This study using inclusion criteria: full-text and written in English.  It is using the keywords Cardiovascular disease, Covid-19, and Pharmacotherapy. Articles obtained totaling 145,680. Articles were sorted according to various restrictions, and various inclusion criteria obtained 18 articles. Several treatments can be used to reduce mortality in Covid-19 patients with CVD, they are: the administration of pharmacological drugs such as ACEI, ARB, RAAS inhibitors, and Hydroxychloroquine, statin, and advance cardiogenic shock treatment (MCS, V-A ECMO, and Impella).
