Objective: to analyze the factors associated with mortality in patients with cardiovascular disease affected by Coronavirus Disease-2019. Method: this was a cross-sectional study using data from the monitoring of notifications during the pandemic. The sample included cases with cardiovascular comorbidity and clinical outcomes. The dependent variable was the progression of the case to death. Associations were tested using the binary logistic regression method, using the Odds Ratio. Results: the prevalence was female (50.6%), elderly (71.1%), self-declared non-white (71.0%), with multiple comorbidities associated with cardiovascular disease (60.3%), diabetes being the main one (44.8%). The study suggests that patients who were men (OR 1.13; p = 0.028), elderly (OR 2.57; p = 0.000), self-declared white (OR 1.71; p = 0.000), and had multiple comorbidities (OR 1.70; p = 0.000) were associated with a greater chance of death. Conclusion: the factors associated with a higher chance of death were related to gender, age group, and the presence of comorbidities, showing the vulnerability of this population to infection.
