1. COVID-19 has a high infection rate and mortality, and serious complications such as heart injury cannot be ignored.
At present, the scale and harm of COVID 19 (Novel coronavirus pneumonia (NCP) has far surpassed that of SARS in 2003, with more than 80,000 cases confirmed in China and 3,119 deaths
The FARAD MI will be a randomized, multicenter prospective study will be conducted. Patients with the diagnosis of ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction treated at the Sancta Maggiore Emergency Departments who have been thrombolyzed and aged up to 80 years will be included. After
Perioperative Myocardial Infarction (PMI) is a major contributor to perioperative mortality and morbidity with overall incidence of 5-16% (1, 2). It is associated with increased 30-day mortality of 11.6% vs 2.2% of patients without PMI in non-cardiac surgical patients (1). However, its recognition
Iron is a vital substrate for hemoglobin production and sufficient iron stores are necessary to achieve and maintain adequate levels of hemoglobin. Unfortunately, more than one third of patients with cyanotic heart disease are iron-deficient (1),(2). In 1990, West et al, have demonstrated that more
Major cardiac complications are responsible for at least a third of perioperative deaths and are associated with significant morbidity, prolonged hospitalization and increased costs. This number is expected to rise as more surgeries are undertaken in older and frailer patients. The term myocardial
INTRODUCTION Chronic cerebral ischemia (CCI), which is firstly proposed by Japanese scholars in 1990s, is considered as a pathological status induced by persistent reduction of cerebral blood volume and flow (CBV and CBF), leading to ischemia and hypoxia in the brain tissue. Long-time
Since it was first described in 1967 by Ashbaugh et al, ARDS/ALI remains a global clinical problem resulting in high morbidity and mortality. These lung syndromes are life threatening, rapidly progressive disease occurring in critically ill patients characterized by hypoxemia, alterations in lung
Pregestational diabetes represents a high-risk for evolution of preeclampsia (PET), with rates of PET within this group at approximately 20%. The combination of diabetes and preeclampsia places the pregnancy at heightened risk for hypoxia and stillbirth. Placental dysfunction, due to disordered
Ticagrelor is a reversibly binding, direct-acting, oral P2Y12 antagonist used for prevention of atherothrombotic events in patients with acute coronary syndrome. It does not belong to thienopyridines; it is a carbocyclic nucleoside, representing a "first-in-class" cyclopentyl-triazolo-pyrimidine.

- Epidemiology Ischemic heart disease (IHD) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are respectively the first and fourth cause of death in industrialized countries accounting for 10-15% of total disability adjusted life year (DALY). COPD is common in IHD patients, ranging from 5% to 18%,
Purpose :
Patients with end stage renal disease are at an increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and the annual mortality from CVD in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients is substantially higher than in the general population. Peripheral arterial disease (PAD), the most common
