Abstract

Aim: To study and compare the features of the course of ACS in patients who underwent COVID19 infection. Material and Methods: The study included ACS patients with ST segment elevation admitted from January 2021 to February 2022. Patients were compared with a group of patients who did not suffer from COVID 19 infection and were hospitalized for ACS in a similar period of time. The study included 114 patients. In all patients, the presence of IgG antibodies to the agent of the coronavirus infection COVID-19 was determined, which indicates that the person has already had a coronavirus infection or not. Patients were divided into 2 groups: 1 - patients who had COVID19 infection; 2 - not recovered from coronavirus infection. All patients were assessed the following indicators: the presence of coronary artery disease before hospitalization, the incidence of cardiogenic shock, the presence of STEMI, as well as the number of deaths during hospitalization. Results: In the first group, only 39.5% (45) of patients were examined, of which men - 80.0% (36). Prior to hospitalization, coronary artery disease was present in 64.4% (29) of patients. STEMI was present in 75.5% (34) of patients. The incidence of cardiogenic shock in 4.4% (2) of patients. The number of deaths during hospitalization is 4.4% (2). In the second group, only 60.5% (69) of patients were examined, of which 78.3% (54) were men. Prior to hospitalization, CAD was present in 55.07% (38) of patients. STEMI was recorded in 59.4% (41) of patients. The incidence of cardiogenic shock is 1.45% of patients. The number of deaths during hospitalization was 1.45%. Conclusion: Before hospitalization, CAD was present in the majority of patients 39.5% (45) who had COVID 19, who did not have COVID19 patients 60.5% (69). STEMI was present in 75.5% (34) of patients who had COVID19 and 59.4% (41) of those who did not have COVID 19 infection (p < 0.05). During the pandemic, there is a high incidence of cardiogenic shock in 4.4% (2) of patients who have had COVID19 and 1.45% (1) of those who have not been ill. The percentage of deaths during hospitalization in COVID19 survivors is higher compared to 4.4% with 1.45% who did not recover.
