It was rare but possible for COVID-19 patients without cardiovascular disease (CVD) or cardiovascular risk factors to develop new heart failure (HF) during their illness, according to a center in New York.
A retrospective analysis of 6,439 hospitalized COVID-19 patients found that 0.6% had new HF and 6.6% had a history of HF, reported Anuradha Lala, MD, of Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City, and colleagues.
As shown in their research letter online in the
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, out of the 37 people who experienced new HF, 13 had presented with shock (four cardiogenic, six septic, three mixed) and five with acute coronary syndrome. Just eight had neither CVD nor any related risk factors, whereas 14 had a history of CVD and another 15 at least one risk factor.
