Abstract
Background: COVID-19 has appeared as a pandemic and public health issue at a universal level. First documented as a respiratory disease, COVID-19 has been found to interrelate with and disturb the cardiovascular system causing myocardial injury and also cardiac dysfunction. Initial documentation of cardiac pathology can play a substantial role in dropping the death rate. This study emphasizes on the relationship between the serum levels of cardiac Trop I and prognosis in patients with and without pre-existing CAD in COVID-19 patients.

Aims and Objectives: The first objective was to explore the association among the serum levels of cardiac Trop I and bad prognosis in patients with antiquity of CAD and without CAD. The secondary objective was to explore and understand whether increased Trop I is an appreciated prognostic indicator for COVID-19 patient antagonistic prognosis.

Materials and Methods: This was conducted as a retrospective observational study in which a whole of 45 patients admitted in COVID Hospital of Malabar Medical College and Research Center category C were studied. The medical record of the patients whose COVID-19 confirmation done by combined conclusions of reverse transcription PCR, symptoms, and chest X-ray was studies by the team.

Results: Mean age of the study participants was 59.3 ± 13.7. Every study participants had elevated Trop I levels with a median Trop I in study subjects being 397.9. There was a statistically significant elevation in Trop I levels in patients with CAD linked with non-CAD patients with a median IQR of 641.6 and P = 0.003 and there was a significant increase in Trop I levels in patients who expired related to patients who got discharged with a median IQR of 587.3 and P = 0.003.

Conclusion: From this study, we accomplish that rise in cardiac troponin-I level is connected with elevated mortality in patients with COVID-19. Hence, it can be used as significant biomarker of disease evolution, hospitalization, and worse prognosis in COVID-19 patients.

Key words: Coronary Artery Disease; COVID-19; Mortality; Troponin I
