Compared to those without an increase in TnT, these patients were more likely to require invasive or non-invasive ventilation (22% versus 4%, and 46% versus 4%, respectively) and to develop acute respiratory distress syndrome (59% versus 15%) or acute kidney injury (9% versus 0%; p < 0.001 for all); in addition, the mortality rate was higher (51.2% vs. A recent meta-analysis showed that cardiac troponin I (cTnI) values were significantly higher in patients with severe SARS-CoV-2 infection compared to those observed with mild forms [14] . However, myocardial damage alone is not enough and there are other factors involved in enhancing the arrhythmic risk in COVID-19: in fact, in these patients, only half showed acute cardiac injury despite the high frequency of arrhythmias [32] .	./cache/cord-336053-cjq7szcn.txt	./txt/cord-336053-cjq7szcn.txt
