| Abstract | Background: Since December 2019, a pneumonia outbreak has spread through a viral infection. Originally, the virus pathogen was termed SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2). SARS-CoV-2 can cause severe and life-threatening problems. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to describe the prognostic comparison of SARS-CoV-2 viral infection in patients with and without underlying heart disease in our center. Methods: A total of 400 Iranian adult patients with COVID-19 enrolled in this descriptive-analytical research. The study population was categorized into 4 groups: (1) no underlying disorder, (2) only cardiovascular complication, (3) only non-cardiovascular disease (CVD), and (4) cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular complications. The prognosis was adjudicated based on underlying diseases. Anthropometric details were also gathered. Finally, the data were analyzed using SPSS version 25. Results: The mortality rate was almost 4.17 times more in patients suffering from both cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular complications compared with the first group having no underlying disorders. This rate was 3.98 times more than the baseline in patients complicated with CVD alone. Based on a logistic regression model, COVID-19 prognosis was associated with age, underlying disorder type, length of hospitalization, the requirement for the intensive care unit (ICU), length of stay in ICU, the need for intubation, reservoir bag-mask requirement, and some of the life-threatening complications such as pneumonia and sepsis. Conclusions: Cardiovascular underlying disorders (such as myocarditis and deep vein thrombosis) are likely to be linked to the prognosis of COVID-19. | en |
