Current data indicate the existence of post-acute COVID-19 syndrome frequently expressing as cardiovascular and respiratory health issues. The long-term evolution of these complications is not yet fully known or predictable. Among the most common clinical manifestations of post-acute COVID-19 syndrome are dyspnea, palpitations, and fatigue, in most cases being transient and without underlying any morphological or functional changes.

The purpose of this study is to assess the role of TLR2 and TLR4 gene expression as an early marker for the risk of doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy in correlation with early diastolic dysfunction in patients treated with doxorubicin. Our study included 25 consecutive patients who received treatment with doxorubicin for hematological malignancies (leukemia, lymphomas or multiple myeloma), aged 18-65 years, with a survival probability>6 months and with left ventricular ejection fraction>50%.

Respecting the inclusion criteria were selected 32 patients with ischemia chronic failure in early postoperative period after CABG. The main improvements induced by magnesium orotate are the increase in exercise capacity (distance ambulated during 6 minutes walk test and ergospirometric parameters) and the reduction of ventricular premature beats.
