[2] [3] [4] [5] In addition, use of multiple QT-interval prolonging drugs such as hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and azithromycin for the treatment of COVID-19 infection may lead to increased incidence of malignant arrhythmias such as torsades pointes (TdP). Patients who presented with acute cardiac injury were significantly older, had greater frequency of co-morbidities including hypertension, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, higher total leucocyte count, liver enzymes, cardiac troponins and CK-MB levels. In this study, acute cardiac injury was the most common cardiovascular complication in COVID-19 patients. 3 had documented that acute cardiac injury was independently associated with increased mortality in COVID-19 patients. Acute cardiac injury is a frequently encountered complication in COVID-19 patients and is associated with an increased mortality.	./cache/cord-334324-remrcm2q.txt	./txt/cord-334324-remrcm2q.txt
