Abstract

Background: Evidence about COVID-19 on cardiac injury was insufficient. Objectives: To summarize available data on clinical manifestations of acute cardiac injury during the COVID-19 outbreak. Methods: A systematic literature search from December 1, 2019 to April, 12, 2020 was made of those databases: Pubmed, Embase, wanfang, CKNI, to identify all observational studies that reported presentation of cardiac injury, including acute cardiac injury, cardiac symptoms, cardiac failure, shock, arrhythmia. A random-effects model was used to pool results. Heterogeneity was assessed using I2. Publication bias was assessed using Egger's test. Results: 3863 confirmed COVID-19 infected patients from 22 studies were included in the meta-analysis. Among the patients, the incidence rate of acute cardiac injury was 18% [95%CI 12–23], chest pain (4% [95%CI 2–5]), chest distress (31% [95%CI 16–47]), and palpitations (4% [95%CI 0–7]) were the most common clinical symptoms related to acute cardiac injury. The incidence with heart failure was 22% [95%CI 17–28], the incidence with shock was 9% [95%CI 3–14], and the incidence with arrhythmia was 13% [95%CI 8–19]. Conclusions: Acute cardiac injury without clinical symptoms should be paid more attention among the confirmed COVID-19 infected patients. In addition, this highlights the need to effectively monitor heart health to prevent the cardiac complications (cardiac failure, shock, arrhythmia) in patients infected with COVID-19.
