The cardiovascular patient, always being present due to the importance his/her caring has, as it is the leading cause of death worldwide, is again the protagonist during the pandemic: because of the effects of COVID-19 at heart level, because of the effects of COVID-19 in patients with a cardiovascular condition, and because of all chronic patients for whom secondary and tertiary prevention and early detection of complications are a key aspect for controlling their disease and during these days may become affected. The aim of this article is to gather the latest news on COVID-19 in Spain, both at the epidemiological level and in connection with the care our patients need in accordance with the recommendations given by the Health Service and by the scientific organizations, with the difficulty that the information is constantly changing as the days pass by and we continue learning about new data on the pandemic. Nursing care is a key aspect in caring the COVID-19 patient, hence we try to facilitate the latest recommendations, with the general care provided to the patient with COVID-19, but also focused on the cardiovascular patient.
