Frequency and prognosis of CVD and myocardial injury in patients presenting with suspected COVID-19 - The CoV-COR registry.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic led to an alteration of algorithms in emergency medicine, which may influence the management of patients with similar symptoms but underlying cardiovascular diseases. We evaluated key differential diagnoses to acute COVID-19 infection and the prevalence and the prognosis of myocardial injury in patients presenting for suspected COIVD-19 infection.

Methods

This prospective observational study includes patients presenting with symptoms suggestive of COVID-19 infection during the pandemic. In patients without COVID-19, leading diagnoses was classified according to ICD-10. Myocardial injury was defined as elevated high-sensitivity Troponin I with at least one value above the 99th percentile upper reference limit and its prevalence together
