en ● Disease Control گزارش کوتاه Short Communication <div style="text-align: justify;">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.<br> &nbsp;</div> COVID-19, Myocardial infarction (MI), Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) 625 632 http://jrh.gmu.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-2469-2&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Siros Norouzi norozi-s@medilam.ac.ir 100319475328460043214 100319475328460043214 No ِDepartment of Cardiology, School of Medicine, Shahid Mostafa Khomaeini Hospital, Ilam University of Medical sciences, Ilam, Iran.
