Aims
To assess clinical and prognosis differences in patients with Covid-19 and STEMI.
Methods and results
Using a nationwide registry of consecutive patients managed within 42 specific STEMI-care networks, we compared patient and procedure characteristics and in-hospital outcomes in 2 different cohorts, according to whether they had Covid-19.
Among 1010 consecutive STEMI patients, 91 were identified as Covid-19 (10.9%).
With the exception of smoking status (more frequent in non-Covid-19) and previous coronary artery disease (more frequent in Covid-19), clinical characteristics were similar between groups, but Covid-19 patients had more heart failure on arrival (31.9% vs 18.4%, p=0.002). Mechanical thrombectomy (44% vs 33.5%, p=0.046) and IIbIIIa inhibitors administration (20.9% vs 11.2%, p=0.007) were more frequent in Covid-19 patients, who had an increased in-hospital mortality (23.1% vs 5.7%, p<0.0001), that remained consistent after adjustment for age, sex, Killip class and ischemic time: OR (95% CI) = 4.85 (2.04-11.51); p<0.001. Covid-19 patients had an increase of stent thrombosis (3.3% vs 0.8%, p=0.020) and cardiogenic shock development after PCI (9.9 % vs 3.8%, p=0.007).
Conclusions
Our study revealed a significant increase in in-hospital, stent thrombosis and cardiogenic shock development after PCI in patients with STEMI and Covid-19 in comparison with contemporaneous non-Covid-19 STEMI patients.
