Clinical significance of coronavirus disease 2019 in hospitalized patients with myocardial injury.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The clinical significance of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) as an associate of myocardial injury is controversial.

Hypothesis

Type 2 MI/Myocardial Injury are associated with worse outcomes if complicated by COVID-19.

Methods

This longitudinal cohort study involved consecutive patients admitted to a large urban hospital. Myocardial injury was determined using laboratory records as ≥1 hs-TnI result >99th percentile (male: >34 ng/L; female: >16 ng/L). Endotypes were defined according to the Fourth Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction (MI) and COVID-19 determined using PCR. Outcomes of patients with myocardial injury with and without COVID-19 were assessed.

Results

Of 346 hospitalized patients with elevated hs-TnI, 35 (10.1%) had laboratory
