Sex and Gender-Related Issues in Heart Failure
Understanding the role of sex- and gender-related factors, when dealing with a global growing epidemic such as heart failure, is a much needed and unmet goal for health care providers and scientists in order to design targeted strategies, aimed at improving both clinical and patient reported outcomes measures in women and men with heart failure. The present review provides an overview of the current available evidence on sex- and gender-related differences in heart failure. (Source: Cardiology Clinics)

Emerging Comorbidities in Heart Failure
Heart failure (HF), a complex clinical syndrome characterized by cardinal symptoms and signs, represents an intriguing clinical challenge for cardiologists and physicians, considering its increase in prevalence, incidence, hospitalizations, and death1; furthermore, the recent COVID-19 outbreak created novel needs in the everyday clinical practice, with the necessity of ideate new strategies of management.2 In this context, HF patients display several chronic coexisting diseases,3 strongly impacting on morbidity, mortality, and health-related quality of life.

Use and Prognostic Implications of Cardiac Troponin in COVID-19
Myocardial injury is common in patients with COVID-19 and is associated with an adverse prognosis. Cardiac troponin (cTn) is used to detect myocardial injury and assist with risk stratification in this population. SARS-CoV-2 infection can play a role in the pathogenesis of acute myocardial injury due to both direct and indirect damage of the cardiovascular system. Despite the initial concerns for an increased incidence of acute myocardial infarction, most cTn increases are related to chronic myocardial injury due to comorbidities and/or acute non-ischemic myocardial injury. This review will discuss the latest findings on t...

Impact of Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic on Cardiac Arrest and Emergency Care
The incidence of both out-of-hospital and in-hospital cardiac arrest increased during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Patient survival and neurologic outcome after both out-of-hospital and in-hospital cardiac arrest were reduced. Direct effects of the COVID-19 illness combined with indirect effects of the pandemic on patient ’s behavior and health care systems contributed to these changes. Understanding the potential factors offers the opportunity to improve future response and save lives. (Source: Cardiology Clinics)

Cardiovascular Health Care Implications of the COVID-19 pandemic
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has challenged the capacity of health care systems around the world, including substantial disruptions to cardiovascular care across key areas of health care delivery. In this narrative review, we examine the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic for cardiovascular health care, including excess cardiovascular mortality, acute and elective cardiovascular care, and disease prevention. Additionally, we consider the long-term public health consequences of disruptions to cardiovascular care across both primary and secondary care settings. Finally, we review health care inequaliti...

A Review of ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction in Patients with COVID-19
The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to a significant increase in worldwide morbidity and mortality. Patients with COVID-19 are at risk for developing a variety of cardiovascular conditions including acute coronary syndromes, stress induced cardiomyopathy, and myocarditis. Patients with COVID-19 who develop ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are at a higher risk of morbidity and mortality when compared to their age- and sex- matched STEMI patients without COVID-19. 1 We review current knowledge on the pathophysiology of STEMI in patients with COVID-19, clinical presentation, outcomes, and the ef...

Extracardiac Prothrombotic Effects of COVID-19
COVID-19 infection triggers a heightened inflammatory response which in turn, increases thrombosis and thromboembolism. Microvascular thrombosis has been detected in various tissue beds which may account for some of the multi-system organ dysfunction associated with COVID-19. Additional research is needed to understand which prophylactic and therapeutic drug regimens are best for the prevention and treatment of thrombotic complications of COVID-19.
