Warfarin anticoagulation in the Covid-19 pandemic: Telephone-based management at a regional hematology outpatient center in Joinville, Brazil
Oral anticoagulation (OA) is a well-established therapeutic approach for prevention of cardioembolic stroke and venous thromboembolism [1]. Adequate OA is a key element in reducing the high social burden, morbidity and mortality associated with cardiovascular diseases [2 –4]. In January 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a public health emergency of international concern. Since then, the strategy of social distancing has been adopted in most countries, with varying degrees of restriction and compliance.

COVID-19 Impact on Acute Ischemic Stroke Treatment at 9 Comprehensive Stroke Centers across Los Angeles
Conclusion: LAC saw a decrease in overall stroke code activations in 2020 compared to 2019. Reperfusion treatment times remained comparable to prepandemic metrics. There has been an increase in severe stroke incidence and higher volume of thrombectomy treatments in Latinx communities within LAC during the pandemic of 2020. More patients were discharged home, less patients discharged to skilled nursing facilities, and more patients expired in 2020, compared to the same time frame in 2019.Cerebrovasc Dis

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...

Interpretation of myocardial injury subtypes in COVID-19 disease per fourth version of universal definition of myocardial infarction
Conclusions: Objective description of myocardial injury according to the 4th UDMI in current COVID-19 pandemic is crucial in order to discriminate patients with acute myocardial infarction and acute, chronic or incident myocardial injury.PMID:33998352 | DOI:10.1080/1354750X.2021.1921031

Concurrent Stroke and Myocardial Infarction After Mild COVID-19 Infection
Conclusions: Our experience with these cases suggests that patients with mild symptoms can also present thromboembolic complications once the acute phase of COVID-19 infection has passed.

Impact of the pandemic of COVID-19 on emergency attendance for stroke and acute myocardial infarction in Beijing, China
This study covered from 03/01/2018 to 06/03/2020, including 19  weeks of lockdown period and 99 weeks before. A segmented Poisson regression model was used to estimate the immediate change and the monthly change in the secular trend of the emergency attendance rates. The emergency attendance rates of stroke and AMI cut in half at the beginning of the lockdown period, with 52.1% (95% CI 45.8% to 57.7%) and 63.1% (95% CI 56.1% to 63.1%) immediate decreases for stroke and AMI, respectively. Then during the lockdown period, 7.0% (95% CI 2.5%, 11.6%) and 16.1% (95% CI 9.5, 23.1) increases per month in the secular trends of em...

Viruses, Vol. 13, Pages 700: Long-COVID and Post-COVID Health Complications: An Up-to-Date Review on Clinical Conditions and Their Possible Molecular Mechanisms
id J Alzahrani Aristóteles Góes-Neto Vasco Azevedo Preetam Ghosh Debmalya Barh The COVID-19 pandemic has infected millions worldwide, leaving a global burden for long-term care of COVID-19 survivors. It is thus imperative to study post-COVID (i.e., short-term) and long-COVID (i.e., long-term) effects, specifically as local and systemic pathophysiological outcomes of other coronavirus-related diseases (such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS)) were well-cataloged. We conducted a comprehensive review of adverse post-COVID health outcomes and potential long-COV...
