cord-322110-crt3h6ua	Arcari, Luca	Incidence and determinants of high-sensitivity troponin and natriuretic peptides elevation at admission in hospitalized COVID-19 pneumonia patients	2020-09-28		.txt	text/plain	3486	184	43	As compared to those with normal cardiac biomarkers, these patients were older, had higher prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and had more severe COVID-19 pneumonia by higher CRP and d-dimer and lower PaO2/FIO2. We observed hs-Troponin and NP to be associated with both preexisting factors leading to higher vulnerability of myocardium (age, anemia, renal failure, previous CVD) as well as markers of COVID-19 pneumonia disease severity (d-dimer [9] , CRP [24] and PaO2/FIO2 [27] ). Finally, irrespective of the underlying mechanisms and in accordance with previous studies [10, 13] , we observed higher in-hospital mortality in patients with either high hs-Troponin or NP within our population, strengthening the hypothesis that cardiac biomarkers assessment might provide useful information to aid COVID-19 pneumonia risk stratification.	./cache/cord-322110-crt3h6ua.txt	./txt/cord-322110-crt3h6ua.txt
