Abstract:
Acute coronary events (ACEs) associated with a SARS-CoV-2 infection can significantly differ from classic ACEs. New biomarkers, such as ceramides, may help in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. This study included 73 ACE patients for whom the SARS-CoV-2 infection was verified. Two subgroups were formed: the favorable outcome subgroup and the fatal outcome subgroup. Plasma samples were collected from all patients at the time of admission for a metabolomic analysis. The analysis of metabolites revealed that the ceramide levels were significantly lower in the fatal outcome subgroup than in the survivor subgroup. Therefore, determining ceramide levels in patients with ACEs in conjunction with COVID-19 may help assess the prognosis of these patients and manage their risks.
