Article Synopsis
- The 'shark-fin' ECG-sign is an uncommon heart rhythm that indicates serious heart issues, especially in acute coronary syndrome (ACS), suggesting a worse outcome for patients.
- Its presence in cases of acute aortic syndromes, like aortic dissection, hasn't been thoroughly studied.
- This text discusses a specific case of a patient who arrived at the emergency department with chest pain and exhibited the shark-fin ECG pattern, highlighting its potential significance in diagnosing severe aortic conditions.
Introduction: The postoperative hemodynamic management after lung transplant (LUTX) is guided by limited evidence. We aimed to describe and evaluate risk factors and outcomes of postoperative vasoactive support of LUTX recipients.
Methods: In a single-center retrospective analysis of consecutive adult LUTX, two cohorts were identified: (1) patients needing prolonged vasoactive support (>12 h from ICU admission) (VASO+); (2) or not (VASO-).
Background: Gender-related factors might affect vulnerability to Covid-19. The aim of this study was to describe the role of gender on clinical features and 28-day mortality in Covid-19 patients.
Methods: Observational study of Covid-19 patients hospitalized in Bergamo, Italy, during the first three weeks of the outbreak.
Treatment with noninvasive ventilation (NIV) in coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is frequent. Shortage of intensive care unit (ICU) beds led clinicians to deliver NIV also outside ICUs. Data about the use of NIV in COVID-19 is limited.

The aim of this study was to investigate predictors of overall 28-day mortality at the peak of the Italian outbreak.
Methods: Retrospective observational study of all COVID-19 patients admitted to the main hospital of Bergamo, from February 23 to March 14, 2020.
