Article Synopsis
- ACE2 and TMPRSS2 are key genes that influence how SARS-CoV-2 enters cells, and their variations may impact COVID-19 severity and mortality.
- A study of 178 hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Serbia collected genetic data and found specific polymorphisms (rs2070788 and rs2106809) linked to reduced severity and death risk in females.
- The study concludes that these genetic variations could serve as important predictors for how severe COVID-19 can become in women.
Monitoring patients with spontaneous coronary dissection (SCAD) is critical in their care, as there are no accepted recommendations. To this end, finding clinical or imaging predictors of recurrent events in these patients is essential for predicting adverse events and guiding treatment decisions between conservative medical therapy and percutaneous coronary intervention. Myocardial injury and left ventricular function after SCAD can be variable parameters that require monitoring.

Methods: This was a retrospective study that included all patients with acute pericarditis treated from 2011 to 2019 at a tertiary referent pediatric center.
