Mercedes BR, Serwat A, Naffaa L, et al. - Researchers retrospectively reviewed the paper records of 15 COVID-19 pregnant patients who developed myocardial injury with ventricular dysfunction to describe their clinical, laboratory, radiological findings, and outcomes. In a single tertiary care hospital in the Dominican Republic, 154 pregnant patients were diagnosed with COVID-19 during the study period; of these, 15 (9.7%), developed myocardial injury. Findings revealed that pregnant women with COVID-19 induced myocardial injury and left ventricular dysfunction had a 13.3% mortality rate which was attributed to malignant arrhythmias.
