Update on heart disease

New Swindon data

https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/myocarditis_and_pericarditis#incoming-2202123

Further to our response to this request which was provided on 30th November 2022, an error has been found in the figures that were originally provided in relation to ED attendances for Myocarditis and Pericarditis.

This was a formula error that occurred during the process of simplifying the data into a pivot table. The value that was displayed was the sum total of a numeric value within the raw data, specifically a row count, as the years progressed the row count increased meaning the sum was greater. The value displayed should have been a count and not a sum.

I have provided the correct information in attached spreadsheet. Please accept my sincere apologies for this. Please be assured that this was a genuine error and that we have implemented an additional checking process for requests that ask for statistical information in the future.

Fever (51%)

Shortness of breath (51%)

Cough (39%)

Fatigue (15%)

Myalgia (12%)

Diarrhea (12%)

Laboratory tests

Leukocytosis with neutrophil predominance

Elevated D-dimer

C-reactive protein

Cardiac markers including troponin-1, troponin-T

Radiographic imaging

31% of chest X-rays showed cardiomegaly and or bilateral infiltration.

Cardiac tamponade

Electrocardiography (ECG)

59% of cases, ST elevation,

The prevalence of COVID-19-related cardiac diseases is high, and pericarditis is a known extrapulmonary manifestation.
