The study compares two groups of patients with acute coronary syndrome, depending on the presence of COVID-19 in the anamnesis. The comparison groups analyzed the risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, including smoking, heredity, gender differences, age, diabetes, and obesity. The results of biochemical blood tests were analyzed. It was found that patients with acute coronary syndrome who underwent COVID-19 were less likely to have risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Patients with acute coronary syndrome who underwent COVID-19 were found to have lower blood glucose, cholesterol, very-low-density lipoprotein, and triglycerides. As a result of the study, it was revealed that COVID-19 is an independent risk factor for the development of acute coronary syndrome.
