Cardiovascular risk factors are common in hospitalized patients with COVID-19, particularly hypertension and diabetes. In a Chinese study, the prevalence of coronary artery disease and cerebrovascular disease was 6.0% and 2.3%, respectively. 1 Myocardial injury (22.2%), shock (30.6%), and arrhythmias (44.4%) are also frequent, especially in patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU). 2 In addition, cardiovascular disease and myocardial injury are associated with a higher mortality rate from Cardiovascular complications are more common in critically ill patients. Wei et al., 4 demonstrated that myocardial injury was present in 15.8% of patients and, in half of them, troponin levels were elevated more than five times the upper limit of normal. In this study, the increase in troponin was associated with higher mortality. 4
