Microcirculatory hemodynamic indexes (HI) were assessed in patients with moderate and severe COVID-19. In both groups, a significant increase in the absolute spectral indexes (HI1, HI2, and HI3) and the ratio of low-frequency to high-frequency component (HI1/HI3) was revealed. In the group of severe infection, only the "slow" index (low-frequency HI1) of microcirculatory hemodynamics was significantly lower. The oscillatory indices MAYER1-3 and RESP1-3 were reduced in patients of both groups. The aggravation of the disease course was accompanied by depression of the low-frequency index HI1. Regulatory shifts compensate for disturbances in microcirculatory processes in moderate COVID-19, but severe course was associated with their decompensation.

The advancements in cardiovascular imaging over the past two decades have been significant. The miniaturization of ultrasound devices has greatly contributed to their widespread adoption in operating rooms and intensive care units. The integration of AI-enabled tools has further transformed the field by simplifying echocardiographic evaluations and enhancing the reproducibility of hemodynamic measurements, even for less experienced operators.

Article Synopsis
- Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury can lead to both large-scale (macrocirculatory) and small-scale (microcirculatory) blood flow failures, and the study aimed to test if combining a vasoconstrictor (norepinephrine) with a vasodilator (ilomedin) improves blood pressure and circulation after injury.
- The research was conducted on 21 pigs, with three groups receiving different treatments before and after a 2-hour induced small bowel ischemia followed by reperfusion, measuring various circulatory parameters and biomarkers.
- Results showed no significant differences in mean arterial pressure or cardiac index between the groups, but the combination therapy group had notably better microcirculation performance immediately after and two

Background: Loss of hemodynamic coherence is a phenomenon in critically ill patients. Due to inflammatory events and endothelial remodeling, macro- and microhemodynamics are decoupled from each other, resulting in microcirculatory disturbances and end organ ischemia despite adequate vital parameters. So far, quantification of perfusion of vessels with < 100 μm diameter on the intensive care unit (ICU) was regularly performed with incident darkfield (IDF) microscopy.

This review discusses the pivotal role of microcirculation in maintaining tissue oxygenation and waste removal and highlights its significance in various pathological conditions. It delves into the cellular mechanisms underlying hemodynamic coherence, elucidating the roles of the endothelium, glycocalyx, and erythrocytes in sustaining microcirculatory integrity. Furthermore, the review gives comprehensive information about microcirculatory changes observed in cardiac surgery, sepsis, shock, and COVID-19 disease.

However, in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), particularly end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), fractional flow reserve (FFR) presents unique challenges. Altered coronary physiology in CKD, such as arterial stiffness and microcirculatory dysfunction, affects FFR accuracy, complicating revascularization decisions.
