Abstract:Objective: To summarize and analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with COVID-19 combined with cardiovascular disease (CVD) treated in our hospital. Methods: Retrospective analysis of the clinical data of COVID-19 patients with CVD admitted to the Department of Infectious Diseases, Beijing You'an Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 21, 2020 to February 24, 2020. General demographic data, epidemiology, clinical characteristics, laboratory testing indicators, treatment and outcomes were collected and analyzed. The last follow-up date was March 5. Results: There were 11 cases of common type, 9 cases of severe type, and 10 cases of critical type. 14 males and 16 females, aged 46~94 years, with an average age of (71.1±13.2) years, the mean age of critically ill patients was significantly higher than that of common and severe patients (P<0.05). 40.0% of patients had at least one underlying disease, and the proportion of critically ill patients with cerebrovascular disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was significantly higher than that of common and severe patients (all P<0.05). Fever was the most common clinical manifestation. Most patients had cough, sputum, and dyspnea. In this group of patients, there were fewer symptoms of muscle soreness and nasal congestion. Laboratory tests showed that 80.0% of patients had a decrease in lymphocyte count (L), and most patients experienced varying degrees of albumin (ALB) decline, increased C-reactive protein (CRP), and decreased prothrombin activity (PTA). L, arterial oxygen pressure (PaO2), and blood oxygen saturation (SPO2) of critically ill patients were significantly lower than those of common patients, while neutrophil / lymphocyte ratio (NLR), CRP, and myocardial enzymes were significantly higher in common patients (all P<0.05). Of the 30 patients in this group, 7 with acute respiratory distress syndrome and 5 with shock. Severe and critically ill patients receiving glucocorticoids, antibiotics, albumin, and the incidence of various comorbidities were significantly higher than that of common patients (all P<0.05). As of March 5, 2020, 23 patients have been discharged from hospital, 3 have been hospitalized, 4 have died. The age, NLR, serum sodium (Na), troponin I (TNI) and the proportion of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome, shock and acute myocardial injury in the death group were significantly higher than those in the survival group (all P<0.05). Conclusion: COVID-19 with CVD is severe and has a poor prognosis. Old age, high NLR, hypernatremia, and comorbidities may be risk factors for poor prognosis.
