TL;DR: An international, multicenter cohort study including 7 hospitals in New York City and Milan of hospitalized patients with laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 who had undergone transthoracic echocardiographic (TTE) and electrocardiographic evaluation during their index hospitalization found cardiac structural abnormalities were present in nearly two-thirds of patients with myocardial injury.

TL;DR: In COVID-19 patients respiratory failure is associated with increased systemic blood pressure, conceivably due to the modulation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system by SARS-CoV-2 infection.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used multivariate Cox regression analysis to test a large spectrum of variables ranging from clinical evaluation to laboratory biomarkers to identify which parameter would best predict all-cause in-hospital mortality in COVID-19 patients.

TL;DR: CPET may be considered as a useful tool in the workup of SSc-related pulmonary hypertension and the sequential determination of the VE/VCO2 slope in DETECT-positive subjects may reduce the number of unnecessary invasive procedures without any loss in the capability to capture PAH.

TL;DR: The novelty of this observation relies on the independent positive impact of canrenone on the all-cause mortality and clinical improvement of COVID-19 patients ranging from moderate to severe diseases.
