Article Synopsis
- The study examined how clinical management of nonST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) differs between men and women, focusing on in-hospital events based on biological sex.
- A total of 1,020 patients were enrolled, with women being older and frailer on average; they were less likely to undergo timely coronary angiography compared to men.
- Despite differences in prescribed antithrombotic therapies, there were no significant disparities in the rates of coronary revascularization or in-hospital cardiovascular events between the sexes.
Purpose Of Review: Implementation of advanced echocardiographic techniques in cardio-oncology is a growing need as they are the cornerstone of early detection of cancer therapy-related cardiovascular toxicity (CTR-CVT).
Recent Findings: Three-dimensional echocardiography and myocardial deformation techniques have shown more accuracy and reproducibility than classic 2D measurements in detecting cardiovascular adverse effects in patients undergoing anticancer therapies. Application of advanced echo techniques to daily monitoring of patients with cancer helps to identify those at risk of developing CTR-CVT during and after cancer treatment.
Aims And Objectives: Statins have been proposed as potentially useful agents for modulating the host response in COVID-19. However, solid evidence-based recommendations are still lacking. Our aim was to study the association between statin use and clinical outcomes in a large cohort of hospitalized patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection, as well as the specific consequences of chronic treatment withdrawal during hospital admission.

The benefits of mechanical support in refractory shock should be balanced against the patient's potential for neurological recovery. To date, these early treatment decisions have been taken based on limited information leading mainly to undertreatment.

Coagulopathy has been associated with the inflammatory phase of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and might be involved in this concurrency.
Cases Report: We describe 2 patients with previous mild or no symptoms of COVID-19, admitted for acute stroke with recent/simultaneous myocardial infarction in whom admission polymerase chain reaction was negative but serologic testing diagnosed COVID-19.
