    Abstract The Myocardial Performance Index (MPI), also known as the Tei Index, is a measure of the overall performance of the heart that takes into account both systolic and diastolic function. It is a non-invasive echocardiographic index that provides information about the efficiency of the heart's pumping action. The MPI is a useful tool for evaluating cardiac function in various clinical conditions, such as heart failure, myocardial infarction, and cardiomyopathy. A higher MPI value indicates poorer cardiac function, while a lower MPI value indicates better cardiac function. This review will give a summary of the relevant MPI literature, provide a methodology and technical aspects, and make research recommendations.

    Abstract Background: Coronary slow flow (CSF) is defined as the late progression of applied contrast through coronary arteries. The cardiac electrophysiological balance index (iCEB) reflects the balance between ventricular depolarisation and repolarisation and provides more information about ventricular arrhythmogenesis (VA) than other electrocardiography (ECG) parameters (QT, corrected QT [QTc], etc.).
    Aim: We aimed to evaluate iCEB in patients with CSF.
    Methods: We divided the study population into two groups as CSF and control. The CSF group consisted of 100 patients (33 female, 67 male, mean age 52.2 ± 2.6), while the control group consisted of the same number of age and sex-matched patients (35 female, 65 male, mean age 51.7 ± 1.4). ECG parameters of the study population (QRS duration, QT, T wave peak-to-end (Tp-e) intervals, iCEB (QT/QRS), and iCEBc (heart rate QTc/QRS) rates were calculated and compared between CSF and control groups.
    Results: Intervals (QT and QTc intervals) and Tp-e/QTc ratio were greater in the CSF group compared with controls [422.1 ± 12.8 vs. 349.4 ± 14.3 bpm, respectively,
    Conclusions: ICEB and iCEBc were significantly increased in patients with CSF. This may suggest that CSF may predispose to malign arrhythmias.

    Abstract Apelin is a G protein-linked receptor endogenous ligand, synthesized as a 77-amino acid pre-propeptide. Increased expression of apelin is present in many cardiovascular (CV) tissues, including cardiomyocytes. It is a peripheral vasodilator and one of the most potent stimulants of ventricular contraction. Apelin may be a valuable therapeutic for both blood pressure regulation and myocardial performance. More information is needed for the CV pathophysiology of apelin. We will discuss the importance of apelin level in CV diseases in this review.

    Abstract Serum resistin, mainly secreted by the bone marrow, monocytes, and macrophages, contributes to many processes, including endothelial dysfunction, Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell (VSMC) proliferation, and atherothrombosis demonstrating effects on the development of hypertension and Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). Previously published clinical studies have shown that plasma resistin levels are significantly associated with cardiovascular disease risk factors and adverse clinical outcomes associated with the condition. Resistin is associated with vascular smooth muscle cell dysfunction in vitro, most plausibly due to its relationship with oxidative stress in advanced atherosclerosis whereas in vivo studies have shown resistin to be associated with intimal hyperplasia. We aimed to summarize the role of resistin on cardiovascular disease (CVD), as we could not find any review focused on the role of resistin on CVD.

    Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global pandemic affecting the world, seen in more than 1,300,000 patients. COVID-19 acts through the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor. Cardiovascular comorbidities are more common with COVID-19, and nearly 10% of cases develop myocarditis (22% of critical patients). Further research is needed to continue or discontinue ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers, which are essential in hypertension and heart failure in COVID-19. Intensive research is promising for the treatment and prevention of COVID-19.

    Abstract Resumo A doença de coronavírus 2019 (COVID-19) é uma pandemia global afetando o mundo, estando presente em mais de 1.300.000 pacientes. O COVID-19 age pelo receptor da enzima conversora de angiotensina 2 (ECA2). As comorbidades cardiovasculares são mais frequentes com COVID-19, e cerca 10% de casos desenvolvem miocardite (22% de pacientes críticas). Mais pesquisas serão necessárias para continuar ou descontinuar inibidores de ECA e bloqueadores dos receptores da angiotensina, que são essenciais para hipertensão e insuficiência cardíaca em COVID-19. Pesquisa intensiva é promissora para o tratamento e a prevenção da COVID-19.

    Abstract Background: Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is defined as diffuse or localized dilatation of coronary artery lumen with a diameter of 1.5 to 2.0 times the adjacent normal coronary artery. The C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) is a useful inflammatory marker, which has been documented in coronary artery disease.
    Objective: To analyze the association of CAE and CAR.
    Methods: A case-control protocol was used in this study. We included 102 consecutive patients with isolated CAE without stenosis (56 men and 46 women; mean age 60.4 ± 8.8 years). The control subjects consisted of an equal number of sex and age matched patients with normal coronary arteries (55 men and 47 women; mean age 61.2 ± 9.1 years). Clinical features, laboratory findings, and medication use history were recorded. Student's t test, Mann-Whitney U test, chi-square test, and linear and logistic regression analysis were performed. A 2-sided p < 0.05 was statistically considered significant.
    Results: The CAR was increased in patients with CAE compared to the controls (32 and 16; p < 0.001). In addition, the CAR was found to be an independent predictor of CAE (OR = 2.202; 95% CI 1.184 - 5.365; p < 0.001).
    Conclusion: In the present study, we determined that CAR levels were significantly higher in the CAE group than in the control group, and the CAR was significantly correlated with CAE. (Arq Bras Cardiol. 2020; [online].ahead print, PP.0-0).

    Abstract Cardiac troponin is the preferred biomarker for the diagnosis of the acute coronary syndrome (ACS), but many other diseases can be identified with elevated troponin levels in the absence of ACS. The recent development of a high-sensitive cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) assay permits the detection of very low levels of cTnT. The use of hs-cTnT assay has emerged as a tool for identifying high-risk individuals for primary preventive treatment and can detect subclinical injury in asymptomatic patients. Hs-cTnT analyses are generally related to ischemia in the literature. Thus, we made an evaluation of hs-cTnT analysis in non-coronary patients, which may contribute to the literature.
