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.

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis following severe COVID - 19 infection: A case report.

Project description:A 67-year-old male, with a history of severe COVID-19 infection and exposure to talc was seen for worsening shortness of breath for months, requiring supplemental oxygen. He was treated for COVID-19 infection and suspected pneumonia with no improvement. His pulmonary function test (PFT) worsened and computed tomography (CT) showing bilateral airspace opacities with ground-glass opacities (GGO), also worsened over time. He underwent bronchoscopy, bronchoalveolar lavage and pathology revealed pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP). He subsequently underwent whole lung lavage (WLL) which significantly improved his crazy paving pattern on CT and was successfully weaned off supplemental oxygen.

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.

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.

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.

Management of COVID-19 myopericarditis with reversal of cardiac dysfunction after blunting of cytokine storm: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a syndrome that has been associated with multiple cardiac complications including myopericarditis. The pathophysiology and treatment for myopericarditis in the setting of COVID-19 infection is still under investigation.Case summaryWe present a case of a 60-year-old male admitted for dyspnoea due to COVID-19. He developed new ST-segment elevation, elevated cardiac enzymes, severe left ventricular dysfunction, and high inflammatory markers in the setting of haemodynamic and respiratory collapse from the viral illness. He was diagnosed with COVID-19-induced myopericarditis. He showed rapid clinical improvement with a rapid wean off pressure support, resolution of electrocardiogram (ECG) findings, and recovery of left ventricular systolic function following treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and methylprednisolone.DiscussionCOVID-19's complex and devastating complications continue to create new challenges for clinicians. Cardiac complications, specifically, have been shown to be a signal for worse prognosis in these patients. IVIG and steroids can inhibit the inflammatory cascade and decrease myocardial injury, with implications in treatment of severe myopericarditis.

Phantosmia with COVID-19 Related Olfactory Dysfunction: Report of Nine Case.

Project description:Phantosmia has been described as a sense of smell without a true stimulating odor and not been reported with COVID-19 disease. Nine patients admitted to Ear Nose Throat (ENT) Clinic with complaints of a phantom smell sense after an average of 33.5 ± 9.5 days after the initial PCR diagnosis. According to the Sniffin 'Sticks test, phantosmia was associated with objective hyposmia in three patients with the persistent phantom smell, and other six patients were detected normosmic. Phantosmia or olfactory hallucinations have not been previously associated with COVID-19 disease. Additionally, COVID-19 related phantosmia showed different characteristics according to described in the literature.Supplementary informationThe online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s12070-021-02505-z.
