dc.description.abstract | Background: Cardiovascular disease is associated with severe COVID-19. Our aim was to describe clinical and laboratory features (including electrocardiographic and echocardiographic ones) and outcomes of patients with cardiac disease hospitalized with COVID-19. Methods: This is an observational retrospective study of consecutive adult patients admitted, between March and September of 2020, with confirmed SARSCoV-2 infection. Data were collected as per the ISARIC case report form and complemented with variables related to heart disease. Results: One hundred twenty-one patients were included. Mean age was 60 SD 15.2 years and 80/121(66.1%) were male. Two-thirds of the patients (80/121, 66.1%) had COVID-19 at the time of hospital admission and COVID-19 was the reason for hospitalization in 42 (34.7%). Other reasons for hospital admission were acute coronary syndrome (26%) and decompensated heart failure (14.8%). Chronic cardiac diseases were found in 106/121 (87.6%), mostly coronary artery disease (62%) or valve disease (33.9%). A transthoracic echocardio- gram was performed in 93/121(76.8%) and enlarged cardiac chambers were found in 71% (66/93); admission ECG was done in 93 cases (93/121, 76.8%), and 89.2% (83/93) were abnormal. Hospital-acquisition of COVID- 19 occurred in 20 (16.5%) of patients and their mortality was 50%. On bivariate analysis for mortality, BNP levels and troponin levels were NOT associated with mortality. On multivariate analysis, only C reactive protein levels and creatinine levels were significant. Conclusions: COVID-19 impacted the profile of hospital admissions in cardiac patients. BNP and troponin levels were not associated with mortality and may not be good prognostic discriminators in cardiac patients. | |
