Prevalence and effects of acute myocardial infarction on hospital outcomes among COVID-19 patients

Coronary Artery Disease Journal

OCTOBER 23, 2023

Background Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is one of the most lethal complications of COVID-19 hospitalization. Methods Data from the 2020 California State Inpatient Database was used retrospectively. In this study, we looked for the occurrence of AMI and its effects on hospital outcomes among COVID-19 patients.

Previously, 80% of sudden cardiac arrest have been attributed to coronary artery disease. Survival curves were performed among hospitalised patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) as well as heart failure. Coronary artery disease is now likely in the minority with regard to causes of OHCA.
