Article Synopsis
- The study focused on COVID-19 patients in the Philippines who have existing coronary artery disease (CAD) or heart failure (HF) to analyze their health outcomes compared to those without these conditions.
- Data from the Philippine CORONA Study revealed that patients with CAD/HF experienced more severe COVID-19 symptoms, higher rates of mortality (especially related to cardiac issues), longer hospital stays, and increased respiratory failure.
- Findings indicate that even after considering other health factors, having CAD or HF significantly raised the odds of dying from cardiac causes in COVID-19 patients.
