Conditions
Brief summary
Patients with pre-existing cardiovascular disease (CVD) have been shown to have a higher mortality from COVID-19 than the general population. Early data from small case series suggests that cardiac complications such as acute cardiac injury, myocarditis and cardiomyopathy are common in patients with COVID-19. Given COVID-19 has become a pandemic, urgent data is required to better understand the cardiovascular sequelae of the infection as well as the effects of pre-existing CVD. The AUS-COVID registry will provide this time critical data needed by clinicians and health services to be better prepared to manage these patients.
Interventions
Patients who are hospitalised with acute SARS-CoV-2 infection. Patients will only be observed until discharge from hospital or termination of the study (whichever comes first). Data will be collected from hospital medical records. There will not be any follow up outside of hospital.
