[Hypoxia and inflammation are risk factors for acute myocardial injury in patients with coronavirus disease 2019].

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To investigate the risk factors for acute myocardial injury in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients.

Methods

This is a retrospective analysis of a COVID-19 cohort, in which 149 confirmed COVID-19 patients enrolled were divided into the group of myocardial injury (19 cases) and the group of non-myocardial injury (130 cases). Myocardial injury was defined according to Fourth universal definition of myocardial infarction released by European Society of Cardiology (ESC) in 2018, that cardiac troponin (cTn) was above 99th percentile of the reference level. Clinical information and results of laboratory tests of the eligible patients were collected. Factors associated with myocardial injury in COVID-19 patients were evaluated.
