Patients with COVID‐19 who experience a myocardial infarction have complex coronary morphology and high in‐hospital mortality: Primary results of a nationwide angiographic study

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions May 02, 2021

Abizaid A, Campos CM, Guimarães PO, et al. - Since patients with coronavirus disease‐19 (COVID‐19) may experience myocardial infarction (MI) during the course of the viral infection, but this association is currently unknown, researchers conducted this multicenter prospective study to explore angiographic patterns and in‐hospital outcomes of patients with concomitant COVID‐19 and MI. In total, 152 patients were involved, 142 (93.4%) of whom had COVID‐19 diagnosis confirmation. In total, 83 (54.6%) patients presented with ST‐elevation MI. Patients who have a MI in the context of ongoing COVID19 have complex coronary morphologies, implying a background of prior atherosclerotic disease superimposed on a thrombotic milieu. The in-hospital prognosis is low, with a high mortality rate, necessitating more research to better understand this newly identified disease.
