Objective To unveil the prognostic effect of myocardial injury markers and NT⁃proBNP on patients aged ≥75 years with coronavirus disease⁃19(COVID⁃19).Methods A total of 141 consecutive patients aged ≥75 years who were admitted to the hospital between 12th and 19th February 2020. In⁃hospital death,clinical characteristics and myocardial injury markers and NT ⁃ proBNP on admission were obtained from medical records. The association of myocardial markers evaluated by LDH,CK,CK ⁃MB,AST,ALT,hs ⁃TnI,and NT ⁃ proBNP were collected. Results 18(12.8%)patients died,including 11(61.1%)male and 7(38.9%)female. Patients with elevated level of LDH,hs⁃TnI,and NT⁃proBNP had significantly higher risk of death than those in discharged group(P < 0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the area under curves of NT⁃proBNP was the highest(0.94), followed by hs⁃TnI(0.88). When the cutoff value of NT⁃proBNP was 1 025 ng/L,the positive predictive value was 94.40% ,the negative predictive value was 89.40%. Conclusions Myocardial injury and elevated NT ⁃proBNP levels are common in elderly patients with COVID⁃19,
