Reversible cardiac dysfunction in severe COVID-19 infection, mechanisms and case report.

ABSTRACT: A previously healthy 49-year-old male patient presented with COVID-19 infection and required mechanical ventilation and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation due to severe hypoxemia. Echocardiography showed cardiac dysfunction with an apical sparing strain pattern, which rapidly normalized within a week. Apical sparing myocardial strain in patients with COVID-19 infection may suggest reverse-type stress cardiomyopathy.

Project description:Cardiotoxicity is the most important side effect of cancer therapy resulting in increased patient morbidity and mortality, therefore understanding its occurrence mechanism and a correct and early diagnosis are essential for patients at risk of irreversible heart failure. We present the case of a patient who developed cancer therapeutics-related cardiac dysfunction, emphasizing the importance of regular echocardiographic evaluation for early detection of subclinical cardiac dysfunction and further cardiac monitoring. More sensitive parameters should be used to predict cardiotoxicity because the probability of cardiac function recovery diminishes in time, despite optimal heart failure treatment.

Fulminant Delta COVID-19 myocarditis: a case report of fatal primary cardiac dysfunction.

Project description:BackgroundWhilst myocarditis or myocardial injury due to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection is commonly reported, profound primary cardiac dysfunction requiring mechanical circulatory support, with the development of fulminant myocarditis prior to respiratory failure, is rarely described. The endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) findings in these patients is seldom reported, the findings are varied, and effective treatment unknown.Case summaryA 39-year-old female with no significant past medical history and confirmed Delta variant coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection (Day 3), presented with a 1 day history of diarrhoea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. The patient denied respiratory symptoms and chest X-ray was clear. Lactate level was 6.3, initial troponin T 118 ng/L. Despite resuscitation, the patient significantly deteriorated in the emergency department, resulting in pulseless electrical activity arrest requiring veno-arterial extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Over the following 36 h, cardiac function deteriorated to near-complete left ventricular (LV) standstill. Coronary angiography revealed normal coronary arteries with slow flow. Endomyocardial biopsy showed diffuse interstitial macrophage infiltrate and small vessel thromboses. Left ventricular function did not improve over the following 7 days, and despite treatment with tocilizumab, high-dose steroids, and intravenous immunoglobulin, she eventually died due to disease-related complications.DiscussionPrimary cardiac dysfunction secondary to COVID-19 infection is rarely reported. Little is known about the incidence, natural history, and pathophysiology of fulminant COVID-19 myocarditis. We present the most severe case of cardiac dysfunction due to COVID-19 reported in a young patient without respiratory compromise who never recovered from any cardiac function.

Dose determination of VV116 in COVID-19 patients with severe liver dysfunction: a case report.

Project description:VV116 is an oral antiviral drug against SARS-CoV-2, known for its favorable efficacy and safety profile. But its application in patients with severe liver dysfunction has not been evaluated. Here, we report a case in which a patient with aplastic anemia and liver impairment (recovery phase of acute liver failure) was infected with SARS-CoV-2. Based on clinical trials and pharmacokinetic analysis about VV116, we initiated a reduced dose of 300 mg every 12 h on day 1, 200 mg every 12 h on days 2-5 for antiviral therapy. Finally, the patient's viral load rapidly dropped to an undetected level, and no drug-related adverse effects were observed.

Nosocomial COVID-19 infection mortality following surgery for severe progressive cervical myelopathy: a case report.

Project description:IntroductionWe present the unique case of a nosocomial COVID infection acquired after urgent surgical intervention for cervical myelopathy, as well as the sequelae that followed in the postoperative period.Case presentationAn initially COVID-negative patient underwent urgent surgical intervention for cervical myelopathy with significant neurological deterioration. She underwent an uncomplicated staged anterior cervical discectomy and fusion with corpectomy, as well as a subsequent posterior cervical instrumented fusion within the same hospitalization. The patient would refuse to adhere to standard COVID precautions during her admission and demonstrated rapid decompensation following her particularly uneventful surgeries, ultimately leading to her expiration. A laboratory test confirmed that she had contracted COVID at the time of the patient's death.DiscussionThis report highlights the repercussions of COVID-19 infection during the perioperative period and its implications on surgical outcomes. The stresses of surgery and the body's immunosuppressive responses during this time place patients at particular risk for the contraction of this virus. The standard precautions should be followed and vaccination should be considered for surgical candidates prior to their operations, as they become more readily accessible.

Severe cortical damage associated with COVID-19 case report.

Project description:Symptoms of COVID-19, as reported during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in 2019-2020, are primarily respiratory and gastrointestinal, with sparse reports on neurological manifestations. We describe the case of a 17-year old female with Cornelia de Lange syndrome and well controlled epilepsy, who sustained significant cortical injury during a COVID-19 associated multi-inflammatory syndrome.

A Case of Systemic Capillary Leak Syndrome With Severe Cardiac Dysfunction After mRNA Vaccination for COVID-19.

Project description:A 53-year-old woman with no significant medical history developed cardiogenic shock 4 days after receiving the second dose of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine (BNT162b2, Pfizer/BioNtech). The patient required extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and an Impella device. Based on significant hemoconcentration, decreased plasma protein levels, and pathologic findings in myocardial specimens, the patient was diagnosed with vaccination-induced fulminant systemic capillary leak syndrome (SCLS) with severe cardiac dysfunction. This case highlights that SCLS can occur after COVID-19 mRNA vaccination and may be associated with cardiac dysfunction. In patients with cardiogenic shock, hemoconcentration, and hypoalbuminemia after vaccination, SCLS should be considered.

Severe cardiac dysfunction in a patient with multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children associated with COVID-19: Retrospective diagnosis of a puzzling presentation. A case report.

Project description:We report one of the earliest known U.S. cases of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children associated with COVID-19 (MIS-C). This adolescent male presented prior to any known association between COVID-19 and immune mediated inflammatory syndrome in children. He presented in stable condition and without significant multisystem involvement. During hospitalization, he developed severe left ventricular dysfunction and mixed hypovolemic, distributive and cardiogenic shock. Clinical features overlapped with Kawasaki disease, acute rheumatic fever, and toxic shock syndrome. After centers in Europe began reporting a multisystem inflammatory condition in children with COVID-19, the patient's clinical course and laboratory findings were revisited. He underwent newly available antibody testing and was diagnosed as one of the first known cases of MIS-C in the United States.
