    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 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: COVID-19 is a great medical challenge as it provokes acute respiratory distress and has pulmonary manifestations and cardiovascular (CV) consequences.
    Aims: This study compared cardiac injury in COVID-19 myocarditis patients with non-COVID-19 myocarditis patients.
    Methods: Patients who recovered from COVID-19 were scheduled for cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) owing to clinical myocarditis suspicion. The retrospective non-COVID-19 myocarditis (2018-2019) group was enrolled (n = 221 patients). All patients underwent contrast-enhanced CMR, the conventional myocarditis protocol, and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE). The COVID study group included 552 patients at a mean (standard deviation [SD]) age of 45.9 (12.6) years.
    Results: CMR assessment confirmed myocarditis-like LGE in 46% of the cases (68.5% of the segments with LGE <25% transmural extent), left ventricular (LV) dilatation in 10%, and systolic dysfunction in 16% of cases. The COVID-19 myocarditis group showed a smaller median (interquartile range [IQR]) LV LGE (4.4% [2.9%-8.1%] vs. 5.9% [4.4%-11.8%]; P <0.001), lower LV end-diastolic volume (144.6 [125.5-178] ml vs. 162.8 [136.6-194] ml; P <0.001), limited functional consequence (left ventricular ejection fraction, 59% [54.1%-65%] vs. 58% [52%-63%]; P = 0.01), and a higher rate of pericarditis (13.6% vs. 6%; P = 0.03) compared to non-COVID-19 myocarditis. The COVID-19-induced injury was more frequent in septal segments (2, 3, 14), and non-COVID-19 myocarditis showed higher affinity to lateral wall segments (P <0.01). Neither obesity nor age was associated with LV injury or remodeling in subjects with COVID-19 myocarditis.
    Conclusions: COVID-19-induced myocarditis is associated with minor LV injury with a significantly more frequent septal pattern and a higher pericarditis rate than non-COVID-19 myocarditis.

    Abstract Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) and legionnaires disease (LD) caused by Gram-negative water-born bacteria Legionella pneumophila show certain similarities, including a predisposition to pulmonary involvement and extrapulmonary manifestations in some of the patients infected. One disease can mimic the other, both can rarely coexist.
    Case series report: The authors describe 7 such cases (5 females), aged 51-90 years (mean 69.7 years) detected while screening 133 subjects with moderate to severe pneumonia and confirmed COVID- 19, which constituted 5.3% of the patients in whom urinary antigen test (UAT) for L. pneumophila was performed. The patients had multiple concomitant disorders: hypertension (6), heart failure (4), diabetes (4), obesity (4), coronary heart disease (3), chronic kidney disease (3), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (3), anemia (3). Positive UAT was obtained at admission in 4 patients, and on 3rd, 11th and 14th days of hospitalization in the remaining 3 patients. One patient also had positive UAT for Streptococcus pneumoniae. We analyzed: radiological imaging, laboratory data (CRP, interleukin-6, procalcitonin, troponin I, BNP), ECG, echocardiography, treatment and outcome. Three patients required a modification of initial antibiotic therapy, two developed Clostridioides difficile infection. The duration of hospitalization ranged from 13 to 59 days (mean 24.3 days); two patients died.
    Conclusions: The authors suggest that the coexistence of COVID- 19 and LD may result in prolonged hospitalization, in increased mortality risk and in subsequent cardiovascular complications, including takotsubo syndrome (TTS) which was found in 2 cases, both presented as focal TTS (fTTS).
