The major findings of the present study are as follows: (i) myocardial injury is not uncommon among patients with severe COVID-19, especially among those who die; (ii) elevated levels of myocardial markers predict risk for in-hospital death; and (iii) senior age, inflammatory response, and underlying cardiovascular-related comorbidities are associated with myocardial injury in patients with COVID-19. To further analyse related factors of myocardial injury by multivariable regression, senior age, comorbidities (e.g. hypertension, coronary heart disease, chronic renal failure, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), and inflammatory markers (e.g. PCT and C-reactive protein) were predictors of in-hospital myocardial injury in patients with severe COVID19 . cTnI and CK-MB levels predict risk for in-hospital death, and myocardial injury is associated with senior age, inflammatory response, and cardiovascular-related comorbidities. ./cache/cord-295700-lzaxzuwe.txt ./txt/cord-295700-lzaxzuwe.txt
