The main finding is that, in this cohort, in-hospital mortality was associated with older age, respiratory failure and elevated plasma levels of hs-TnI whereas cardiovascular comorbidities were not an independent risk factor at multivariable analysis. However, when age and respiratory failure at hospital admission were analyzed together with cardiac involvement in a multivariable analysis, only older age, a P/F ratio < 200 and elevated hs-TnI plasma levels were significant predictor of death and of the combined outcome.	./cache/cord-290611-fhaguv3f.txt	./txt/cord-290611-fhaguv3f.txt
