Abstract
BackgroundThe implications of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) infection on outcomes after invasive therapeutic strategies among patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are not well studied.HypothesisTo assess the outcomes of COVID‐19 patients presenting with AMI undergoing an early invasive treatment strategy.MethodsThis study was a cross‐sectional, retrospective analysis of the National COVID Cohort Collaborative database including all patients presenting with a recorded diagnosis of AMI (ST‐elevation myocardial infarction (MI) and non‐ST elevation MI). COVID‐19 positive patients with AMI were stratified into one of four groups: (1a) patients who had a coronary angiogram with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) within 3 days of their AMI; (1b) PCI within 3 days of AMI with coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) within 30 days; (2a) coronary angiogram without PCI and without CABG within 30 days; and (2b) coronary angiogram with CABG within 30 days. The main outcomes were respiratory failure, cardiogenic shock, prolonged length of stay, rehospitalization, and death.ResultsThere were 10 506 COVID‐19 positive patients with a diagnosis of AMI. COVID‐19 positive patients with PCI had 8.2 times higher odds of respiratory failure than COVID‐19 negative patients (p = .001). The odds of prolonged length of stay were 1.7 times higher in COVID‐19 patients who underwent PCI (p = .024) and 1.9 times higher in patients who underwent coronary angiogram followed by CABG (p = .001).ConclusionThese data demonstrate that COVID‐19 positive patients with AMI undergoing early invasive coronary angiography had worse outcomes than COVID‐19 negative patients.
