    Abstract Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 causes hyperinflammation and activation of coagulation cascade and, as a result, aggravates endothelial cell dysfunction. N-acetylcysteine and Sulodexide have been found to mitigate endothelial damage. The influence on coronary artery endothelial cells of serum collected after 4 ± 1 months from coronavirus infection was studied. The concentrations of serum samples of interleukin 6, von Willebrand Factor, tissue Plasminogen Activator, and Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 were studied. The cultures with serum of patients after coronavirus infection were incubated with N-acetylcysteine and Sulodexide to estimate their potential protective role. The blood inflammatory parameters were increased in the group of cultures incubated with serum from patients after coronavirus infection. Supplementation of the serum from patients after coronavirus infection with N-acetylcysteine or Sulodexide reduced the synthesis of interleukin 6 and von Willebrand Factor. No changes in the synthesis of tissue Plasminogen Activator were observed. N-acetylcysteine reduced the synthesis of Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1. N-acetylcysteine and Sulodexide increased the tPA/PAI-1 ratio. N-acetylcysteine may have a role in reducing the myocardial injury occurring in the post-COVID-19 syndrome. Sulodexide can also play a protective role in post-COVID-19 patients.

    Abstract Objective: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 causes hyperinflammation and activation of coagulation cascade and in the result aggravates endothelial cell dysfunction. N-acetylcysteine and Sulodexide have been found to mitigate endothelial damage. Approach and Results: The influence on coronary artery endothelial cells of serum collected after 4+/-1 months from coronavirus infection was studied. The concentrations of serum samples of interleukin 6, von Willebrand Factor, tissue Plasminogen Activator and Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 were studied. The cultures with serum of patients after coronavirus infection were incubated with N-acetylocysteine and Sulodexide to estimate their potential protective role. The blood inflammato-ry parameters were increased in the group of cultures incubated with serum from patients after coronavirus infection. Supplementation of the serum from patients after coronavirus infection with N-acetylcysteine or Sulodexide reduced the synthesis of interleukin 6, von Willebrand Fac-tor. No changes in the synthesis of tissue Plasminogen Activator were observed. N-acetylcysteine reduced the synthesis of Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1. N-acetylcysteine and Sulodexide increased the tPA/PAI-1 ratio. Conclusion: N-acetylcysteine may have a role in reducing the myocardial injury occurring in the post-COVID-19 syndrome. Sulodexide can also play a protective role in post-COVID-19 patients.

    Abstract Ageing is inevitably associated with body composition changes, such as loss of muscle mass, increase in the total fat mass, and unfavorable reduction of subcutaneous fat. Physical activity exerts significant effects on the body composition. The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of two different weekly doses of resistance-aerobic training on the body composition in older people. The study consisted in a retrospective data analysis of fitness club members aged ≥60. The trainees participated in resistance-aerobic training sessions two or three times/week for a minimum of two months. A body composition analysis was performed before and after the training sessions. Group 1 (36 subjects) and Group 2 (28 subjects) had two and three training sessions/week, respectively. A higher skeletal muscle mass was found in Group 1 and lower waist-hip-ratio indices were observed in Group 2. No statistically significant differences were found in the body mass, skeletal muscle mass, fat mass, total body water, lean mass, body mass index, visceral fat area between both groups. The number of training session/week proved to be statistically insignificant for all investigated variables. Resistance-aerobic training with two sessions/week may be as effective in maintaining proper body composition in older people as the same training at the dose of three sessions/week.

    Abstract Background: Ebstein anomaly (EA) is a congenital heart defect affecting the right heart. Heart failure (HF) is a significant complication in adults with EA. It may result not only from the right ventricle (RV), but also from the left ventricle (LV) abnormalities. We evaluate the size and function of both ventricles in patients with EA in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR); to assess their association with the clinical markers of HF.
    Methods: Study group: 37 unoperated adults with EA (mean age 43.0 ± 14.4y, 21[56.8%] males).
    Controls: 25 volunteers (mean age 39.9 ± 10.9y, 15[60%] males). Study protocol included: CMR [ejection fraction (EF), end-diastolic (EDVind) and stroke volumes (SVind) indexed by body surface area]; cardiopulmonary test (peak VO2, %peak VO2, VE/VCO2 slope).
    Results: Size and systolic function of LV were reduced comparing to the controls [LVEDVind (ml/m2): 63.7(range 38.7-94.2) vs. 79.3(48.7-105.1), p < 0.001; LV SVind (ml/m2): 35.8(22.9-55.1) vs. 49.2(37.8-71.7), p < 0.0001; LVEF(%): 58.3(34-70.5) vs. 62.0(52.0-77.0), p = 0.009]. RV was enlarged comparing to the controls [RVEDVind (ml/m2): 124.3(52.8-378.9) vs. 83.0(64.0-102.0), p < 0.0001) with impaired systolic function (RV SVind (ml/m2): 22.7(11.1-74.1) vs. 48.0(37.8-71.7), p < 0.0001; RVEF(%): 38.0(21.0-66.1) vs. 59.0(49.0-69.0), p < 0.0001). A significant correlation was found between LVEDVind vs. peakVO2 (r = 0.52, p = 0.001); LV SVind vs. peakVO2 (r = 0.47,p = 0.005). There was no correlation between the right ventricular status and exercise capacity.
    Conclusions: In adults with Ebstein anomaly the size of left ventricle is reduced, right ventricle is enlarged; the function of both is impaired. Abnormal exercise capacity is associated with left ventricular status. Ventricular interdependence probably plays a role in heart failure pathomechanism.

    Abstract Background: The impact of left circumflex coronary artery (LCX) ostium atherosclerosis in left main coronary artery (LM) bifurcation disease is not well-known.
    Aim: The study aimed to assess whether the involvement of LCX ostium carries prognostic implications in patients undergoing unprotected LM percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
    Methods: Consecutive 564 patients with unprotected LM (ULMCA) disease who underwent LM PCI between January 2015 and February 2021, with at least 1 year of available follow-up were included in the study. The first group was composed of 145 patients with ULMCA disease with LCX ostium stenosis, and the second group consisted of 419 patients with ULMCA disease without LCX ostium stenosis.
    Results: Patients in the group with ULMCA disease with LCX ostium stenosis were significantly older and had more comorbidities. The two-stent technique was used more often in the group with LCX ostium stenosis (62.8% vs. 14.6%; P <0.001). During 7-year follow-up, all-cause mortality did not differ significantly between groups with and without LCX ostium stenosis (P = 0.50). The use of one-stent or two-stent technique also did not impact mortality in patients with LCX ostial lesions (P = 0.75). Long-term mortality subanalysis for three groups of patients: (1) patients with LM plus LCX ostium stenosis; (2) LM plus left anterior descending artery (LAD) ostium stenosis; (3) LM plus LCX ostium plus LAD ostium stenosis also did not differ significantly (P = 0.63).
    Conclusions: LCX ostium involvement in LM disease PCI is not associated with adverse long-term outcomes, which is highly beneficial for the Heart Team's decision-making process.
