Correlation Between Cardiac Markers and Severity of COVID-19

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
By July 9, 2020, the global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection had resulted in over 11.8 million confirmed cases and over 545000 deaths. Patients with a history of cardiovascular disease are especially vulnerable and have a bad prognosis. According to the findings, cardiac injury manifested by cardiac biomarker elevation is detected in a significant number of COVID-19 patients and is linked to poor outcomes and mortality. However, it is unclear how effective cardiac biomarkers are in COVID-19 prognosis and how to use these indicators.

Detailed Description
-----------------
The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has led to >11.8 million confirmed cases with >545000 deaths worldwide by July 9, 2020 Patients with preexisting cardiovascular conditions are particularly at risk and have poor prognosis data suggest that cardiac injury, manifested by cardiac biomarker elevation, is detected in a sizable of COVID-19 patients and is associated with adverse outcomes and increased mortality. However, how useful cardiac biomarkers are in COVID-19 prognosis and how to utilize these markers have not been well defined The study will include all moderate to severe COVID 19 patients admitted to ICU. Both genders within the age group 18-60 years were included. The primary outcome is the relation between cardiac markers and mortality rate in critically ill COVID 19 patients The secondary outcome is the relationship between cardiac and inflammatory and coagulation markers
