Patterns of cardiovascular diseases in COVID-19 patients admitted to tertiary cardiac care centre.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To analyse the pattern of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in COVID-19 patients admitted to tertiary cardiac care centre.

Methods

We retrospectively analysed 511 adult patients admitted between July 1, 2020, and November 30, 2020, with COVID-19 infection and having either new onset or pre-existing CVDs. Clinical features, electrocardiogram (ECG), echocardiography, chest X-ray, biomarkers, haematological and biochemical parameters were analysed.

Results

The mean age of the patients was 56.62 ± 14.74 years. Male: Female ratio was 2.78:1. Pre-existing CVDs were present in 258 patients (50.5%). The most common cardiovascular manifestation was acute coronary syndrome (ACS), seen in 259 patients (50.7%). ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) was more c
