Increased complications of COVID-19 in people with cardiovascular disease: Role of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) dysregulation

Robin Augustine et al.

Summary: The rapid spread of SARS-CoV-2 causing COVID-19 has significantly impacted public health and economies globally. Studies show a higher prevalence of cardiovascular diseases in COVID-19 patients, but understanding of the underlying mechanisms is lacking, hindering adequate risk stratification and treatment strategies for CVD patients with SARSCoV-2 infections.

Clinical presentation, disease course, and outcome of COVID-19 in hospitalized patients with and without pre-existing cardiac disease: a cohort study across 18 countries

M. Linschoten et al.

Summary: Patients with heart disease have a higher mortality rate when hospitalized with COVID-19, but there is considerable heterogeneity in the association between different heart disease subtypes and in-hospital mortality. Patients with heart failure are at greatest risk of death during hospitalization with COVID-19.

Effect of heart failure on the outcome of COVID-19-A meta analysis and systematic review

Emir Yonas et al.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis found that patients with heart failure are at increased risk for hospitalization, poor outcome, and death from COVID-19. A significant difference in mortality was observed between patients with and without heart failure, with the former group having a higher mortality rate.

Pathophysiological Association of Endothelial Dysfunction with Fatal Outcome in COVID-19

Tatsuya Maruhashi et al.

Summary: COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 poses a worldwide challenge to healthcare systems, with thromboembolism being a major complication contributing to high morbidity and mortality in severe cases. Studies suggest that the direct infection of endothelial cells by SARS-CoV-2 may lead to endothelial dysfunction, resulting in thrombotic complications and severe outcomes in COVID-19 patients.

The Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Management and Outcome in Patients with Heart Failure

Zahi Abu Ghosh et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the clinical management and survival rate of heart failure (HF) patients during the COVID-19 pandemic in Israel. It found that HF patients infected with COVID-19 had a high mortality rate, but overall mortality did not increase during the pandemic. The study also noted a significant decrease in the usage of medical services during the pandemic period.

The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Avoidance of Health Care, Symptom Severity, and Mental Well-Being in Patients With Coronary Artery Disease

Nathalie Maehl et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on primary care for CAD patients enrolled in a DMP in Germany, with some patients avoiding medical consultation due to fear of infection. Patients who did not consult a doctor were more likely to have higher anxiety levels and perceive lower influence on infection risk. Despite the majority of patients receiving sufficient medical care, a significant portion were at risk for medical undersupply and adverse health outcomes due to perceived infection risk with COVID-19.

Anti-cancer Therapy Leads to Increased Cardiovascular Susceptibility to COVID-19

Caroline Lozahic et al.

Summary: Cancer patients are at risk of cardiovascular complications due to the potential cardiac injury from anti-cancer therapy as well as the immunocompromised status making them vulnerable to COVID-19. The global pandemic status of COVID-19 has heightened the need to monitor cancer patients for cardiovascular risks, especially in the context of potential overlap with the cardiac symptoms of the virus.

Cardiovascular ACE2 receptor expression in patients undergoing heart transplantation

Johannes Bargehr et al.

Summary: This study characterized membrane-bound ACE2 expression in the myocardium and vasculature of patients undergoing heart transplantation. The study found that there was no significant difference in ACE2 expression between patients receiving ACE inhibitors and those who did not. NT-proBNP and PCWP were significantly correlated with higher ACE2 expression in cardiomyocytes.

Summary: The presence of heart failure in patients admitted with COVID-19 is associated with a higher risk of in-hospital mortality, even after adjusting for age, body mass index, and comorbidities. No significant difference in outcomes was observed between heart failure patients with preserved or reduced ejection fraction.

Respiratory viral infections in the elderly

Alastair Watson et al.

Summary: The global aging population is increasing, leading to a growing clinical need for addressing respiratory viral infections in the elderly. Current diagnostic and treatment methods are limited. To meet this need, prospective screening research, implementation of multiplex point-of-care diagnostics, and further development of novel vaccines and therapeutics are essential.
