On the other hand, headache appears to be the most common side effect of nitrates that have been used traditionally for decades. In this context, we aimed to compare the frequency and temporal characteristics of nitrate-induced headache (NIH) between subjects with sole coronary artery disease (CAD) and subjects with CAD and coexisting CAE.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 Two hundred and forty-four patients who had undergone coronary angiogram (CAG) and received a single dose of sublingual isosorbide dinitrate during the procedure comprised in this retrospective study population. CAG is performed in the indications due to guidelines. All patients who had undergone CAG were held under close supervision, at least, for 6 h following CAG (and administration of sublingual nitrate); duration and emergence time of NIH were recorded for all patients. Of these 244 patients, 225 patients having sole CAD were assigned to Group I, whereas 19 patients having both CAD and CAE were assigned to Group II.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 NIH was observed in 19 out of 225 patients (8%) with sole CAD and in 9 out of 19 patients (56%) with CAD and CAE (P = 0.003). The mean interval between the administration of sublingual isosorbide dinitrate and NIH onset was significantly lower in Group II in comparison to Group I (44 ± 14 min vs. 87 ± 63 min, respectively, P = 0.018). However, the duration of NIH was comparable between the two groups (Group I: 203 ± 53 min vs. Group II: 173 ± 61 min, P = 0.24); logistic regression analysis revealed an independent association between NIH and CAE (odds ratio: 11.5, 95% confidential interval: 3.9–33.8, P < 0.001).\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 \u0000 We have demonstrated that sublingual nitrates might induce NIH more frequently in subjects with CAE and CAD in comparison to those with sole CAD.

Cardiovascular injury is the second most common complication, following respiratory disease, encompassing conditions such as myocarditis, acute myocardial injury, acute coronary syndrome, arrhythmia, and heart failure. It presents with high-troponin levels, reduced left ventricular systolic function, and/or electrocardiographic abnormalities. Cardiac involvement is an independent risk factor for worse clinical outcomes and higher mortality, particularly in the elderly patients. The debate continues regarding whether the cardiac manifestations of COVID-19 result from direct viral infection or indirect cellular injuries. The virus attaches directly to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptor, which is extensively expressed in the heart, invades myocardial tissue, and triggers an excessive inflammatory response. Indirect mechanisms stem from endothelial damage, hypercoagulability and micro-thrombosis, cytokine storm, respiratory failure and hypoxia, and autoimmunity. The pathophysiology of cardiac injury in COVID-19 patients is important to frame the main pathways and biomarkers to encourage new therapeutic trials to improve the disease prognosis and to understand the course of the disease.","PeriodicalId":34653,"journal":{"name":"Heart and Mind","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140997076","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
