Abstract
Myocardial injury is one of the most common comorbidity in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients,and has poor prognosis.However,the incidence of myocardial injury in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection has not been sufficiently investigated during the Omicron wave.We conducted a retrospective study of 2690 patients with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 Omicron infection from Tongji Hospital.The results indicated that the myocardial injury accounted for 30.8%of the total patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection and was associated with higher in-hospital mortality than those without injury before and after propensity score matching(PSM)[adjusted hazard ratio(HR),10.61;95%confidence interval(CI),7.76-14.51;P<0.001;adjusted HR,2.70;95%CI,1.86-3.93;P<0.001;respectively].Further,the levels of cytokines(IL-1β,IL-6,IL-10,and TNF-α)in patients with myocardial injury were higher than those without injury,and the higher levels of cytokines in the myocardial injury group were associated with increased mortality.Administration of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angio-tensin receptor blockers(ACEI/ARB)could significantly reduce the mortality in patients with myocardial injury(adjusted HR,0.52;95%CI,0.38-0.71;P<0.001).Additionally,the level of angiotensin II increased in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection was even higher in myocardial injury group compared to those without injury.Collectively,the study summarized the clinical characteristic and outcome of SARS-CoV-2 infected patients with myocardial injury during the Omicron wave in China,and validated the protective role of ACEI/ARB in improving the survival of those with myocardial injury.
