Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a common cardiovascular issue that has led to the development of specialized teams (PERTs) for better treatment outcomes; this report focuses on the experience of PERT in Warsaw over five years.
- The study analyzed 235 patients diagnosed with PE from September 2017 to December 2021, assessing various risk levels and treatment methods with patient outcomes tracked during their hospital stay and one-year follow-ups.
- Results showed 6.4% in-hospital mortality, with anticoagulation being the most common treatment; overall, the PERT's implementation led to tailored patient care and favorable outcomes with low complication rates.
Background: Alopecia areata (AA) is an autoimmune form of hair loss, which may affect any hair-bearing area. It has been suggested that AA is associated with an increased risk of metabolic and cardiovascular comorbidities.
Aim: To evaluate the early predictors of cardiovascular disease [endothelial function (EF) and arterial stiffness (AS)] in patients with AA without prior cardiovascular disease, and compare with healthy controls (HCs).
