Abstract
Long-term mortality was significantly associated with the presence of AMI at the initial episode (19.7% AMI in survivors versus 45.8% in deceased patients); in our multivariable model, the only predictor of death was AMI at presentation (HR: 3.21, 95% CI: 1.31-7.88). SARS-CoV-2 infection is multisystemic and, after the lungs, the heart is the second most affected organ. RESULTS Among 337 hospitalized patients diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia, there were 256 survivors (75.9%); 21.9% met criteria for an AMI on admission. [Extracted from the article]
