In addition to lung damage, many COVID-19 patients are also developing heart problems — and dying of cardiac arrest.

Cardiac arrest 心脏骤停

As more data comes in from China and Italy, as well as Washington state and New York, more cardiac experts are coming to believe the COVID-19 virus can infect the heart muscle. An initial study found cardiac damage in as many as 1 in 5 patients, leading to heart failure and death even among those who show no signs of respiratory distress.

随着越来越多来自中国与意大利的数据，对照华盛顿州与纽约州的数据，心脏医学专家们相信新冠病毒会感染心肌。早期的的研究发现有1/5的新冠患者发生心脏功能损伤导致的心脏衰竭与死亡，这其中包括那些一点呼吸疾病症状的人们。

In March, doctors from China published two studies that gave the first glimpse at how prevalent cardiac problems were among patients with COVID-19 illness. The larger of the two studies looked at 416 hospitalized patients. The researchers found that 19% showed signs of heart damage. And those who did were significantly more likely to die: 51% of those with heart damage died versus 4.5% who did not have it.

在三月份，来自中国的医生们发布了两篇研究，这两份研究让我们初步了解了流行性心脏疾病在2019新冠病毒感染患者中的症状情况。这两份研究主要观察了416名住院的感染患者，发现有19%的患者表现出心脏损伤的迹象。有严重心脏损伤的患者很容易死亡：51%的心脏损伤感染者死亡对比4.5%的没有心脏损伤感染者死亡。

Patients who had heart disease before their coronavirus infections were much more likely to show heart damage afterward. But some patients with no previous heart disease also showed signs of cardiac damage. In fact, patients with no preexisting heart conditions who incurred heart damage during their infection were more likely to die than patients with previous heart disease but no COVID-19-induced cardiac damage.

那些在感染新冠前就有心脏疾病的病人在感染后很容易呈现出心脏损伤。但是有些没有心脏疾病的病人在感染后才呈现心脏受损的迹象。实际上在感染前没有心脏问题感染后导致心脏损伤的病人相对感染前有心脏疾病但是没有新冠导致的心脏损伤的病人很容易死亡
