Abstract
Abstract
Aims
There is a paucity of data on very long-term outcomes in young women and men experiencing acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
Methods and results
The FAST-MI program consists of three nationwide French surveys carried out 5 years apart from 2005 to 2015, including consecutive AMI patients over a 1-month period with up to 10-year follow-up. The present analysis focused on adults ≤50 yo according to their gender. Women accounted for 17.5% (N=335) of the 1912 patients under 50 yo and were as old as men (43.9±5.5 vs. 43.9±5.1yo, p=0.92). Non-significant coronary artery disease was more frequent in women (12.8% vs. 5.8%, P<0.001). Women with significant coronary artery disease underwent less percutaneous coronary internvention (PCI) than men (85.9% vs. 91.3%, p=0.005), though primary PCI in ST-elevated myocardial infarction was as frequent in women (67.3% vs. 66.8%). Recommended secondary prevention medications were less prescribed at discharge in women (40.6% vs. 52.8%, p<0.001), a trend that persisted in 2015 (59.1% vs. 72.8% in 2015, p<0.001). Still, ten-year survival was similar in men (90.5%) and women (92.6%) (crude HR 0.87 [95% CI 0.55–1.57], adjusted HR 0.77 [95% CI 0.48–1.23], p=0.27) even among hospital survivors (adjusted HR 0.64 [95% CI 0.32–1.30], p=0.22). Ten-year survival was similar in patients with myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries compared with those with significant coronary artery disease (91.8% vs. 91.0%, P=0.46)), both among men (91.6% vs. 90.7%) and women (92.9% vs. 93.0%). However, when taking into account early revascularization and discharge medications, in patients with significant coronary artery disease, adjusted 10-year mortality was significantly lower in women (HR 0.53, 95% CI 0.29–0.96, P=0.04).
Conclusions
Ten-year survival in young women with AMI is similar to that of men. However, in those with significant coronary artery disease, improving secondary prevention in women should result in better long-term outcome.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Very little data is available in women presenting with ventricular fibrillation in the setting of acute myocardial infarction.
Purpose
To investigate sex-discrepancies in the incidence, characteristics and outcomes of acute myocardial infarction complicated by ventricular fibrillation.
Methods
Data were analyzed from the FAST-MI registry, which prospectively included 14,406 patients with acute myocardial infarction (mean age 66±14 years, 72% male, mean left ventricular ejection fraction 52±12%, 59% with ST elevation myocardial infarction). All consecutive patients admitted to French cardiac intensive care units ≤48 hours from acute myocardial infarction onset during a 1-month period every five years during 1995 and 2015 were included. This analysis focused on ventricular fibrillation occurring during the initial in-hospital stay for acute myocardial infarction in women compared to men.
Results
A total of 359 patients developed ventricular fibrillation during acute myocardial infarction, including 81 women (2.0% of 4,091 women overall) and 278 men (2.7% of 10,315) (p=0.02). ST-elevation myocardial infarction (OR 2.29, 95% CI 1.75–2.99, p<0.001) was independently associated with occurrence of ventricular fibrillation, while female gender (OR 0.73, 95% CI 0.56–0.95, p=0.02), hypertension (OR 0.75, 95% CI 0.60–0.94, p=0.01) and prior MI (OR 0.69, 95% CI 0.50–0.96, p=0.03) were protective factors. Women were less likely to have percutaneous coronary intervention during hospitalization than men (48.1% vs. 69.1%, OR 0.48, 95% CI 0.29–0.80, p<0.001). One-year mortality was higher in women compared to men (23.1% vs. 7.0%, HR 5.5, 95% CI 1.7–17.2, p=0.001). However, after adjustment for age, type of myocardial infarction and percutaneous coronary intervention, female gender was no longer associated with a worse one-year mortality (adjusted HR 1.04, 95% CI 0.71–1.51, p=0.85).
Conclusion and relevance
Women have lower risk of developing ventricular fibrillation during acute myocardial infarction compared to men. However, they are less likely to receive early coronary interventions than men, possibly contributing to worse outcomes.

Abstract
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has spread rapidly, becoming a major threat to global health. In addition to having required the adaptation of healthcare workers for almost 2 years, it has been much talked about, both in the media and among the scientific community. Beyond lung damage and respiratory symptoms, the involvement of the cardiovascular system largely explains COVID-19 morbimortality. In this review, we emphasize that cardiovascular involvement is common and is associated with a worse prognosis, and that earlier detection by physicians should lead to better management. First, direct cardiac involvement will be discussed, in the form of COVID-19 myocarditis, then secondary cardiac involvement, such as myocardial injury, myocardial infarction and arrhythmias, will be considered. Finally, worsening of previous cardiovascular disease as a result of COVID-19 will be examined, as well as long-term COVID-19 effects and cardiovascular complications of COVID-19 vaccines.

Abstract
Sudden cardiac death, mostly related to ventricular arrhythmia, is a major public health issue, with still very poor survival at hospital discharge. Although coronary artery disease remains the leading cause, other etiologies should be systematically investigated. Exhaustive and standardized exploration is required to eventually offer specific therapeutics and management to the patient as well as his/her family members in case of inherited cardiac disease. Identification and establishing direct causality of the detected cardiac anomaly may remain challenging, underlying the need for a multidisciplinary and experimented team.

Abstract
Background While women account for 40-50 % of patients hospitalized for coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19), no specific data have been reported in this population. Purpose Assess the burden of cardiovascular comorbidities on outcomes in women hospitalized for Covid-19. Methods We conducted a retrospective observational multicenter study from February 26 to April 20, 2020 in 24 French hospitals including all adults admitted for Covid-19. Primary composite outcome included transfer to intensive care unit (ICU) or in-hospital death. Results Among 2878 patients hospitalized for Covid-19, 1212 (42.1 %) were women. Women were significantly older (68.3 ± 18.0 vs. 65.4 ± 16.0 years, P < 0.001) but had less prevalent cardiovascular comorbidities than men. Among women, 276 (22.8 %) experienced the primary outcome, including 161 (13.3 %) transfer to ICU and 115 (9.5 %) deaths without transfer to ICU. The survival free from death or transfer to ICU was higher in women (HR 0.63, 95 %CI 0.53-0.73, P < 0.001), whereas the observed difference in in-hospital deaths did not reach statistical significance (P = 0.18). The proportion of women that experienced the primary outcome were 37.8 % in women with heart failure (n = 112), 30.9 % in women with coronary artery disease (n = 81), 29.1 % in women with diabetes (n = 254), 26.1 % in women with dyslipidemia (n = 315), and 26.0 % in women with hypertension (n = 632). Age (HR 1.05, 5 years increments, 95 %CI 1.01-1.10), body mass index (HR 1.06, 2 units increments, 95 %CI 1.02-1.10), chronic kidney disease (HR 1.57, 95 %CI 1.11-2.22), and heart failure (HR 1.52, 95 %CI 1.04-2.22) were independently associated with the primary outcome (Fig. 1). Conclusions Women hospitalized for Covid-19 were older and had less prevalent cardiovascular comorbidities than men. While female sex was associated with a lower risk of transfer to ICU or in-hospital death, Covid-19 remains associated with considerable morbi-mortality in women, especially in those with cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Background The emergence of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has evolved into a global pandemic. Systems of care have been reorganized worldwide in an effort to preserve hospital bed capacity. In France, from March 17 to May 11 2020, government imposed a complete lockdown on the whole population. Only urgent cardiac procedures have been ensured such as ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) revascularization. Some previously published studies suggest a reduction of admission for STEMI in many countries. Nevertheless, strong evidences and data across different French regions that have been affected variously by the outbreak are still lacking. Purpose We aimed to describe the incidence rates and characteristics of patients presenting with STEMI in order to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on STEMI care in France covering the lockdown period compared to same period one year ago. Methods We performed a retrospective multicenter registry across 60 French interventional cardiology centers including all consecutive STEMI patients referred for urgent revascularization in the heart catheterization laboratory between two periods: March 1st to May 31th 2020 compared with March 1st to May 31th 2019. Comprehensive data, including clinical, biological, COVID status and angiographic variables including time taken for care were recorded at admission. The primary outcome was a composite of invasive mechanical ventilation support or in-hospital death. The secondary outcome was the occurrence of myocardial infarction related complications during hospitalization. Enrollement is not complete at the time of the abstract submission. Conclusion This data collection between two periods with and without COVID19 will gave insights for a complete descriptive cartography of STEMI patients among different French regions which have been variously impacted by the outbreak.

Abstract
Background While pulmonary embolism (PE) appears to be a major issue in Covid-19, data remain sparse. Purpose We aimed to describe the risk factors and baseline characteristics of patients with PE in a large cohort of Covid-19 patients. Methods In a retrospective multicentric observational study, we included consecutive hospitalised patients for Covid-19. Patients without computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA)-proven PE diagnosis, those who were directly admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU), and those still hospitalised without PE experience were excluded. Results Among 1240 patients (58.1% men, mean age 64 ± 17 years), 103 (8.3%) patients had PE confirmed by CTPA. The ICU transfer requirement and mechanical ventilation requirement were significantly higher in the PE group (P < 0.001 and P < 0.001, respectively). In an univariable analysis, traditional venous thromboembolic risk factors were not associated with PE (P > 0.05), while patients under therapeutic-dose anticoagulation before hospitalisation or prophylaxis-dose anticoagulation introduced during hospitalisation had lower PE occurrence (OR 0.40, 95%CI(0.14-0.91); P = 0.04 and OR 0.11, 95%CI(0.06-0.18); P < 0.001, respectively). In a multivariable analysis, the following variables (also statistically significant in univariable analysis) were associated with PE: male gender (OR 1.03, 95%CI(1.003-1.069); P = 0.04), anticoagulation with prophylaxis-dose (OR 0.83, 95%CI(0.79-0.85), P < 0.001) or therapeutic-dose (OR 0.87, 95%CI(0.82-0.92), P < 0.001), C-reactive protein (OR 1.03, 95%CI(1.01-1.04), P = 0.001) and time from symptom onset to hospitalisation (OR 1.02, 95%CI(1.006-1.038), P = 0.002) (Table 1). Conclusion Pulmonary embolism risk factors in Covid-19 context do not include traditional thromboembolic risk factors but rather independent clinical and biological findings at admission, including a major contribution to inflammation.
