Short and long-term survival in patients hospitalized due to COVID-19 in relation to cardiovascular risk factors and established cardiovascular diseases: the Cor-Cardio Study.
The clinical presentation of COVID‑19 may range from asymptomatic infection to severe disease. Previous studies reported a relationship between the course of COVID‑19 and a history of cardiovascular (CV) disease (CVD). ⋯ Established CVD and CKD were the main predictors of mortality during both the hospitalization and the follow‑up in the patients hospitalized for COVID‑19, while the use of CV drugs during the hospitalization was associated with better prognosis. The presence of CV risk factors did not increase the odds of in‑hospital and postdischarge death.
