Abstract
Background

Descriptions on impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients with cardiac amyloidosis (CA) are lacking. Our aim was to describe the prognosis of those patients.

Methods

Retrospective observational study of unvaccinated patients with CA who developed SARS-CoV-2 infection enrolled in eleven centres (March 2020 to May 2021). Descriptive analysis of basal characteristics, hospitalization, mortality, and severe clinical course was performed. Comparisons to a population-based control group were made.

Results

Forty-one patients were identified. Most patients had wild-type transthyretin CA (61%) and were on NYHA Class II–III (80.5%). CA patients were commonly hospitalized (73.2%) and those were more symptomatic than outpatients (p=0.035). The 24.4% of CA patients died as consequence of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Patients with CA had an increased risk of hospitalization [OR 6.23 (3.05–12.74), p<0.001] and mortality [OR 2.18 (1.01–4.68), p=0.047] when compared to control population after adjustment by age and sex. After a medium follow-time of 311 days, 41.5% of the CA cohort died.

Conclusions

SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with high mortality and hospitalization rates in patients with CA, which exceed that expected by their sex and advanced age.

Resumen
Antecedentes

El impacto de la infección por SARS-CoV-2 en pacientes con amiloidosis cardíaca (AC) es desconocido. El principal objetivo de este estudio es describir el pronóstico de estos pacientes.

Métodos

Estudio observacional retrospectivo de pacientes con AC no vacunados que desarrollaron infección por SARS-CoV-2 identificados en 11 centros (marzo 2020/mayo 2021). Se realiza un análisis descriptivo de características basales, hospitalización, mortalidad y curso clínico grave, y se comparan los resultados con una cohorte poblacional.

Resultados

Cuarenta y un pacientes fueron identificados. La mayoría eran AC por transtirretina wild-type (61%) y estaban en clase NYHA II-III (80,5%). La mayoría de los pacientes fueron hospitalizados (73,2%), los cuales tenían peor clase funcional que los ambulatorios (p=0,035). El 24,4% de los pacientes fallecieron como consecuencia de la infección. Los pacientes con AC tenían un mayor riesgo de hospitalización (OR: 6,23; 3.05-12.74; p<0,001) y fallecimiento (OR: 2,18; 1,01-4,68; p=0,047) que la cohorte poblacional tras ajuste por sexo y edad. Tras un seguimiento medio de 311 días, el 41,5% de los pacientes fallecieron.

Conclusiones

La infección por SARS-CoV-2 presenta alto riesgo de mortalidad y hospitalización en pacientes con AC, mayor que la esperada por su sexo y edad.
