Kounis syndrome is the concurrence of acute coronary syndromes with conditions associated with mast cell activation including allergic or hypersensitivity and anaphylactic or anaphylactoid insults. We present a case of recurrent acute myocardial infarction associated with an allergic reaction in an 83-year-old Italian woman.

Since the emergence of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), the need for an effective vaccine has appeared crucial for stimulating immune system responses to produce humoral/cellular immunity and activate immunological memory. It has been demonstrated that SARS-CoV-2 variants escape neutralizing immunity elicited by previous infection and/or vaccination, leading to new infection waves and cases of reinfection. The study aims to gain into cases of reinfections, particularly infections and/or vaccination-induced protection.

Background: Studies found an association between anemia and overall mortality and major bleeding (MB) in patients with acute venous thromboembolism (VTE), but whether anemia is causally related to death, bleeding, or recurrent VTE is uncertain.
Objectives: To explore the association between anemia at baseline and short-/long-term clinical outcomes in a prospective cohort of 928 patients with acute VTE.
Methods: We defined anemia as a hemoglobin <13 g/dL for men/< 12 g/dL for women.
Introduction: Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS) is a severe hypersensitivity reaction rarely documented in patients with multiple myeloma (MM).
Methods: In our retrospective study of 108 newly diagnosed MM (NDMM) patients from January 2021 to October 2023, we identified four cases of DRESS. The clinical characteristics such as clinical manifestations, laboratory results, treatment and outcome were analyzed.
Development and validation of a risk stratification model for stroke recurrence after acute ischemic stroke in young adults: A nomogram-based, multicenter retrospective study.

Objective: The prevalence of ischemic stroke in young adults has increased dramatically. However, factors associated with prognosis in this cohort have not been well studied. This study primary aimed to construct and validate a nomogram for predicting stroke recurrence and to achieve risk stratification of young adults after acute ischemic stroke (AIS).

Rev Port Cardiol
January 2025
Cardiology Department, Hospital Santa Cruz, Centro Hospitalar Lisboa Ocidental, Lisbon, Portugal.
Introduction And Objectives: Pulmonary vein (PV) isolation is one of the cornerstones of rhythm-control therapy for symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a novel ablation modality that involves the application of electrical pulses causing cellular death, and it has preferential tissue specificity. In this study, we aimed to share a one-year single center experience of AF ablation with PFA.
