are no studies currently documenting COVID-19 infections in patients with congenital heart disease, it is highly likely that with over 300,000 cases diagnosed worldwide (as of 3/22/2020) there have already been a number of congenital heart disease patients infected by SARS-CoV-2. It is imperative that individual programs, in concert with regional, national, and global organizations, work together to ensure data are gathered on the number of patients tested, those diagnosed with the infection, and their outcomes. Congenital cardiology programs need to be ready to enroll these patients in study registries and trials. In the words of Winston Churchill, “never ‘worry’ about action, but only about inaction.” We need to be meticulous in our study of this disease, voracious in our appetite to learn its secrets, and tireless in our efforts to combat its spread.</p></sec><sec id="s0105"><title>Declaration of competing interests</title><p id="p0350">The authors report no relationships that could be construed as a conflict of interest.</p></sec></body><back><ref-list id="bi0005"><title>References</title><ref id="bb0005"><label>1</label><element-citation publication-type="journal" id="rf0005"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Huang</surname><given-names>C.</given-names></name><name><surname>Wang</surname><given-names>Y.</given-names></name><name><surname>Li</surname><given-names>X.</given-names></name></person-group><article-title>Clinical features of patients infected with 2019 novel coronavirus in Wuhan, China</article-title><source>Lancet</source><volume>395</volume><issue>10223</issue><year>2020</year><fpage>497</fpage><lpage>506</lpage><pub-id pub-id-type="pmid">31986264</pub-id></element-citation></ref><ref id="bb0010"><label>2</label><element-citation publication-type="journal" id="rf0010"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Ksiazek</surname><given-names>T.G.</given-names></name><name><surname>Erdman</surname><given-names>D.</given-names></name><name><surname>Goldsmith</surname><given-names>C.S.</given-names></name></person-group><article-title>A novel coronavirus associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome</article-title><source>N.
