For example, because outcomes were not adjudicated by independent reviewers, outpatient heart failure events were not formally captured as part of the primary endpoint. However, researchers said data on outpatient heart failure visits were collected as part of the study protocols for assessing adverse events.

With novel therapies (eg, sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors) and firmer recommendations to optimise non-cardiac comorbidities, it is unclear if outpatient HFpEF models can adequately deliver this. Methods A single-centre retrospective analysis of 202 HFpEF outpatients was performed over 12 months before the COVID-19 pandemic.

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, which reached its crescendo in the middle of the study, the researchers were able to enroll 240 patients and complete the trial, “thanks to the diligent effort and collaboration between the CERI research team, and … the departments of emergency medicine and cardiology,” Cox said.

This is a 30-something healthy patient presented with COVID pneumonia who presented to the ED. An elevated troponin in a COVID patient confers about 4x the risk of mortality than a normal one. Beware elevated troponins in COVID patients. He was moderately hypoxic. There is minimal, probably normal STE in V2-V6. 3–8 Shi et al.

Virtual wards could be the way forward to manage acute AF patients through remote monitoring, especially with the rise in global access to digital telecommunication and the growing acceptance of telemedicine post-COVID-19. Methods An AF virtual ward was implemented as a proof-of-concept care model.

In this study, the authors assessed the feasibility and diagnostic accuracy of a 5G cellular network and robotic arm-based remote echocardiographic system in an outpatient clinic based 20 kilometres away from Zhongshan Hospital. A total of 51 patients were enrolled from the outpatient cardiology clinic.
