Repercussions of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Care Practices of a Tertiary Hospital
Conclusion COVID-19 has led to a considerable decrease in the number of consultations in outpatient clinics for cardiology, oncology, and other specialties. There was a concerning decrease in the number of cardiac surgeries, chemotherapy sessions, and radiotherapy sessions during the initial weeks of the pandemic. The number of people seeking care in the cardiac emergency room and the number of admissions to the cardiology ward and ICU also decreased, generating concern regarding the evolution and prognosis of these patients with pathologies other than COVID-19 during this pandemic time.

Evolving Outcome of Acute Myocardial Infarctions in Five Brazilian Geographic Regions Over Two Decades
Conclusions: Although AMI-related mortality has decreased in Brazil in recent years, this trend is uneven by region and gender. Correcting the numbers of deaths is essential to obtaining more reliable estimates. (Source: Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia)

Neck Circumference and 10-Year Cardiovascular Risk at the Baseline of the ELSA-Brasil Study: Difference by Sex
Conclusions: We found a positive, independent association between NC and the 10-year cardiovascular disease risk. NC may contribute to the prediction of car diovascular risk, over and above traditional anthropometric measures. (Source: Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia)

Frequency and Reasons for Non-Administration and Suspension of Drugs During an Acute Coronary Syndrome Event. The ERICO Study
Conclusions: Non-administration or suspension of ≥ 1 medication proved to be common in this ERICO study. Individuals of ≥ 65 years of age or with unstable angina showed a higher probability of the non-administration of ≥ 1 medication and may be undertreated in this scenario.

Angiotensin Receptor-Neprilysin Inhibition Therapy and Improved Exercise Parameters in Heart Failure with Reduced Ejection Fraction
Conclusions Sacubitril-valsartan therapy is associated with marked CPET improvement in VO2max, VE/VCO2slope, and exercise duration. (Arq Bras Cardiol. 2020; [online].ahead print, PP.0-0) (Source: Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia)

Ventricular Repolarization as a Tool to Monitor Electrical Activity of the Heart
Conclusion: PVV<23cm3/L was an independent predictor of one-month mortality after APE. This parameter showed better prognostic performance than other classical CTPA findings. (Arq Bras Cardiol. 2020; 115(5):809-818) (Source: Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia)
