Key result
COVID-19 infection in patients with acute coronary syndrome was associated with a higher likelihood of late presentation and in-hospital mortality compared to those without COVID-19.
Why the study?
Multiple cases of cardiovascular involvement, including acute coronary syndrome, have been recorded since the COVID-19 epidemic, prompting risk stratification in these patients.
Does COVID-19 infection increase the risk of late presentation and in-hospital mortality in patients with acute coronary syndrome?
Cohort (n=200)
No
Does COVID-19 infection increase the risk of late presentation and in-hospital mortality in patients with acute coronary syndrome?
Concurrent COVID-19 infection in patients presenting with acute coronary syndrome is associated with delayed presentation and increased in-hospital mortality.
Risk stratification of ACS during COVID era is hypothesis-generating; leaves open whether 19-group categorization improves on GRACE or standard care.
Multiple cases of cardiovascular involvement, including acute coronary syndrome, have been recorded since the catastrophic epidemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in early 2020. The purpose of this investigation was to categorise people with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) into one of nineteen different groups. Patients and Methods: From May 2021 to April 2022, 200 patients with ACS were hospitalised to the CCU Department at Benha University Hospital for this prospective research. The GRACE scores of the groups investigated do not vary substantially from one another (non-significantly higher in patients with COVID-19) The results of this research show that people with ACS who also have COVID-19 are more likely to appear late and to die while hospitalised than those with ACS who do not have COVID-19.

A.Muhumed et al. (2022) conducted a cohort in Acute coronary syndrome (n=200). COVID-19 infection vs. No COVID-19 infection was evaluated on Late presentation and in-hospital mortality. COVID-19 infection in patients with acute coronary syndrome was associated with a higher likelihood of late presentation and in-hospital mortality compared to those without COVID-19.
