Cardiovascular involvement is one of the end-organ complications commonly reported in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). It has also been postulated to be an independent risk factor for increased mortality in COVID-19-infected patients. With such a significant effect of COVID-19 on the cardiovascular system and vice versa, it is pivotal for physicians to observe this association closely for improving management and understanding prognosis in these patients. Here, we present three patients and describe their baseline cardiac risk factors, the cardiac complications they developed in association with COVID-19 infection, and their varying outcomes.

Heterogeneity of Apolipoprotein B Levels Among Hispanic or Latino Individuals Residing in the US.
JAMA Cardiol
January 2025
Cardiology Division, Department of Medicine, Montefiore Medical Center, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, New York.
Importance: Apolipoprotein B (apoB) distribution and its implications as an atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk-enhancing factor among individuals of diverse Hispanic or Latino backgrounds have not been described.
Objective: To describe the distribution of apoB in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos (HCHS/SOL) cohort and to characterize associations of baseline sociodemographic and clinical variables with apoB and self-identified Hispanic or Latino background.
Design, Setting, And Participants: The HCHS/SOL was a prospective, population-based cohort study of diverse Hispanic or Latino adults living in the US who were recruited and screened between March 2008 and June 2011.
Cardiovascular Disease and Breast Cancer Stage at Diagnosis.
JAMA Netw Open
January 2025
Department of Epidemiology, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston.
Importance: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cancer are the leading causes of mortality in the US. Large-scale population-based and mechanistic studies support a direct effect of CVD on accelerated tumor growth and spread, specifically in breast cancer.
Objective: To assess whether individuals presenting with advanced breast cancers are more likely to have prevalent CVD compared with those with early-stage breast cancers at the time of diagnosis.
Artificial Intelligence-Enhanced Electrocardiography for Prediction of Incident Hypertension.
JAMA Cardiol
January 2025
National Heart and Lung Institute, Imperial College London, United Kingdom.
Importance: Hypertension underpins significant global morbidity and mortality. Early lifestyle intervention and treatment are effective in reducing adverse outcomes. Artificial intelligence-enhanced electrocardiography (AI-ECG) has been shown to identify a broad spectrum of subclinical disease and may be useful for predicting incident hypertension.
