Incidence of cardiac complications following COVID-19 infection: An umbrella meta-analysis study.


ABSTRACT:

Background

COVID-19 causes fatal cardiac damages. Despite many overwhelming meta-analysis related to cardiac complications following COVID-19 disease, no umbrella meta-analysis study has been conducted.

Objectives

We aimed to report the summarized pooled incidences of cardiac complications in the overall, critically ill, and deceased patients, compare the cardiac complications between the severe/non-severe or deceased/non-deceased patients, and also compare poor outcomes between patients with/without acute myocardial injury (AMI).

Methods

PubMed, Scopus, web of science, Cochrane, ProQuest, Springer, Sage journals were searched before April 2021. After assessing the quality and duplicate data, data were run by the random/fixed-effect models, I2 heterogeneity index, Egger's test, and sensitivity analysis.

Results

After removing duplicate data, in the overall COVID-19 patients, the pooled incidence of AMI, heart failure, arrhythmia, cardiac arrest, and acute coronary syndrome (ACS) were 21%, 14%, 16%, 3.46%, and 1.3%, respectively. In the patients with severe disease, the pooled incidence of AMI and shock were 33 and 35%, respectively. Similarly, in the deceased COVID-19 patients, the pooled incidence rate of AMI and arrhythmia were 56% and 47.5%, respectively. The patients with severe disease were at higher risk of AMI (RR = 5.27) and shock (OR = 20.18) compared with the non-severe cases. Incidence of AMI was associated with transfer to the intensive care units (ICU) (RR = 2.92) and mortality (RR = 2.57, OR = 8.36), significantly.

Conclusion

Cardiac complications were found to be increased alarmingly in COVID-19 patients. Baseline and during hospitalization checking with electrocardiography, echocardiography, and measuring of cardiac biomarkers should be applied.
