Assessments of COVID-19's impact on cardiovascular functional parameters in patients affected with myocardial infarction

Objective

Corona virus can severely affect the performance and functional parameters of the heart, causing damage to the myocardium and reducing the ejection fraction in patients with this disease. The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the changes in cardiovascular parameters such as cardiac ejection fraction, blood pressure and heart rate after myocardial infarction in patients with covid-19 and comparing it with non-covid-19 patients. Materials and Methods: In this case-control study and based on purpose-based sampling, among all the patients' files in Imam Musa bin Jafar (AS) hospital in Qochan city, who were hospitalized with a diagnosis of heart attack and since the beginning of the outbreak of the Covid-19 disease (March 2018). , 90 cases of patients with covid-19 (45 people) and non-covid-19 (45 people) were selected based on the inclusion criteria and the desired parameters were extracted from them.
