“…Cardiovascular complications from COVID-19 were observed as early as the beginning of the pandemic [ 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 ]. The most common cardiovascular complications include acute myocardial injury, arrhythmias, acute myocarditis, and severe left ventricular dysfunction [ 57 ]. On the other hand, patients with cardiovascular comorbidities are more prone to suffer from COVID-19, which in turn can cause deterioration of their cardiovascular disease [ 53 ].…”

The circumstances of the Coronavirus disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus (COVID-19) pandemic have had a significant impact on global and national developments, affecting the existence of society in all its expressions, as well as the lives of people themselves. In the context of the pandemic, increased attention has been focused on acute measures, but the ending of the pandemic is expected as a resolution of the related healthcare problems. However, there are several indicators that the COVID-19 pandemic might induce long-term consequences for individual and public health. Some of the consequences are inferred and predictable, but there are also areas of medicine that have been indirectly affected by the pandemic, and these consequences have not yet been sufficiently explored. This study is focused on drawing attention to some of the COVID-19 pandemic consistencies and the pandemic-revealed inconsistencies in healthcare. Content analysis and statistical analysis were applied to achieve the aim of the study. The main findings of the study address chronic disease burden (particularly, myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS)), healthcare governance and organizational issues, and the synergy between health policy perspectives and innovative solutions in practice. The study provides insight into the particular healthcare issues affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, such as the increase in mortality in some diagnoses besides COVID-19 and the possible emergence of a new type of resistance—vaccine-resistance—contemporaneously supporting the identification of the tendencies and currently unnoticed indirect consistencies and inconsistencies revealed by the pandemic.

“…In the first application, echocardiography can identify potentially reversible causes of arrest. This procedure is performed by use of the subcostal, apical and parasternal views to identify cardiac tamponade, findings suggestive of pulmonary embolism, and a pleural view to identify pneumothorax [ 4 – 6 ]. The diagnosis of pulmonary embolism may be challenging, as findings of isolated right ventricular dilation must be considered with caution.…”

Background Echocardiography in the setting of resuscitation can provide information as to the cause of the cardiac arrest, as well as indicators of futility. This systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to determine the value of point-of-care ultrasonography (PoCUS) in the assessment of survival for adult patients with cardiac arrest. Methods This meta-analysis was performed in adherence to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane have been searched from databases inception until March 2 nd 2021. The search was limited to adult patients with cardiac arrest and without publication dates or country restrictions. Papers were chosen if they met the required criteria relating to the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of this diagnostic technique concerning resuscitation outcomes. Results This systematic review identified 20 studies. Overall, for survival to hospital discharge, PoCUS was 6.2% sensitivity (95% confidence interval [CI] 4.7–8.0%) and 2.1% specific (95% CI 0.8–4.2%). PoCUS sensitivity and specificity for return of spontaneous circulation were 23.8% (95% CI 21.4–26.4%) and 50.7% (95% CI 45.8–55.7%) respectively, and for survival to admission 13.8% (95% CI 12.2–15.5%) and 20.1% (95% CI 16.2–24.3%), respectively. Conclusions The results do not allow unambiguous recommendation of PoCUS as a predictor of resuscitation outcomes and further studies based on a large number of patients with full standardization of operators, their training and procedures performed were necessary.

“…Because this disease can cause the destruction of myocytes, it may result in cardiomyopathy, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death. Cardiovascular complications from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are emerging [ 2 ], especially during hospitalization, and myocarditis has been identified as a cause of death in some COVID-19 patients [ 3 ]. In the current epidemiological situation of a very large number of hospitalized patients, we must consider the long-term effects of myocarditis caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2).…”
