Cardiac injury and elevated levels of inflammatory biomarkers in patients with COVID-19

In a new publication from Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications; DOI https://doi.org/10.15212/CVIA.2019.1264, Jing Li, Lijie Sun, Fang Wang, Bing Liu, Hui Li, Guodong Tang, Zhigang Chang, Aihua Liu, Chunyi Fu, You Lv, Jing Gao, and Jing Li, from the Beijing Hospital, Beijing, China, Capital Medical University, Beijing, China and the National Clinical Research Center of Geriatric Disease, Xuanwu Hospital, Beijing, China consider the relationship between cardiac injury and elevated levels of inflammatory biomarkers in patients with severe COVID-19.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) emerged as a global pandemic and public health crisis from December 2019.

This study explores the relationship between cardiac injury and inflammatory biomarkers in patients with severe COVID-19. The authors collected data on patients with a confirmed diagnosis of severe COVID-19 comparing demographics, clinical data, and in-hospital outcomes. The relationship between cardiac injury and inflammatory biomarkers was analyzed.

The authors conclude that high levels of inflammatory biomarkers are associated with higher risk of cardiac injury in patients with severe COVID-19 with IL-2R and comorbidities as predictors of cardiac injury.
