abstract = {Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 2
(SARS-CoV-2) infection can lead to life-threatening clinical
manifestations. Patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD)
are at higher risk for severe courses of COVID-19. So far,
however, there are hardly any strategies for predicting the
course of SARS-CoV-2 infection in CVD patients at hospital
admission. Thus, we investigated whether this prediction is
achievable by prospectively analysing the blood
immunophenotype of 94 nonvaccinated participants, including
uninfected and acutely SARS-CoV-2-infected CVD patients and
healthy donors, using a 36-colour spectral flow cytometry
panel. Unsupervised data analysis revealed little
differences between healthy donors and CVD patients, whereas
the distribution of the cell populations changed
dramatically in SARS-CoV-2-infected CVD patients. The latter
had more mature NK cells, activated monocyte subsets,
central memory CD4+ T cells, and plasmablasts but fewer
dendritic cells, CD16+ monocytes, innate lymphoid cells, and
CD8+ T-cell subsets. Moreover, we identified an immune
signature characterised by CD161+ T cells, intermediate
effector CD8+ T cells, and natural killer T (NKT) cells that
is predictive for CVD patients with a severe course of
COVID-19. Thus, intensified immunophenotype analyses can
help identify patients at risk of severe COVID-19 at
hospital admission, improving clinical outcomes through
specific treatment.},
