Importance: Large cohorts of patients with active cancers and COVID-19 infection are needed to provide evidence of the association of recent cancer treatment and cancer type with COVID-19 mortality.
Objective: To evaluate whether systemic anticancer treatments (SACTs), tumor subtypes, patient demographic characteristics (age and sex), and comorbidities are associated with COVID-19 mortality.
Design, Setting, And Participants: The UK Coronavirus Cancer Monitoring Project (UKCCMP) is a prospective cohort study conducted at 69 UK cancer hospitals among adult patients (≥18 years) with an active cancer and a clinical diagnosis of COVID-19.

The function of both the denervated donor and innervated recipient sinus nodes of 14 asymptomatic cardiac transplant recipients was assessed. Tests of sinoatrial function were performed in 14 donor and 10 recipient atria. The mean spontaneous cycle length of the recipient atria was significantly longer than that of the donor atria (944 +/- 246 versus 663 +/- 158 ms, p less than 0.

The effects on the measured QT interval of intravenously administered propranolol (QTp), an infusion of isoproterenol (QTi) and left stellate ganglion block (QTs) were assessed at identical atrial paced rates and during sinus rhythm, corrected for rate change (QTc). Propranolol shortened the QTc in all patients.
