Introduction. The pandemic caused by the Sars-Cov-2 virus has made it possible to focus on the study of inflammatory markers of severity, epidemiological and clinical data that allow predicting the patient's prognosis. Research from other countries has shown that the elevation of cardiac enzymes has been correlated with cardiac damage in patients with COVID-19, especially in patients with associated comorbidities. Objective: The main objective is to determine if there is a relationship between comorbidities (DM II and HTA) and the elevation of cardiac enzymes in infected patients.  Methodology: Prospective observational study in which the sample was collected from the Hospital General de Enfermedades zona 9 (IGSS) and a total of 546 patients were selected.  Results: There is no statistically significant difference between elevated cardiac enzymes levels (CKMB, Troponin I) and patients with a history of DM II and HTA (p= 0.6748).   Conclusion: No significant difference of creatine kinase MB or troponin I was shown bewteen the groups with and without comorbidities.
