Overall, 107 patients (14.8%) experienced cardiac complications. The average admission duration and intensive care unit stay duration were significantly longer in patients with cardiac complications than in those without them (75.0\u00b145.3 vs 56.6\u00b148.0 days and 19.3\u00b124.1 vs 10.4\u00b115.5 days, respectively, p&lt;0.01 for both). Of the total cardiac cases, 72.9% had Troponin I elevation, 3.7% had regional wall motion abnormality, and 5.6% had atrial flutter\/fibrillation.
