AbstractThe COVID-19 pandemic has spurred clinical and scientific interest in the cardiology community because of the significantly enhanced vulnerability of patients with underlying cardiac diseases. COVID-19 vaccination is therefore of vital importance to the patients we see in our clinics and hospitals every day and should be promoted by the medical community, especially cardiologists. In view of vaccine-preventable diseases, the association between influenza and cardiovascular complications has been widely investigated. Several studies have found a substantially elevated risk of hospital admission for acute myocardial infarction in the first 7 days after laboratory-confirmed influenza, with incidence ratios ranging from 6.05–8.89. The effectiveness of the influenza vaccine to protect against acute myocardial infarction is about 29%. This effectiveness is comparable to or even better than that of existing secondary preventive therapies, such as statins (prevention rate approximately 36%), antihypertensives (prevention rate approximately 15–18%), and smoking cessation (prevention rate approximately 26%). As the influenza season is rapidly approaching, this Point of View article serves as a call to action: Cardiologists should promote influenza vaccination and actively advice their patients to get the seasonal influenza vaccination.

A nonlinear artificial neural network trained by backpropagation was applied to the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (coronary occlusion) in patients presenting to the emergency department with acute anterior chest pain. Three-hundred and fifty-six patients were retrospectively studied, of which 236 did not have acute myocardial infarction and 120 did have infarction. The network was trained on a randomly chosen set of half of the patients who had not sustained acute myocardial infarction and half of the patients who had sustained infarction. It was then tested on a set consisting of the remaining patients to which it had not been exposed. The network correctly identified 92% of the patients with acute myocardial infarction and 96% of the patients without infarction. When all patients with the electrocardiographic evidence of infarction were removed from the cohort, the network correctly identified 80% of the patients with infarction. This is substantially better than the performance reported for either physicians or any other analytical approach.

Acute myocardial infarction is necrosis of any myocardial mass due to ischemia. COVID-19 can be complicated by thrombosis and myocardial damage, which can lead to the deployment of a clinical picture similar to acute myocardial infarction. The material of this article is presented on the example of a clinical case. A woman aged 37 was diagnosed with an acute myocardial infarction, which later turned out to be a manifestation of a complicated course of coronavirus COVID-19 infection. This case drew attention to the absence of a clinical picture specific to this infection in the form of a damage to the respiratory system or intoxication. The case is also distinguished by the presence of a single uncharacteristic clinical manifestation of COVID-19 in the form of a cardiovascular event with elevations of the ST segment on the cardiogram and other objective data and additional research methods characteristic of acute myocardial infarction. The work also analyzed the pathogenetic mechanisms of acute myocardial infarction and cardiovascular complications of COVID-19, examined the general links of pathogenesis of these two pathological units and analyzed the causes of difficulties in their differential diagnosis. In this regard, there are unquestionably complications of differential diagnosis and the prescription of timely correct therapy. A deeper understanding of these data may improve the algorithms for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction and cardiovascular complications of COVID-19.
