TL;DR: This case report describes an otherwise healthy 53-year-old woman who tested positive for CO VID-19 and was admitted to the cardiac care unit in March 2020 for acute myopericarditis with systolic dysfunction, confirmed on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, the week after onset of fever and dry cough due to COVID-19.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured serum creatinine levels on a daily basis during the hospitalization and assessed the persistence of signs of congestion at discharge in 599 consecutive patients admitted at an institute for acute heart failure (AHF).

TL;DR: Hospitalized patients with concomitant cardiac disease and COVID-19 have an extremely poor prognosis compared with subjects without a history of cardiac disease, with higher mortality, thrombo-embolic events, and septic shock rates.

TL;DR: Renal function is a powerful prognostic variable in patients with heart failure (HF) and hospitalisations for acute HF (AHF) may be associated with further worsening of renal function (WRF).

TL;DR: Overall serious adverse events after AM were lower than previously reported, however, patients with left ventricular ejection fraction <50%, ventricular arrhythmias, or low cardiac output syndrome at presentation were at higher risk compared with uncomplicated cases that had a benign prognosis and low risk of subsequentleft ventricular systolic dysfunction.
