    Abstract Introduction: Fernando De Ritis described the significance of the transaminase (AST/ALT) ratio in 1957, and since then it has been commonly used to screen liver diseases. The liver is sensitive to hemodynamic changes because it receives approximately one-quarter of total cardiac output. We aimed to investigate the AST/ALT ratio changes in patients with acute myocardial infarction without any history of liver diseases in the Chinese Han population.
    Material and methods: We analyzed a total of 120 patients with acute myocardial infarction admitted to the cardiology department of Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University between January 2019 and June 2019. AST/ALT ratio of the first blood test was calculated for all patients.
    Results: The mean De Ritis ratio (AST/ALT) was higher in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) (3.2261 ±2.41379) than in non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) (2.2089 ±1.63177) patients. The difference was statistically significant (
    Conclusions: AST/ALT ≥ 2.0 has a strong association with total coronary occlusion. We might rely on this test to predict coronary occlusion without age difference.

    Abstract Atrial fibrillation during pregnancy is a rare condition and often occurs in patients with underlying heart disease. The management of AF during pregnancy includes both electrical and pharmacological cardioversion to prevent recurrence and stroke. In recent years, few studies have been discussed the proper management of AF in pregnancy. This literature highlights both pharmacological and electrical cardioversion of atrial fibrillation during pregnancy.

    Abstract The new 2019 coronavirus disease (COVID-19), according to the World Health Organization (WHO), has been characterized as a pandemic. As more is being discovered about this virus, we aim to report findings of the complete blood count (CBC) of COVID-19 patients. This would serve in providing physicians with important knowledge on the changes that can be expected from the CBC of mild and normal COVID-19 patients. A total of 208 mild and common patients were admitted at the Dongnan Hospital located in the city of Xiaogan, Hubei, China. The CBCs of these patients, following a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19, were retrospectively analyzed and a significant P<0.05 was found after a full statistical analysis was conducted using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (IBM SPSS). CBC analysis revealed changes in the levels of red blood cells (RBCs), hemoglobin (HGB), hematocrit (HCT), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), and C-reactive protein (CRP). Clinicians should expect similar findings when dealing with the new COVID-19.
