Article Synopsis
- Covid-19 infections can lead to long-term cardiovascular issues, potentially due to inflammation and damage from the virus, but it's unclear if severe cases pose a higher risk.
- A study analyzed 988 patients to compare cardiovascular complications in those with severe covid-19 versus those without, using electronic medical records for data collection.
- Results indicated that severe covid-19 is linked to increased rehospitalization for heart-related issues like endocarditis and arrhythmias, showing a lasting negative impact on cardiovascular health.
Background: The debate on percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) of the unprotected left main coronary artery (LMCA) has been constant over time.
Objective: To investigate the clinical and procedural characteristics and cardiovascular outcomes of PCI of unprotected LMCA.
Material And Methods: Observational study which included patients with unprotected LMCA disease undergoing PCI; patients with cardiogenic shock prior to the procedure were excluded.
