Identifying risk factors for heart problems in COVID-19 patients

Official title: A Multi-Dimensional Linked Registry to Identify Biological, Clinical, Health System, and Socioeconomic Risk Factors for COVID-19-Related Cardiovascular Events

Funded at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center · NIH-10819470 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is looking at what makes some people more likely to have heart problems after being hospitalized with COVID-19, so we can better understand their needs and improve their care.

Less likely to help

Patients who have not been hospitalized with COVID-19 or are under 21 years old may not benefit from this research.

What this research studies

This research investigates the risk factors that contribute to cardiovascular events in patients hospitalized with COVID-19. By linking data from a national registry with health care claims and socioeconomic information, the study aims to identify which patients are most at risk and how these events impact their health outcomes. The approach includes analyzing biological markers and clinical histories to better understand the connections between COVID-19 and heart-related issues. This comprehensive data resource will help inform personalized patient care and guide future treatment strategies.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved identification and management of patients at risk for cardiovascular complications related to COVID-19.

How similar studies have gone: Other research has shown success in identifying risk factors for cardiovascular events in various populations, suggesting that this approach could yield valuable insights.
