Cardiovascular outcomes in long COVID-19: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Long COVID-19 was associated with a higher risk of thromboembolic disorders [HR 3.12 (1.60, 6.08)], coronary heart disease [HR 1.61 (1.13, 2.31)], stroke [HR 1.71 (1.07,2.72)], arrhythmia [HR 1.60 (1.13, 2.26)], cardiomyopathy [HR 1.71 (1.12, 2.61)], myocarditis [HR 6.11 (4.17,8.94)], hypertension [HR 1.70 (1.56, 1.85)], heart failure [HR 1.72 (1.15,2.59)] (..)

Case Report: Can preoperative implantation of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation lead to embolic events in infective endocarditis?

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Cardiogenic shock (CGS) is often more likely to occur after AHF has taken place. If bacteria invade the blood, infectious shock can occur. Patients with IE can experience simple CGS, septic shock, or a combination of the two.

The notes now refer to the patient being in cardiogenic shock, on pressors. hours from presentation, where he was found to have an acute thrombotic LAD occlusion which was stented with resulting TIMI 3 flow, but still the patient was in severe cardiogenic shock. Time = 3 hours: the next troponin returns at 60 ng/L.

Category 1 : Sudden narrowing of a coronary artery due to ACS (plaque rupture with thrombosis and/or downstream showering of platelet-fibrin aggregates. elevated BP), but rather directly correlated with coronary obstruction (due to plaque rupture and thrombosis) and, potentially, stymied TIMI flow. This results in Type I MI.
