Patients older than 65 years hospitalized with COVID-19 have higher rates of intensive care unit admission and death when compared with younger patients. Cardiovascular conditions associated with COVID-19 include myocardial injury, acute myocarditis, cardiac arrhythmias, cardiomyopathies, cardiogenic shock, thromboembolic disease, and cardiac arrest. Few studies have described the clinical course of those at the upper extreme of age. We characterize the clinical course and outcomes of 73 patients with 80 years of age or older hospitalized at an academic center between March 15 and May 13, 2020. These patients had multiple comorbidities and often presented with atypical clinical findings such as altered sensorium, generalized weakness and falls. Cardiovascular manifestations observed at the time of presentation included new arrhythmia in 7/73 (10%), stroke/intracranial hemorrhage in 5/73 (7%), and elevated troponin in 27/58 (47%). During hospitalization, 38% of all patients required intensive care, 13% developed a need for renal replacement therapy, and 32% required vasopressor support. All-cause mortality was 47% and was highest in patients who were ever in intensive care (71%), required mechanical ventilation (83%), or vasopressors (91%), or developed a need for renal replacement therapy (100%). Patients older than 80 years old with COVID-19 have multiple unique risk factors which can be associated with increased cardiovascular involvement and death.
与年轻患者相比,年龄在 65 岁以上因 COVID-19 住院的患者入住重症监护病房和死亡的比例更高。与 COVID-19 相关的心血管疾病包括心肌损伤、急性心肌炎、心律失常、心肌病、心源性休克、血栓栓塞性疾病和心脏骤停。很少有研究描述年龄处于上限的患者的临床过程。我们描述了 2020 年 3 月 15 日至 5 月 13 日期间在一家学术中心住院的 73 名 80 岁或以上的患者的临床过程和结局。这些患者有多种合并症,且经常表现出不典型的临床症状,如意识改变、全身无力和跌倒。就诊时观察到的心血管表现包括 7/73(10%)的新发心律失常、5/73(7%)的中风/颅内出血和 27/58(47%)的肌钙蛋白升高。住院期间,38%的患者需要重症监护,13%的患者需要肾脏替代治疗,32%的患者需要血管加压素支持。总死亡率为 47%,在曾接受过重症监护(71%)、需要机械通气(83%)或血管加压素(91%)或需要肾脏替代治疗(100%)的患者中死亡率最高。COVID-19 感染的 80 岁以上患者有多个独特的危险因素,这些因素可能与心血管受累和死亡的增加有关。
