Why the study?
Despite myocardial injury being associated with worse prognosis in COVID-19, systematic determination is not recommended, and its effect on risk stratification required evaluation.
Does myocardial injury on admission predict 30-day all-cause mortality in hospitalized adult patients with COVID-19?
Does myocardial injury on admission predict 30-day all-cause mortality in hospitalized adult patients with COVID-19?
Myocardial injury on admission in COVID-19 patients is independently associated with increased 30-day mortality and significantly improves risk stratification when added to clinical models.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Myocardial injury assessment may refine COVID-19 risk stratification; leaves open whether routine testing improves outcomes.
Lorente-Ros et al. (2020) studied this question.
