Introduction: We sought to assess the impact of SarsCov-2 vaccination on admission12-lead electrocardiogram of hospitalized patients.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed and compared admission 12-lead electrocardiograms of all patients hospitalized in dedicated Internal Medicine Unit for Covid-19 both in pre-vaccination period (PV) and after vaccination (V).
Results: 667 consecutive Covid-19 in-patients were enrolled in the study: PV hospitalized patients were older (68vs57 years, p < 0.
Background: Primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) performed for STEMI may be complicated by the "no-reflow" phenomenon.
Aims: A super-selective intracoronary injection of saline solution through a thrombus aspiration catheter (SALINE technique), was investigated for the treatment of no-reflow as compared with the standard care of therapy (SCT).
Methods: Among the 1471 patients with STEMI undergoing pPCI between May 2015 and June 2020, 168 patients developed no-reflow.
The renal resistance index (RRI) has been demonstrated to be a useful parameter that can detect patients at a high risk of worsening of renal function (WRF). This study was designed to evaluate the role of the RRI in predicting WRF mediated by the intravascular administration of contrast media. We enrolled patients who were referred for coronary angiography.

Aim: The aim of the study is to report the real-world, ten-year experience of a tertiary multidisciplinary teaching hospital.
