Presentation Traits Of Vaccinated Versus Unvaccinated Heart Failure Patients At Acute Covid-19 Hospitalization

INTRODUCTION: Severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) exhibits 25-30% mortality in hospitalized patients with heart failure (HF). Cardiovascular disease is the most significant comorbidity associated with increased mortality in COVID-19 patients with data suggesting local and sy...

description INTRODUCTION: Severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) exhibits 25-30% mortality in hospitalized patients with heart failure (HF). Cardiovascular disease is the most significant comorbidity associated with increased mortality in COVID-19 patients with data suggesting local and systemic inflammation play a critical role in cardiac functional abnormalities. SARS-CoV-2 vaccination reportedly reduces severity of infection. We sought to characterize if vaccination had any protective effect on patients with HF hospitalized for acute COVID-19. HYPOTHESIS: Baseline cardiac biomarkers including CRP, ferritin, high sensitivity cardiac troponin I (hs-cTnI), and pro-brain natriuretic peptide (pBNP) may be lower in vaccinated COVID-19 HF patients revealing the impact of vaccination on reducing inflammation by SARS-CoV-2 infection. METHODS: Electronic health records underwent IRB exempted extraction of demographics, anthropometrics, vital signs, laboratory tests, and ICD-10-CM-based Elixhauser comorbidity categories. Continuous data summarized with median [IQR] were compared using Kruskal-Wallis test and discrete data with chi-squared test. RESULTS: Among HF patients with a recorded vaccine status admitted between July 3, 2021 and March 17, 2022, 206 underwent acute COVID-19 hospitalization. Vaccinated (n=91, 44%) and unvaccinated (115, 56%) patients exhibited statistically similar distribution of males (56%), aged 78[69-86] years with comorbidities 5[4-7] distributed across Whites (88%), Blacks (8%), and other races (4%). There were no intergroup differences with most prevalent comorbidities at admission including hypertension (99%), diabetes (41%), chronic pulmonary disease (37%), obesity (36%), deficiency anemia (31%), and renal failure (25%). There were no intergroup differences in initiation of COVID-19 directed treatments. Baseline biomarkers in vaccinated versus unvaccinated were CRP 6.0[1.3-9.5] vs. 6.9[2.7-11.3] mg/dL (p=.25), ferritin 171[76-552] vs. 432[79-876] ng/mL (p=.13), LDH 245[192-317] vs. 338[260-439] U/L (p=.003), D-dimer 0.89[0.53-1.73] vs. 1.36[0.95-2.80] mg/L FEU (p=.06), hs-cTnI 27[14-67] vs. 28[16-81] ng/L (p=.39), and pro-BNP 3487[1516-7162] vs. 3278[1549 vs. 9001] pg/mL (p=.90). Clinical visit criteria respectively were hospital LOS 4.9[2.9-10.3] vs. 5.4[3.4-10.3] days (p=.27), ICU admission 10% vs. 17% (p=.15), and discharge disposition expired or Hospice 15% vs. 16% (p=.48). Rehospitalization occurred similarly between groups and was not significant. CONCLUSIONS: Acute and chronic inflammation are pathogenic drivers of HF. Inflammatory biomarkers lower among vaccinated patients with HF included CRP, ferritin, D-dimer, and hs-cTnI, although not significant. LDH, however, was significantly lower suggesting improved host widespread tissue perfusion as one mechanism of reduced severity in patients with HF undergoing SARS-CoV-2 vaccine breakthrough infection. One study caveat is that despite inclusion of all patients, these preliminary findings are likely not sufficiently powered to validate our hypothesis.
