The necessity and impact of SARS-CoV-2 on the world's health have led to the development and production of practical and useful vaccines for this deadly respiratory virus. Since April 2020, a vaccine for the virus has been developed. Given that comorbidities such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease are more prone to viruses and the risk of infection, vaccines should be designed to protect against high-risk respiratory illnesses. In this review, we discussed the cardiovascular alteration in SARS-CoV-2 treatment, and we also reviewed the vaccination information and studies that have been done to primary considerations for cardiac patients.
