Bansal A, Kumar A, Patel D, et al. - In view of limited evidence describing the correlation between cardiac injury and outcomes in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), researchers here evaluated the correlation between cardiac injury and all-cause mortality, intensive care unit (ICU) admission, mechanical ventilation, acute respiratory distress syndrome, acute kidney injury and coagulopathy via performing a comprehensive meta-analysis of studies in COVID-19 patients. In addition, they included studies comparing cardiac biomarker levels in survivors vs nonsurvivors. The final analysis was performed including a total of 14 studies (3,175 patients). Per findings, cardiac injury in patients with COVID-19 infection is correlated with higher risk of mortality, ICU admission, need for mechanical ventilation and development of coagulopathy.
