Pulmonary Hypertension in COVID-19 Pneumoniae: It Is Not Always as It Seems

A patient affected by COVID-19 pneumonia may develop pulmonary hypertension (PH) and secondary right ventricular (RV) involvement, due to lung parenchymal and interstitial damage and altered pulmonary haemodynamics, even in non-advanced phases of the disease. This is a consequence of hypoxic vasoconstriction of the pulmonary circulation, the use of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in mechanical ventilation, pulmonary endothelial injury, and local inflammatory thrombotic and/or thromboembolic processes.We report the case of a young man admitted with a diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumoniae with PH unrelated to viral infection and in whom partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage (PAPVD) was eventually diagnosed

Transient Type 1 Brugada Pattern without Ongoing Fever during COVID-19 Pneumonia

Patients with COVID-19 pneumonia can develop heart problems and may also may be susceptible to proarrhythmia, virus-related issues such as fever, stress, electrolyte disturbance and adverse effects from the use of antiviral drugs. We report a transient Brugada-like ECG pattern without ongoing fever in a 57-year-old man, admitted with a diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia, who did not have syncope or a family history of sudden cardiac deat

Stress Cardiomyopathy in COVID-19 Disease

Patients affected by COVID-19 pneumonia may develop stress cardiomyopathy, also known as Takotsubo syndrome (TTS), at different stages during the disease and with different degrees of left ventricular dysfunction. We describe three cases of TTS in COVID-19-positive patients with different clinical presentations and outcomes. One of them died, while in the other two coronary angiography confirmed the diagnosis but was postponed until after pneumonia resolution because of the risk of virus spread

Commentario breve alla riforma "Jobs Act"

Il volume tende all’esame approfondito del complessivo disegno regolatore oggi universalmente conosciuto come Jobs Act : di conseguenza, ripercorrere, come si cercherà di fare nelle pagine che seguono, la trama dell’opera e gli istituti introdotti o modfiicati dal legislatore significa riavvolgere l’ordito della riforma attorno ad un unico, forse immaginario, file rouge
