dc.description.abstract | While the acute phase of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is associated with worsening cardiac outcomes, it is unclear whether it affects the outcome of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) after the acute phase. In addition, while many studies compared the course of STEMI during the COVID-19 pandemic with the years before the outbreak, we evaluated the course of STEMI during the pandemic according to whether or not patients had history of COVID-19. Patients diagnosed with STEMI during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic were included in the study. The Ministry of Health database was analyzed retrospectively, and patients with (n = 191) and without (n = 127) a history of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) confirmed COVID-19 infection were divided into groups. Clinical and angiographic characteristics were assessed. The rates of in-hospital major adverse cardiac events (MACE) were higher in those who had a history of PCR-verified COVID-19 infection. Angiographic and procedural findings indicating successful reperfusion were better in patients without a history of COVID-19. A history of COVID-19 infection (odds ratio 1.40, 95\% confidence interval 1.25-1.60, P < .01) independently predicted MACE. A history of COVID-19 infection is a predictor of worse outcomes following coronary intervention and in-hospital MACE among patients with STEMI. | |
