Article Synopsis
- Infection can lead to cardiac arrhythmias like atrial fibrillation (AF), which is linked to a significant risk of ischaemic stroke.
- A study comparing patients hospitalized with COVID-19 to those with lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI) found a higher incidence of new AF in COVID-19 patients (7.0% vs 3.6%).
- Risk factors for developing new AF during COVID-19 included older age and pre-existing heart conditions, with older age increasing the odds of AF by 3% for each year (OR 1.03).
Objective: To assess weight loss maintenance, diabetes status, mortality and morbidity 15 years after a very low calorie diet programme (VLCD) in patients with obesity.
Design: General practice data bases were interrogated for subjects coded for group therapy with VLCD in the 1990s. Causes of death, occurrence of vascular disease and remission or development of diabetes were ascertained from patient records and national stroke and cardiovascular disease data bases.
Background: Hyperinflammation and cytokine release has been associated with severe Covid-19. Hemadsorption cartridges may have a potential role in treatment of cytokine storm associated with the development of severe Covid-19.
Methods: We retrospectively examined the case records of patients with severe Covid-19 receiving adjunctive hemadsorption (HA) in our ICU.
