Emerging Topics in Heart Failure: COVID-19 and Heart Failure
Resumo A cardiomiopatia hipertr ófica (CMH) é a doença cardíaca de origem genética mais comum, cuja principal característica consiste na hipertrofia ventricular esquerda que acontece na ausência de outras patologias que desencadeiam tal alteração. A CMH pode se apresentar desde formas assintomáticas até manifestações de morte cardíaca súbita e de insuficiência cardíaca refratária. Métodos de imagem contemporâneos de alta resolução e escores clínicos mais acurados vêm sendo utilizados e desenvolvidos no sentido de propiciar uma avaliação prognóstica e funcional mais adequada, bem como possibilitar...

Analysis of a Population-Based Registry of Hospitalizations for Acute Myocardial Infarction
Conclusion: This study shows that both the therapeutic approach and hospital mortality are similar to the ones found in developed countries. However, the hospitalization rate was higher in these countries. (Source: Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia)

Ventricular Repolarization as a Tool to Monitor Electrical Activity of the Heart
Conclusions: In patients with COVID-19 and severe pneumonia, Tpe, Tpe/QT ratio, and Tpe/QTc ratio, which are among ventricular repolarization parameters, were found to be increased, without prolonged QT and QTc intervals. In this study, we cannot definitively conclude that the ECG changes observed are directly related to COVID-19 infection or inflammation, but rather associated with severe COVID-19 scenarios, which might involve other causes of inflammation and comorbidities.

Do Microvascular Reactivity Studies Contribute to Clinical Practice?
Conclusion: Anthropometric indices were more associated with %F in men. Higher body adiposity was associated with lower microvascular reactivity, which was more evident in women. There was no difference in arterial stiffness, which may have been influenced by antihypertensive treatment. (Source: Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia)

Lifestyle in the Very Elderly Matters
Conclusion: In this sample population, APOE genotypes were not associated with mortality. However, classic cardiovascular risk factors may be important for overall mortality in the very elderly. (Source: Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia)

The Unapparent Non-COVID Consequences of the COVID-19 Pandemic
Conclusion COVID-19 has led to a considerable decrease in the number of consultations in outpatient clinics for cardiology, oncology, and other specialties. There was a concerning decrease in the number of cardiac surgeries, chemotherapy sessions, and radiotherapy sessions during the initial weeks of the pandemic. The number of people seeking care in the cardiac emergency room and the number of admissions to the cardiology ward and ICU also decreased, generating concern regarding the evolution and prognosis of these patients with pathologies other than COVID-19 during this pandemic time.
