CVD Complication of HCoV infection.

HCoV Authors and Research types Study Region Study Period Case Size CVD Complication Abnormal Indicator Major Findings
OC43 Lee et al. [70] single-center retrospective Saint Louis 12/2012∼12/2013 4315 hypotension Blood pressure Hypotension was found in a small number of patients with CoV infection.
SARS Yu et al. [92] multicenter retrospective America 2003 121 hypotension; tachycardia; bradycardia; cardiomegaly; cardiac arrhythmia Blood pressure; heart rate hypotension and tachycardia are common in SARS patients. Bradycardia and cardiac hypertrophy are less common, and arrhythmias are rare.
Li et al. [91] single-center prospectively Hongkong 2003 46 cardiac injury; diastolic impairment CK; LDH; echocardiogram SARS patients had subclinical diastolic impairment without contraction involvement, and this damage may be reversible upon clinical recovery.
Yin et al. [94] review 2018 vasculitis SARS-CoV also attacks small blood vessels throughout the body, causing systemic vasculitis.
Oudit et al. [99] single-center retrospective Toronto 2013 20 myocardial damage Decreased ACE2 expression may be responsible for the myocardial dysfunction and adverse cardiac outcomes in patients with SARS.
MERS Alhogbani et al. [110] case report Saudi Arabia 2016 1 myocarditis; heart failure hs-TnI; echocardiogram This was the first case to show that MERS coronavirus may cause acute myocarditis and acute heart failure.
SARS-CoV-2 Huang et al. [9] multicenter prospectively Wuhan 12/2019∼1/2020 41 cardiac injury hs-TnI The levels of hs-CTnI of 5 patients increased significantly after infection
Wang et al. [10] single-center retrospective Wuhan 1/2020∼2/2020 138 cardiac injury CKMB; LDH; hs-TnI 10.2 % patients had acute cardiac injury
Li et al. [124] multicenter meta-analysis China 1/2020∼3/2020 1527 cardiac injury At least 8% of patients with COVID-19 suffered acute cardiac injury
Wang et al. [125] single-center retrospective Wuhan 1/2020∼2/2020 53 tachycardia; electrocardiography abnormities; diastolic dysfunction; elevated myocardial enzymes; acute myocardial injury Heart rate; CRP; d-dimer 15 of the 53 patients had tachycardia, 11 had electrocardiography abnormities, 20 had diastolic dysfunction, 30 had elevated myocardial enzymes and 6 had acute myocardial injury.
Yang et al. [12] single-center retrospective Wuhan 12/2019∼1/2020 52 cardiac injury hs-TnI The level of hs-TnI is higher in severe infections.
Li et al. [13] single-center retrospective Wuhan 1/2020∼2/2020 25 cardiac injury hs-TnI; proBNP The risk of heart injury in deceased patients is higher than that in survivors. 94.7 % patients’ serum hs-TnI or/and proBNP levels were increased.
Wu et al. [131] single-center retrospective Wuhan 12/2019∼1/2020 188 heart injury hs-TnI; CRP; IL-6; lymphocytes Hs-TnI at admission may be associated with increased mortality.
Zhang et al. [132] multicenter retrospective Wuhan 12/2019∼3/2020 82 cardiac injury hs-TnI; CRP; IL-6 89 % of deceased patients had cardiac injury. cardiac damage may have something to do with the cytokine storm resulting from an overaggressive host immune response.
Lippi et al. [133] multicenter meta-analysis China 12/2019∼3/2020 cardiac injury hs-TnI Hs-TnI was 2.2-fold higher in ICU patients than in patients with mild cases.
Liu et al. [134] single-center retrospective Wuhan 12/2019∼3/2020 291 cardiac injury hs-TnI; proBNP Patients in the ICU had much higher troponin I and NT-proBNP than the patients not in the ICU.
Gao et al. [135] single-center retrospective Wuhan 12/2019∼3/2020 102 cardiac injury proBNP Patients with higher levels of proBNP had a higher risk of hospital death.
Guo et al. [60] Single-center retrospective Wuhan 30/1∼30/2/2020 187 cardiac injury TnT; proBNP Myocardial injury is significantly associated with fatal outcome of COVID-19; Myocardial injury is associated with cardiac dysfunction and arrhythmias; Inflammation may be a potential mechanism for myocardial injury.
Shi et al. [136] Single-center retrospective Wuhan 20/1∼10/2/2020 416 cardiac injury hs-TNI; CK-MB; myohemoglobin Cardiac injury is a common condition among hospitalized patients with COVID-19 in Wuhan, China, and it is associated with higher risk of in-hospital mortality.
