Effects of sotatercept on haemodynamics and right heart function: analysis of the STELLAR trial
Conclusion In pre-treated patients with PAH, sotatercept demonstrated substantial improvements in PA pressures, PA compliance, PA–RV coupling and right heart function.

Establishing minimally important differences for cardiac MRI end-points in pulmonary arterial hypertension
Conclusions This study establishes clinically relevant CMR MIDs for how a patient "feels, functions or survives" in response to PAH treatment. These findings provide further support for the use of CMR as a clinically relevant clinical outcome measure and will aid trial size calculations for studies using CMR.

COPD and COVID-19: a dangerous association?
Conclusion: COPDs patients are mostly ederly men with comorbidities. The most effective treatment for them was stabilization of comorbidities and conventional oxygen and for the most severe Helmet-CPAP and NIV. In addition, COPD patients had no higher risk of mortality from COVID-19 than individuals without a pre-existing diagnosis of COPD.

Predictive factors of mechanical ventilation among critically ill adults with COVID-19
Conclusion: Among ICU admitted patients, comorbidities, neurological symptoms, elevated rate of D-dimer and CRP and important radiological damage are the main risk factors for requiring IMV.

Impact of cardiovascular disease on in-hospital mortality in patients with COVID-19
Conclusion: COVID-19 patients with CVD comorbidites have a higher risk of in-hospital death. Optimal care and good control of CVD are essential in this patient group.

Prevalence of cardiovascular disease in alpha-1 antrypsin deficiency
We present prevalence of CVD from 1158 patients with AATD who are prospectively followed up as part of the Birmingham AATD registry in the UK. All diagnoses come from either central NHS records or patient reports.The prevalence of CVD was as follows: ischaemic heart disease, 5.2%; heart failure, 0.7%, myocardial infarction, 0.9%; stroke, 1.9%; atrial fibrillation 2.4%. Hypertension and hyperlipidaemia were present in 22% and 10.7% of patients respectively. Factors associated with a higher prevalence of CVD include being male (p <0.001), older age (p <0.001), lower KCO (p = 0.008) and presence of hyperlipidaemia ...

Risk assessment of systemic sclerosis-associated pulmonary arterial hypertension: cardiac index versus stroke volume index
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) frequently complicates systemic sclerosis (SSc), with an estimated prevalence of 6.4–9% [1, 2]. Although survival has improved with the advent of PAH-specific therapy, SSc-PAH continues to have poor prognosis, with a 3-year survival of 67% [3]. Current PAH management guidelines highlight the importance of risk stratification in guiding therapy [4].

Right atrial function is associated with right venticular diastolic stiffness: RA-RV interaction in pulmonary arterial hypertension
Conclusions In PAH, RA function is associated with changes in RV function. Despite increased RA stroke work, severe RV diastolic stiffness is associated with reduced RV active filling and increased vena cava backflow. In 50% of patients with high baseline Eed, diastolic stiffness remained high, despite treatment. A reduction in Eed coincided with a large reduction in afterload, increased RV active filling and decreased vena cava backflow.

Prevalence of Cardiometabolic Disease in the Greek Sleep Apnea Patients Cohort
Conclusions: We conclude that cardiometabolic disease was very prevalent in our SAP with moderate-severe sleep apnea. Our population consisted mainly of male, obese, middle aged patients. It is of grate interest the high percentage of comorbidities, especially that of arrythmias. Further analysis is needed, in order to identify different phenotypes and the subsequent personalized therapeutic approach.

Risk contribution of comorbidities in hospitalized patients with Covid 19 pneumonia
Background: The Covid 19 pandemic has a vast socioeconomic impact worldwide. Obtaining information about the course of the disease is vital for better management.Aim: To assess the risk, comorbidities (CMs) and mortality in hospitalized patients with Covid 19 pneumonia.Methods: The information was gathered from the medical registry and statistical analysis was performed using SPSS.Results: A total of 337 patient were analyzed. Males were 197 (58,5%). Positive PCR results had 307 (91,1%) patients. Almost half of the patients were with respiratory failure on admission (47,1%). At least one comorbidity was found in 84,6%.
