Cardiac function in relation to myocardial injury in hospitalised patients with COVID-19 2020-07-08 .txt text/plain 3792 223 49 BACKGROUND: Previous studies have reported on myocardial injury in patients with coronavirus infectious disease 19 (COVID-19) defined as elevated cardiac biomarkers. Data presented from China and New York reported a substantial number of patients with myocardial injury in COVID-19, however this was mainly based on elevated cardiac troponin levels [1, 2] . There is limited data on the association between myocardial injury and the incidence of left and right ventricular dysfunction potentially caused by COVID-19. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the incidence of left and right ventricular dysfunction in hospitalised patients with COVID-19, and to assess its relation to biomarker analysis. Subgroup analysis showed no relation between elevated Troponin T or NT-proBNP, and patients with ventricular dysfunction (see Tab. 3 and Fig. 1 ). This study provides a unique cross-sectional observation of non-selected COVID-19 patients admitted to the ward, exploring the incidence of left and right ventricular dysfunction in relation to biomarker analyses. ./cache/cord-267486-ipcvepia.txt ./txt/cord-267486-ipcvepia.txt
