Hence, one potential explanation for the higher likelihood of acquiring infection, and the increased risk of severe disease and adverse outcomes in patients with COVID-19 with pre-existing CVD, maybe the elevated secretion of ACE2 in these patients, thus making them more susceptible to direct viral damage to cardiac myocytes [33] ; but, this has not yet been demonstrated in pathology studies. In a single-center, retrospective cohort study including 188 patients with COVID-19 in Wuhan, China, conducted to explore whether heart injury occurred during COVID-19 on admission and later increased mortality, approximately 11.2% of patients had high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-TnI) exceeding the clinical upper normal limit on admission. ./cache/cord-306108-ja0wyr5w.txt ./txt/cord-306108-ja0wyr5w.txt
