Good question . I believe its the number of patients admitted BECAUSE of their Covid diagnosis

According to an RN friend ...It's common to see pregnant women in delivery rooms with Covid . They are there because they are giving birth ...not because they have Covid .

Some comments from Dr Bhatt

Dr. Bhatt: Well, there's no question that COVID-19 causes a lot of cardiovascular morbidity.
Studies vary, but there's a significant chunk of patients with positive troponin, and I don't mean just low level, barely positive.
I mean, within the range that one would normally say, oh, myocardial infarction, maybe not necessarily the slope of change, but the magnitude of proponent elevations can be quite high.
There is substantial cardiovascular damage that's occurring in the context of COVID-19 related illnesses.
It seems like persistent risk, including cardiovascular risk, including cardiopulmonary risk in people that survived COVID.

Now, this is magnified in people with cardiovascular risk factors and people at older age and people with obesity and people with diabetes.
