The COVID-19 pandemic in China: from dynamic zero-COVID to current policy
Herz. 2023 Jun 9:1-3. doi: 10.1007/s00059-023-05183-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOn 8 January 2023, after 3 years of pandemic control, China changed its management of COVID-19, applying measures against class B infectious diseases instead of Class A infectious diseases. This signaled the end of the dynamic zero-COVID policy and the reopening of the country. With a population of 1.41 billion, China's reopening policy during the COVID-19 pandemic has been characterized by a scientific, gradual, and cautious approach. Several factors contributed to the reopening policy, including an expansion of healthcare capacity, the w...

Has COVID-19 changed the spectrum of arrhythmias and the incidence of sudden cardiac death?
Herz. 2023 Jun 5:1-6. doi: 10.1007/s00059-023-05186-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTArrhythmic manifestations of COVID-19 include atrial arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter, sinus node dysfunction, atrioventricular conduction abnormalities, ventricular tachyarrhythmias, sudden cardiac arrest, and cardiovascular dysautonomias including the so-called long COVID syndrome. Various pathophysiological mechanisms have been implicated, such as direct viral invasion, hypoxemia, local and systemic inflammation, changes in ion channel physiology, immune activation, and autonomic dysregulation. The development o...
