COVID SCIENCE: Heart attack patients with COVID have lower survival rate
The following is a summary of some recent studies on COVID-19. They include research that warrants further study to corroborate the findings and that have yet to be certified by peer review. The researchers reviewed data on more than 80,000 people who had heart attacks in the United States in 2019 or 2020.
Among the roughly 4,000 patients who were already hospitalized when the heart attack occurred, 78.5% of those with COVID-19 died, compared to 46.1% of those without COVID-19, according to a report published on Friday in JAMA. They said more research is needed to understand why a diagnosis of COVID-19 increases the risk for death in patients having heart attacks.Early data on the efficacy of a booster dose of the COVID-19 vaccine from Pfizer Inc and partner BioNTech SE announced by the Israeli Health Ministry and now published in a peer-reviewed journal suggest a sharp reduction in risk of severe infections soon after administration.
As reported on Friday in The Lancet, those who received the booster had a 93% lower risk of COVID-19-related hospitalization, a 92% lower risk of severe illness, and 81% lower risk of COVID-19-related death.
