Popis: Background COVID–19 induce a robust systemic inflammation. Patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) present an increased death risk. However, many efforts are spent to identify possible predictors of negative outcomes in order to have a more specific clinical setting. CVD score are useful tools in evaluation of risk of cardiovascular events Aim: We evaluated oxygenation and characteristics in COVID–19 according to cardiovascular risk stratification performed using Framingham (FRS) and Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk scores. Material and Methods We evaluated 155 COVID–19 patients (110 males and 45 females, aged 67.43±14.72 yrs). All patients underwent to a complete physical examination, chest imaging, laboratory tests, and blood gas analysis at the time of diagnosis. Seventeen patients died (10 males and 7 females, aged 74.71±7.23 yrs) while the remaining 138 patients (100 males and 38 females, aged 66.07±15.16 yrs) were alive at discharge. Results No differences there were in Hb, C–reactive protein nor in d–dimers between the two groups. Compared to alive, died group presents a significant increase in white blood cells (p Discussion CVD may be considered as a major risk factor for death in COVID–19 patients. The increase risk relates to a reduced lung capacity but it is not related to alteration in gas exchange. Similarly, CV risk results independent from inflammatory state we found. CVD risk score may be useful to stratify patients at admittance for a better treatment
