High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is associated with decreased incidence of cardiovascular events, and its functionality also influences prognosis. Exercise is an important tool to improve prognosis in the post-infarction (MI) population, but the role of exercise on HDL functionality is poorly understood. Sixty-two patients with acute MI were randomized in a supervised exercise program for 12-14 weeks (exercise group-EG) or a control group (CG).

- - Fungal endocarditis is an uncommon but severe complication that can occur after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
- - A case study is presented involving a 75-year-old patient who developed this condition due to the fungus Candida albicans.
- - The patient's situation was further complicated by the formation of an aortic pseudoaneurysm.
Long-term outcomes of cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest complicating ST-elevation myocardial infarction according to timing of occurrence.

Aims: Cardiogenic shock (CS) and cardiac arrest (CA) are serious complications in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients, with lack of long-term data according to their timing of occurrence. This study sought to determine the incidence and relationship between the timing of occurrence and prognostic impact of CS and CA complicating STEMI in the long-term follow-up.
Methods And Results: We conducted a retrospective analysis of consecutive STEMI patients treated between 2004 and 2017.
Comparison between two different local hemostatic methods for dental extractions in patients on dual antiplatelet therapy: a within-person, single-blind, randomized study.

Article Synopsis
- Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is beneficial for reducing ischemic events but increases bleeding risks, prompting this study to compare the HemCon Dental Dressing (HDD) with oxidized cellulose gauze for patients undergoing dental extractions.
- The study involved 60 DAPT patients, analyzing intra-oral bleeding times and tissue healing after using either HDD or the control gauze during extractions.
- Results showed that HDD significantly reduced bleeding time (2 minutes vs. 5 minutes) and improved healing outcomes compared to the control, suggesting HDD's effectiveness in managing bleeding for patients on DAPT.
Background: Most of the evidence about the impact of the post-acute COVID-19 Syndrome (PACS) reports individual symptoms without correlations with related imaging.
Objectives: To evaluate cardiopulmonary symptoms, their predictors and related images in COVID-19 patients discharged from hospital.
Methods: Consecutive patients who survived COVID-19 were contacted 90 days after discharge.
