Cerebrovascular Complications of COVID-19 and COVID-19 Vaccination
Circ Res. 2022 Apr 15;130(8):1187-1203. doi: 10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.122.319954. Epub 2022 Apr 14.ABSTRACTThe risk of stroke and cerebrovascular disease complicating infection with SARS-CoV-2 has been extensively reported since the onset of the pandemic. The striking efforts of many scientists in cooperation with regulators and governments worldwide have rapidly brought the development of a large landscape of vaccines against SARS-CoV-2. The novel DNA and mRNA vaccines have offered great flexibility in terms of antigen production and led to an unprecedented rapidity in effective and safe vaccine production. However, as mass vac...

Cardiac Registries During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Lessons Learned
AbstractPurpose of this ReviewWe discuss the role of observational studies and cardiac registries during the COVID-19 pandemic. We focus on published cardiac registries and highlight contributions to the field that have had clinical implications.Recent FindingsWe included observational studies of COVID-19 patients published in peer-reviewed medical journals with defined inclusion and exclusion criteria, defined study design, and primary outcomes. A PubMed and MEDLINE literature review results in 437 articles, of which 52 include patients with COVID-19 with cardiac endpoints. From July 2020 to December 2021, the average tim...

Internal Mammary Artery and Its Resilience to Atherogenesis: Shifting From Risk to Resistance to Address Unmet Needs
Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol. 2021 Jun 10:ATVBAHA121316256. doi: 10.1161/ATVBAHA.121.316256. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFueled by the global surge in aging, atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease reached pandemic dimensions putting affected individuals at enhanced risk of myocardial infarction, stroke, and premature death. Atherosclerosis is a systemic disease driven by a wide spectrum of factors, including cholesterol, pressure, and disturbed flow. Although all arterial beds encounter a similar atherogenic milieu, the development of atheromatous lesions occurs discontinuously across the vascular system. Indeed, the in...

Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Complications With COVID-19
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 has affected the health of people across the globe. Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have a significant relationship with COVID-19, both as a risk factor and prognostic indicator, and as a complication of the disease itself. In addition to predisposing to CVD complications, the ongoing pandemic has severely affected the delivery of timely and appropriate care for cardiovascular conditions resulting in increased mortality. The etiology behind the cardiac injury associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 i...

Lipoprotein(a) and Its Potential Association with Thrombosis and Inflammation in COVID-19: a Testable Hypothesis
AbstractPurpose of ReviewThe COVID-19 pandemic has infected over> 11 million as of today people worldwide and is associated with significant cardiovascular manifestations, particularly in subjects with preexisting comorbidities and cardiovascular risk factors. Recently, a predisposition for arterial and venous thromboses has been reported in COVID-19 infection. We hypothesize that besides conventional risk factors, subjects with elevated lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) may have a particularly high risk of developing cardiovascular complications.Recent FindingsThe Lp(a) molecule has the propensity for inhibiting endogenous fibrin...

The Emerging Threat of (Micro)Thrombosis in COVID-19 and Its Therapeutic Implications.
Abstract The recent emergence of SARS-CoV-2 and the ensuing global pandemic has presented a health emergency of unprecedented magnitude. Recent clinical data has highlighted that COVID-19 is associated with a significant risk of thrombotic complications ranging from microvascular thrombosis, venous thromboembolic disease and stroke. Importantly, thrombotic complications are markers of severe COVID-19 and are associated with multi-organ failure and increased mortality. The evidence to date supports the concept that the thrombotic manifestations of severe COVID-19 is due to the ability of SARS-CoV-2 to invade endo¬...
