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

Coronary Artery Disease Journal

Background Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is one of the most lethal complications of COVID-19 hospitalization. In this study, we looked for the occurrence of AMI and its effects on hospital outcomes among COVID-19 patients. The odds of adverse outcomes such as mortality (aOR 3.90, 95% CI: 3.48–4.36),

The impact of COVID-19 and the COVID-19 pandemic on hospitalized patients with STEMI in the United States: insights from the National Inpatient Sample

Coronary Artery Disease Journal

Background It is unclear how COVID-19 pandemic affected care and outcomes among patients who are diagnosed with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in the USA. Patients with COVID-19 versus those without had significantly greater in-hospital mortality (45.2% reduction in admissions in 2020.

Very early invasive strategy in higher risk non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome: the RAPID NSTEMI trial

Heart BMJ

Objective To investigate whether a very early invasive strategy (IS)±revascularisation improves clinical outcomes compared with standard care IS in higher risk patients with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS). Results The trial was discontinued early by the funder due to slow recruitment during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Cardiac events and procedures following COVID-19 compared with other pneumonias: a national register study

Open Heart

Background Studies have shown an increased risk of cardiac disease following COVID-19, but how it compares to pneumonia of other etiologies is unclear. Aims To determine the incidence and HRs of cardiac disease in patients hospitalised with COVID-19 compared with other viral or bacterial pneumonias.
