Distinct etiologies of high-sensitivity troponin T elevation predict different mortality risks for patients hospitalized with COVID-19.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cardiovascular events in the context of COVID-19 infection increase the risk of negative patient outcomes, but large cohort studies describing this association are limited. The purpose of the current study was to investigate the potential associations between cardiovascular events and mortality in patients hospitalized due to COVID-19.

Methods

A retrospective chart review was performed in 2450 patients hospitalized for confirmed COVID-19 infection within a single hospital network between March 15 and June 15, 2020. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify predictors of mortality.

Results

In the study population, 57% of patients had elevated high sensitivity troponin (hs-TnT) levels. Acute heart failure occurred in 23% of patients and arrhythmias we
