Slide 3: Cardiovascular effects of COVID-19
Cardiovascular effects of COVID-19 • 187 hospitalized patients in Wuhan1 • Elevated troponin levels in 28% • In hospital mortality: 7.6% without underlying CVD & normal TnT 13.3% with CVD and normal TnT 37.5% without CVD but ↑ TnT 69.4% for CVD and ↑ TnTs 1 Guo T, JAMA Cardiol 2020 ©2011 MFMER
Slide 4: Mechanisms of cardiac injury – RV involvement
Mechanisms of cardiac injury – RV involvement Hypoxemia (ARDS, pulmonary embolism) Shock Acute coronary syndrome Myocarditis Stress cardiomyopathy Adverse right ventricular remodeling related to doubling in mortality (Kim JACC 2021) Pellikka PA, Naqvi T : JACC 2021 ©2011 MFMER
Slide 5: Cardiac Abnormalities in COVID-19 and Relationship to Outcome
Cardiac Abnormalities in COVID-19 and Relationship to Outcome • Clinically-indicated echo in 179 COVID-19 inpatients at 10 MC sites • Age 60± 17 years; 60% men • Events within 30 days in 70 (39%) patients including prolonged hospitalization in 43 (24%) & death in 27 (15%) Krishna H, Pellikka PA, et
Slide 6: Cardiac Abnormalities in COVID-19 and Relationship to Outcome
Cardiac Abnormalities in COVID-19 and Relationship to Outcome • Left ventricular ejection fraction < 50% in 29 (16%), regional wall motion abnormalities in 26 (15%), and right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) >35 mm Hg in 44% • Myocardial injury (troponin elevation + new ventricular dysfunction
Slide 7: Myocardial injury: Mayo Clinic cohort
Myocardial injury: Mayo Clinic cohort Non-ST elevation myocardial infarction: 6 pts Stress cardiomyopathy: 3 Myocarditis: 2 Ischemic cardiomyopathy after cardiac arrest, prior CABG: 1 Stress cardiomyopathy/myocarditis: 1 77 yo woman with stress cardiomyopathy ©2011 MFMER
Slide 8: Cardiac Abnormalities in COVID-19 and Relationship to Outcome
Cardiac Abnormalities in COVID-19 and Relationship to Outcome • Prior echo available in 36 (20%) : pre-existing abnormalities were seen in 28 (78%) of these • In a multivariable age-adjusted model, AUC 0.81, prior cardiovascular disease, troponin, D- dimer, and RVSP were related to events at 30 days
Slide 9: Myocardial injury in patients in NYC and Milan
305 pts NYC, Milan • Troponin ↑ in 62% Picture placeholder • Any major echo Central Illustration: Spectrum of echocardiographic abnormalities in abnormality: RWMA, patients with biomarker evidence of global LV dyfunction, myocardial injury and coronavirus disease-2019. RV dysfunction, pericardial ef
Slide 10: Prognostic impact of prior heart failure in pts hospitalized with COVID-19
Prognostic impact of prior heart failure in pts hospitalized with COVID-19 Placeholder for Fig 3 • Pts with hx HF had Forest Plot of the Effect of a History of HF on Outcomes in Patients Admitted longer length of stay: for COVID-19 8 vs 6 d After a multivariable logistic regression adjusting for age
Slide 11: Indirect consequences of the pandemic
Indirect consequences of the pandemic Placeholder for Fig 1 Incidence of Hospitalization for Acute MI before and during the Covid-19 • Hospitals shut down or Pandemic in 2020 and during the Same with limited access Period in 2019, Relative to the Incidence of Hospitalization for Covid-19. Data from
Slide 12: Outcomes of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Pts Recently Recovered From COVID-19
Outcomes of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Pts Recently Recovered From COVID-19 • 100 pts recently recovered from severe COVID- 19, University Hospital Frankfurt • Mean age 49, median time from diagnosis to CMR 71 days (64-92) • CMR abnormal in 78%, inflammation in 60% Puntmann: JAMA C
Slide 13: Follow up after COVID-19
Follow up after • Sequelae after moderate or COVID-19 severe COVID-19 • Perception of decline in exercise capacity, increased shortness of breath. Deconditioning vs damage (heart or lungs)? • Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction? Similar cardiometabolic risk profile (DM, obesity, aging) ©2
Slide 14: Open questions on long-term cardiac sequelae
• Will there be long-term cardiac sequelae? Pulmonary hypertension, heart failure • Role of advanced imaging (stress echo, strain, CMR) • Can artificial intelligence (applied to ECG or echo) identify pts at risk of poor outcome? ©2011 MFMER
Slide 15: Summary
Summary • Cardiac involvement in COVID-19 is varied • Right ventricular enlargement, dilatation and elevated pressures are associated with poor short-term outcomes • Caution in attributing cardiac abnormalities to COVID-19; some pre-existing • Further information is needed regarding long- term cardi
