Abstract: (827 Views)
COVID-19 patients with a history of cardiovascular diseases and elevated cardiac biomarkers are more susceptible to serious complications and have a poorer prognosis than other individuals. In the present case series, we reported a number of COVID-19 patients who experienced myocardial infarction (MI) at the Shahid Mostafa Khomeini Hospital of Ilam. By examining COVID-19 patients who had chest pain and electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities, we identified 10 patients (8 men and 2 women) who had experienced MI. All cases were over 60 years old. Of the patients, 3 cases (30%) died, and 7 cases (70%) recovered. Although MI is not common in COVID-19 patients, it is associated with high mortality. Preventive measures can be considered to avoid MI in these patients. It is recommended to screen for infectious diseases, including COVID-19, in individuals with cardiovascular problems.
