Аннотация

To study the features of the course of myocardial infarction in older people who have undergone COVID-19. Analysis of the prevalence of concomitant pathologies in elderly patients who have had myocardial infarction showed that most of them belong to the group of patients who have undergone COVID-19. Patients with concomitant CVD and / or traditional cardiovascular risk factors, especially in old age, belong to a particularly vulnerable cohort, characterized by a severe course of COVID-19, and exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 virus and other pathogenic factors with toxic, pro-inflammatory pro-inflammatory effects, can lead to decompensation of concomitant CVD, including the development of myocardial infarction.
