Objective: The clinical relevance of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs) in COVID-19 is controversial. This study was undertaken to investigate the prevalence and prognostic value of conventional and nonconventional aPLs in patients with COVID-19.

Methods: This was a multicenter, prospective observational study in a French cohort of patients hospitalized with suspected COVID-19.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been associated with cardiovascular complications and coagulation disorders. To explore clinical and biological parameters of COVID-19 patients with hospitalization criteria that could predict referral to intensive care unit (ICU). Analyzing the clinical and biological profiles of COVID-19 patients at admission.

Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are involved in vasculogenesis and cardiovascular diseases. However, the phenotype of circulating EPCs remains elusive but they are more often described as CD34KDR. The aim of the study was to extensively characterize circulating potential vasculogenic stem cell candidates in two populations of patients with cardiovascular disease by powerful multidimensional single cell complementary cytometric approaches (mass, imaging and flow).

Rationale: COVID-19 ARDS could differ from typical forms of the syndrome.

Objective: Pulmonary microvascular injury and thrombosis are increasingly reported as constitutive features of COVID-19 respiratory failure. Our aim was to study pulmonary mechanics and gas exchanges in COVID-2019 ARDS patients studied early after initiating protective invasive mechanical ventilation, seeking after corresponding pathophysiological and biological characteristics.

Background: Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) has been associated with cardiovascular complications and coagulation disorders.

Objectives: To explore the coagulopathy and endothelial dysfunction in COVID-19 patients.

Methods: The study analyzed clinical and biological profiles of patients with suspected COVID-19 infection at admission, including hemostasis tests and quantification of circulating endothelial cells (CECs).

Article Synopsis
  • COVID-19 can lead to serious complications like endothelial damage, prompting the study of biomarkers in patients requiring ICU care or facing respiratory decline.
  • The research involved analyzing plasma samples from 40 hospitalized COVID-19 patients, highlighting significant differences between those admitted to conventional wards and those transferred to ICU concerning various health markers.
  • The findings indicated that higher levels of angiopoietin-2 were strongly associated with poor outcomes, making it a useful predictor for ICU admission and supporting the idea of microvascular dysfunction linked to COVID-19.

SARS-CoV-2 viruses are positive single-stranded RNA viruses, whose infection can be asymptomatic or lead to the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19). Covid-19 is a respiratory infection with a significant impact on the hematopoietic system and hemostasis leading to several cardiovascular complications. Hematologic consequences of this new infection allowed medical community to start new treatment approaches concerning infection going from targeted anti-inflammatory drugs to anticoagulation or stem cell therapies.
