Based on several studies, COVID-19 clinical outcomes are associated with co-morbidities, such as Cardiovascular Diseases (CVD). It appears that there is a relationship between the COVID-19 prognosis and the existence of CVD-related risk factors, for instance hypertension, obesity, diabetes, etc. Methods: A descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study was designed to investigate the relationship between CVD risk factors and COVID-19 with a total of 100 participants in Imam Khomeini hospital, Tehran, Iran. A checklist of anthropometric and prognostic information was filled for each patient and finally the data were analyzed. Results: There was a statistically significant dependence between hospitalization in ICU, reservoir bag-mask, intubation, life-threatening complications, and the final outcome (p<0.01). However, there was no significant correlation between CVD risk factors and prognostic parameters like length of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) hospitalization, the requirement to reserve bag-mask oxygenation, etc. Conclusion: In this investigation, no significant association was observed between CVD-related risk factors and COVID-19 prognosis among Iranian adult COVID-19 cases.
