Evaluation of Relationship Between Risk Factors of Cardiovascular Disease and Morbidity and Mortality of COVID-19 Patients

Background: the coronavirus disease 2019 (covid-19) global pandemic is a life-threatening condition with high morbidity and mortality rate in iran. based on several studies, covid-19 clinical outcomes are associated with co-morbidities, such as cardiovascular diseases (cvd). it appears that there is a relationship between the covid-19 prognosis and the existence of cvd-related risk factors, for instance hypertension, obesity, diabetes, etc. methods: a descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study was designed to investigate the relationship between cvd risk factors and covid-19 with a total of 100 participants in imam khomeini hospital, tehran, iran. a checklist of anthropometric and prognostic information was filled for each patient and finally the data were analyzed.results: there was a statistically significant dependence between hospitalization in icu, reservoir bag-mask, intubation, life-threatening complications, and the final outcome (p<0.01). however, there was no significant correlation between cvd risk factors and prognostic parameters like length of intensive care unit (icu) hospitalization, the requirement to reserve bag-mask oxygenation, etc. conclusion: in this investigation, no significant association was observed between cvd-related risk factors and covid-19 prognosis among iranian adult covid-19 cases.
