The epidemic of the COVID-19 has expanded from Wuhan through out China, and is being exported to a growing number of countries. Recently, investigators have revealed that acute myocardial injury is existed in 7.2% patients with COVID-19, and this proportion in patients admitted to the ICU (22.2%) is higher than patients not treated in the ICU (2.0%). Thus, cardiac troponin I (cTNI), the biomarker of cardiac injury, might be a clinical predictor of COVID-19 patient outcomes. This study aims to investigate the clinical characteristics, the incidence of myocardial injury, and the influence of myocardial injury on the prognosis in COVID-19 patients.
