Background and aims Pre-eclampsia complicates 3–5% of pregnancies worldwide and is associated with adverse outcomes for the mother and the offspring. Pre-eclampsia and heart failure have common risk factors, including hypertension, obesity and diabetes. It is not known whether heart failure increases the risk of pre-eclampsia. This study examines whether pregestational heart failure increases the risk of pre-eclampsia.

Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) is a rare disease mimicking acute coronary syndrome, often triggered by physical or emotional stress, and characterized by transient left ventricular dysfunction. Recurrences are described in about 5% of cases and may have different clinical and imaging patterns. In the present report, SARS-COV-2 infection, even in the absence of symptoms and overt emotional stress, seems correlated with recurrence of TTS, due to the absence of other recognized triggers.

General information is that fish oil supplements are beneficial for cardiovascular health. Recommendation from UK National Institute for Health and Care Excellence is that people with or at high risk of cardiovascular disease consume at least one portion of oily fish a week. Still, a report published in BMJ Medicine paints a different picture. The authors reported that the regular use of fish oil supplements might be a risk factor for atrial fibrillation among general population.
