In another study of 461 patients cTnI values above the 99th% URL had an increased odds ratio for death of 10:1 (2) . With IRB approval we performed a retrospective observational study of 182 consecutive SARS-2-COV PCR+ patients admitted and discharged at Barnes Jewish Hospital/Washington University Medical Center to determine if elevated cTnI was associated with poor outcomes at our institution. Yet, in the New York study the presence of pre-existing cardiovascular disease/risk factors did not affect the hazard ratios for mortality amongst patients with elevated cTnI values (3) .	./cache/cord-314649-1y3ocvz1.txt	./txt/cord-314649-1y3ocvz1.txt
