“…Recent studies showed that cardiovascular comorbidities are common in patients with COVID-19 and such patients are at a higher risk of morbidity and mortality [ 5 , 6 ]. In addition, various cardiac manifestations, such as myocarditis, venous thrombosis, arrhythmia, and heart failure were reported in patients with COVID-19 [ 7 ]. Therefore, the importance of cardiovascular care in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic has become pronounced.…”

7, and the declaration was extended nationwide on April 16, 2020. A total of 11,919 cases and 287 deaths have been confirmed in Japan as of April 23, 2020 [4]. Exhaustion of healthcare resources, including medical personnel, medical equipment, and personal protective equipment (PPE), is occurring in many regions while dealing with patients with COVID-19. Recent studies showed that cardiovascular comorbidities are common in patients with COVID-19 and such patients are at a higher risk of morbidity and mortality [5,6].

“…In December 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID- 19) infected pneumonia caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) occurred in Wuhan, China with further worldwide transmission to a pandemic outbreak [1][2][3][4][5]. A large cluster of COVID-19 occurred in northeast France as early as mid-February, and a substantial number of critically ill patients started to be transferred to our institution (Nouvel Hôpital Civil, Strasbourg, France) from the beginning of March.…”

Although a reduction in hospital admissions of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) patients has been observed globally during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, clinical features of those patients have not been fully investigated. The aim of the present analysis is to investigate the incidence, clinical presentation, and outcomes of patients with ACS during the COVID-19 pandemic. We performed a retrospective analysis of consecutive patients who were admitted for ACS at our institution between March 1 and April 20, 2020 and compared with the equivalent period in 2019. Admissions for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) reduced by 39.5% in 2020 compared with the equivalent period in 2019. Owing to the emergency medical services (EMS) of our region, all time components of ST-elevated myocardial infarction care were similar during the COVID-19 outbreak as compared with the previous year’s dataset. Among the 106 ACS patients in 2020, 7 patients tested positive for COVID-19. Higher incidence of type 2 myocardial infarction (29% vs. 4%, p = 0.0497) and elevated D-dimer levels (5650 μg/l [interquartile range (IQR) 1905–13,625 μg/l] vs. 400 μg/l [IQR 270–1050 μg/l], p = 0.02) were observed in COVID-19 patients. In sum, a significant reduction in admission for AMI was observed during the COVID-19 pandemic. COVID-19 patients were characterized by elevated D-dimer levels on admission, reflecting enhanced COVID-19 related thrombogenicity. The prehospital evaluation by EMS may have played an important role for the timely revascularization for STEMI patients.

Steps to use artificial intelligence in echocardiography

Artificial intelligence (AI) has influenced every field of cardiovascular imaging in all phases from acquisition to reporting. Compared with computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, there is an issue of high observer variation in the interpretation of echocardiograms. Therefore, AI can help minimize the observer variation and provide accurate diagnosis in the field of echocardiography. In this review, we summarize the necessity for automated diagnosis in the echocardiographic field, and discuss the results of AI application to echocardiography and future perspectives. Currently, there are two roles for AI in cardiovascular imaging. One is the automation of tasks performed by humans, such as image segmentation, measurement of cardiac structural and functional parameters. The other is the discovery of clinically important insights. Most reported applications were focused on the automation of tasks. Moreover, algorithms that can obtain cardiac measurements are also being reported. In the next stage, AI can be expected to expand and enrich existing knowledge. With the continual evolution of technology, cardiologists should become well versed in this new knowledge of AI and be able to harness it as a tool. AI can be incorporated into everyday clinical practice and become a valuable aid for many healthcare professionals dealing with cardiovascular diseases.
