[Differences among renin-angiotensin system inhibitor drugs in prognosis of hypertense patients with COVID-19].

Introduction: Concerns have been raised about Renin-angiotensin system inhibitors (RASi) in patients with COVID-19. Although recent trials have proved its security, evidence regarding intrinsic differences between RASi is lacking, especially in patients with arterial hypertension. Our objective was to analyse the prognosis of hypertense patients who received angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) or angiotensin-2 receptor blockers (ARBs) and were hospitalized due to COVID-19.

Comparative analysis between the use of renin-angiotensin system antagonists and clinical outcomes of hospitalized patients with COVID-19 respiratory infection.

Introduction: Hypertension has been associated with worse outcomes in patients with COVID-19 infection, so concerns have been raised about the possibility that inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) could influence the prognosis of these patients.

Methods: This is an observational study of 921 consecutive patients admitted with COVID-19 respiratory infection to Hospital General Universitario Ciudad Real from March 1 to April 30, 2020. Following data were collected including patient demographic information, medical history, clinical characteristics, laboratory data, therapeutic interventions during the hospitalization and clinical outcomes.

Impact of Treatment with Renin-Angiotensin System Inhibitors on Clinical Outcomes in Hypertensive Patients Hospitalized with COVID-19.

Introduction: Concerns have been raised about the possible harmfulness of angiotensin-converter enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) and aldosterone receptor blockers (ARB) in patients with COVID-19. However, few data from a European population have been published, especially from hypertensive patients.

Aim: To study the association between ACEi or ARB treatments and major adverse outcomes during hospitalisation in COVID-19 patients.

Atrial fibrillation in patients on haemodialysis in Andalusia. Prevalence, clinical profile and therapeutic management.

Unlabelled: Atrial fibrillation (AF) represents an important social and healthcare problem. There is wide variability in the prevalence of this arrhythmia in studies analysing patients on haemodialysis (HD).

Objective: To investigate the prevalence, clinical profile and therapeutic management of patients with AF on HD in Andalusia.

Resolution of left ventricular thrombus by rivaroxaban.

Intracardiac thrombus is a potentially life-threatening condition, with a high risk of embolic complications. Although vitamin K antagonists have been traditionally used for the treatment of intracardiac thrombus, they have relevant disadvantages that limit their use. Rivaroxaban is a once daily oral anticoagulant, currently indicated for the prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation, and for the prevention and treatment of venous thromboembolism.

[Asymptomatic infection by influenza AH1N1 virus in healthcare workers: MARBEGRIP study, preliminary results].

Background: The proportion of asymptomatic individuals infected by influenza AH1N1v varies depending on the studies. Health personnel were exposed to the AH1N1v virus due to their professional activity, thus an high seroprevalence to the virus could be expected in the absence of symptomatology. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of asymptomatic individuals serologically positive for influenza AH1N1v virus.
