Abstract: (20 Views)
Covid-19 patients with a history of cardiovascular diseases and elevated cardiac biomarkers are more susceptible to serious complications and have poorer prognosis than other individuals. In the present case series, we reported a number of Covid-19 patients who experienced myocardial infarction (MI) in the Shahid Mostafa Khomeini hospital of Ilam. By examining Covid-19 patients who had chest pain and ECG abnormalities, we identified 10 patients (8 men and 2 women) who had experienced MI. All of them were over 60 years old. Of the patients, 3 (30%) died, and 7 (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 infectious diseases, including Covid-19, in individuals with cardiovascular problems.
