Primary percutaneous coronary intervention in a COVID-19 patient with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction after lung transplantation: a case report.

We present an unusual case of a patient with bilateral-lung transplantation due to severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), who subsequently suffered complications with acute myocardial infarction and underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Comprehensive assessment of the association of WNK4 polymorphisms with hypertension: evidence from a meta-analysis.

The relationship between with-no-lysine [K] kinase 4 (WNK4) gene polymorphisms and hypertension has been widely investigated, However, the studies yielded contradictory results. To evaluate these inconclusive findings comprehensively, we therefore performed a meta-analysis. Ten articles encompassing 16 independent case-control studies with 6089 hypertensive cases and 4881 normotensive controls were selected for this meta-analysis.

[Study on the efficiency of the European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) in predicting in-hospital mortality of the patients with percutaneous coronary intervention].

Objective: To investigate the efficiency of European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) in predicting in-hospital mortality for the patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Methods: Retrospective analysis was conducted on the patients who had undergone PCI in our hospital since year 2005 to 2007. We used both cumulative EuroSCORE score and logistic EuroSCORE to predict the in-hospital morality and to analyze the correlation between the predicted mortality and the actual mortality.

Risk of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy undergoing noncardiac surgery.

Objective: To determine the risk of noncardiac surgery in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Methods: We reviewed the medical records of all patients who were diagnosed as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy at Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 1998 to August 2006 and identified 24 patients who subsequently underwent noncardiac surgery.

Results: There were no intraoperative cardiac events.
