COVID-19 Hastalarında Mitral Anüler Kalsifikasyonun Mortalite ve Miyokard Hasarı ile İlişkisi

Objective: Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) can particularly affect the respiratory and cardiovascular systems cause serious mortality. Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is a mitral valve pathology associated with cardiac We aimed to evaluate effect of MAC on myocardial injury (MI) mortality, which develop secondary COVID-19 infection. 
 Materials Methods: After applying exclusion criteria, thorax computed tomography (CT) images remaining 1151 consecutive patients were evaluated. Calculation scores was done by two expert radiologists blinded study data. MI defined as those hs-TnI level (≥34 ng/dl). Patients included in classified having mortality not occurring.
 Results: Male gender, advanced age (>65), hypertension, diabetes mellitus, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, kidney disease (CKD), coronary artery heart failure atrial fibrillation rates statistically higher group (p
