COVID-19: Cardiovascular Complications

In patients with COVID-19, elevated and/or rising cardiac troponin (cTn) levels may be seen in some patients with fatal disease. Elevated cTn levels may be a risk factor for COVID-19 mortality. A history of cardiovascular disease further adds to the mortality risk. There may be many possible reasons for cTn elevations in COVID-19 patients – it is not necessarily a Type I myocardial infarction. There have been case reports of patients presenting to the hospital with classic symptoms of STEMI, who in fact have myocarditis likely caused by COVID-19. In one institution serving a community with a high prevalence of COVID-19, patients presenting with classic STEMI symptoms are screened with ultrasound to exclude myocarditis, before cardiac catheterization is considered.

Cardiovascular complications are both a relatively common and clinically significant complication in provocations representing a substantial mortality risk. It is become very clear that serious pre existing conditions are a major complication, while with regard to the severity of COVID-19. Both hypertension and cardiovascular disease are pre existing conditions that are clearly put patients at a risk of mortality. And this is particularly true in patients greater than 65 years of age. Why are cardiologists so concerned about COVID-19? Well, you can see at first. As I mentioned, hypertension and coronary heart disease have present. Are both significant risk factors for mortality in COVID-19 patients? For example, 23% of survivors had hypertension as compared to 48% in non survivors. And 1% of survivors had coronary heart disease as compared to 24% in non survivors. Furthermore, an admission only 1% of survivors had proponent levels greater than the 99 percentile as compared to 48% in non survivals. The outcomes in these patients was also an issue. Cardiovascular complications, both heart failure and acute cardiac injury are common outcomes in COVID-19 patients. Sorry, Kobe to significantly finds through the transmembrane ace two receptor present on various tissue types, including lung, kidney, gut. An heart leading to information and multi organ failure. Infection of India. Filial cells in the Kappel Aries is of particular importance Becausw. It could lead to severe microvascular and macrovascular dysfunction. In addition, immune over reactivity can destabilize plaques. And in some cases even cause DIC and explain the development of acute coronary syndrome, including myocardial infarction. Infection of the respiratory tract is manifested by the progression of systemic and information, an immune cell overactivation leading to cytokine storm, resulting in increased levels of side effects. Subsequently, it is possible that activated T cells. And macrophages. May infiltrate infected myocardium resulting in the development of myocarditis and severe cardiac damage including heart failure. In a similar way, viral invasion may cause direct cardiac myocyte damage, leading tomorrow cardial dysfunction and contribute to the development of severe cardiac arrhythmia. There are several possible mechanisms for the elevations that are seen in COVID-19 patients. High levels of side clouds or satisfying storm appears to be a leading candidate for many of the serious complications seen in covid patients. Side accounts can cause myocarditis by direct cardiac injury resulting in elevated ropponen levels. Cytokinins can also cause endothelial dysfunction and micro energy opathy. Which can ultimately result in inflammation and plaque instability and rupture, which is a type one. Am I hypoxia? An infection can also cause an oxygen supply and demand imbalance, which of course is a Type 2 am I. Endothelial dysfunction and plaque instability put on only cause a mark cardial infarction but also lead to severe coagulations dysfunction with a high D dimer levels as seen in disseminated intravascular coagulations. Elevate your opponent levels during hospitalization. Have been shown to be associated with increased mortality. Higher mortality rates are clearly associated with higher trip onen levels, reaching over 91% mortality. One trip, onen levels greater than 0.78 are seen. In this particular study, the obvious entered proponent I Ultra assay was used. In a separate study, similar results were obtained on the left side. Mortality rates were very high in patients with pre existing cardiovascular disease and elevated component levels. On the right side, the data shows significantly higher to opponent levels among non survivors versus survivors. In addition, height ropponen levels were seen within the Non Survivor Group as the severity of disease increased. Trip onen levels are not only increased between survivors and non survivors, but showed a steady increase increase within the non Survivor Group during their disease progression. Grace is a murder analysis of eight studies with over 400 patients without cardiac injury, and over 1100 patients. With cardiac injury, the results clearly show. That overall, there was an 8 fold risk of mortality between these two groups. Here is a case study to illustrate that not all elevated proponent levels, even very high levels, necessarily means that the patient has or had amarra cardial infarction. On initial assessment, the patient was a 37 year old male presenting with chest pain, disneya, and diarrhea. For three days, the ECG showed an St elevation. With triponey greater than 10,000 out of grams per liter. Coronary angiography revealed no stenosis on further investigation by echocardiography showed an ejection fraction of 27%. X Ray showed no left sided cardiac enlargement and chest CT indicated pulmonary infection. Sputum was Cyrus Coby 2 positive by PCR. The diagnosis in his patient was determined to be COVID-19 infection with full minute mile cardio, myocarditis and cardiogenic shock. The patient was treated with glucocorticoids, an immunoglobulin. On follow up. One week later, the Chest X Ray was essentially normal with normal with a normal ejection fraction of 66% cardiac trip onen at that time was still elevated, but much lower had 229 of grams per liter. The previous slide was a case case study showing that not all STL elevations seen in patients necessarily mean myocardial infarction. In this small study, 18 COVID-19 patients. Who had St elevations? Wow, eight of the 18 had an MI or 45%. 10 of the 18 or 55% did not show in MI. And were diagnosed with non cardiac myocardial injury based upon either the lack of extre obstructive coronary artery disease on angiogram or the lack of regional wall motion abnormality on echocardiogram. There are a number of potential causes of myocardial injury in COVID-19 patients that may or may not be type one MI, but may have an elevated proponent. Here is a quote from an interventional cardiologist in New York City. We now we've now instituted a protocol where a fellow with an ultrasound is going down to the Ed and assessing for global dysfunction. To avoid bringing the patient into the Cath lab. And exposing the entire team only to find that he has pericarditis, mychart card, ritis, or something other than acute carrier coronary syndrome. So in summary, patients with COVID-19. Elevated and or rising cardiac component levels may be seen in some patients with fatal disease. Elevated trip onen levels may be a risk factor for COVID-19 mortality. A history of cardiovascular disease further adds to the mortality risk. There may be possible reasons for trip onen elevations in COVID-19 patients. It is not necessary necessarily a type 1M I. They have been case reports of patients presenting to the hospital with classic symptoms of St Elevated MI, who in fact have myocarditis likely caused by COVID-19. In one institution, serving a community with high prevalence of a COVID-19, patients presented with presenting with classic STEMI symptoms. Are screened with ultrasound to exclude myocarditis before cardiac Cath is considered. Thank you for your time.
