Abstract
BACKGROUND
Patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and coronary artery disease (CAD) or heart failure (HF) are more likely to have poor outcomes. This study aimed to determine the characteristics and outcomes of COVID-19 patients with CAD/HF across various institutions in the Philippines.
METHODS
We utilized the data from the Philippine CORONA Study and compared the outcomes of admitted COVID-19 patients with CAD/HF versus those without. The Student's t test, Mann-Whitney U test, binary logistic regression and multivariate regression analysis were utilized. Odds ratios (OR) and Kaplan-Meier curves were generated.
RESULTS
We included a total of 512 patients with COVID-19 had CAD/HF and 10,369 were without. CAD/HF was significantly associated with COVID severity, all-cause mortality, death from cardiac causes, respiratory failure, and prolonged hospitalization. After adjusting for confounders, the presence of CAD/HF was still associated with death from a cardiac cause (OR 2.22, 95% CI 1.49-3.3, p < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONS
The presence of CAD or HF was significantly associated with severity of COVID disease, all-cause mortality, death from cardiac causes, respiratory failure, and prolonged hospitalization.
