Evaluation of myocardial injury patterns and ST changes among critical and non-critical patients with coronavirus-19 disease

Abstract Novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has led to a major public health crisis globally. Currently, myocardial damage is speculated be associated with COVID-19, which can seen as one of the main causes death patients COVID-19. We therefore, aim investigate effects COVID-19 on injury in hospitalized who have been tested positive for pneumonia this study. A prospective study was conducted among 201 Pakistan Military Hospital from April 1 August 31, 2020, including non-critical cases and critical cases. were stratified according signs symptoms severity; those requiring intensive care invasive mechanical ventilation critical, did not non-critical. total categories presented injury. All had an elevation CKMB Troponin-I levels. Of these patients, 43.7% new electrocardiography (ECG) changes, ST depression typically observed 36.3% patients. In addition, 18.7% abnormal echocardiography findings, right ventricular dilatation dysfunction commonly group Results analyzed by logistic regression model showing direct contribution directly leads cardiovascular Myocardial only ECG changes but also more
