BACKGROUND Introduction: Ever since Sars CoV-2 infection has started from China and has taken the shape of pandemic the mortality associated with this disease has been under discussion and hypercoagubility, acute severe respiratory syndrome and sepsis with multi organ failure have been accursed as possible reasons of deaths in cases infected with novel Corona virus. We conducted a retrospective analysis of the cases admitted in our high dependency and Intensive care unit and tried to pinpoint the major cause of mortality in our cases. Methods: This is a single center retrospective study carried out at Bahria International Hospital Lahore over a 3 month period (May 10th to July 10th 2020) in which we analyzed the clinical and biochemical profiles of the COVID-19 patients who died during this period. Results: A total of 108 patients were admitted during this period out of which 11 patients died. 7 of them were men and 4 women. Majority of them had sudden cardiac arrest due to acute coronary syndrome followed by multiorgan dysfunction syndrome and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Conclusion: Acute coronary syndrome due to hypercoagubility was the leading cause of death in our patients. OBJECTIVE To evaluate major cause of mortality in our COVID 19 cases.

First Case

Management of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains challenging, particularly in young patients. Takayasu arteritis is a rare large-vessel vasculitis relatively. Coronary involvement has been previously described; we provided the first intracoronary images by OCT. We report the first case of OHCA with shockable rhythm revealing chronic total occlusion of the left main in a 41-year-old lady. The coronary anomaly made it possible to diagnose the vasculitis and to treat it by corticosteroid and immunosuppressive treatment. Vasculitis should be evoked in atypical coronary syndrome in young patients. A collaborative multidisciplinary approach permits optimal care for this complex patient.

Background: Since SARS CoV-2 infection began in China and has evolved into a pandemic, mortality associated with this illness has been under discussion and hypercoagubility, severe acute respiratory syndrome and septicemia with multiple organ insufficiency have been cursed as potential causes of death in cases infected with the novel coronavirus. We did a retrospective analysis of cases admitted to our highly dependent and intensive care unit, and we tried to identify the leading cause of death in our cases. Methods: This is a single center retrospective study carried out at Bahria International Hospital Lahore over a 3-month period (May 10th to July 10th 2020) in which we analyzed the clinical and biochemical profiles of the COVID-19 patients who died during this period. Results: A total of 108 patients were admitted during this period out of which 11 patients died. 7 of them were men and 4 women.

Coronary Syndrome

Kounis syndrome or allergic myocardial infarction is an acute coronary syndrome in the course of an allergic reaction. In allergic patients in response to a specific condition - nourishment, inhalation, environmental substances, drug or insect bite there is an allergic reaction involving many different cells and mediators that can cause coronary artery spasm or initiate the process of rupture and activation of atherosclerotic plaque resulting in acute coronary syndrome. The paper describes a case of a young man with allergy to pollen and confirmed sensitization to nuts, who developed a full-blown anaphylactic shock after eating the nut mix and experienced a rapidly passing acute coronary syndrome with troponin up to 4.7 μg/L. An increased concentration of tryptase (15 μg/L), total IgE (> 3,000 IU/mL) and specific anti-nut IgE (55.1 kUA/L) were found. Based on the course of the disease and the results of allergic and cardiac tests, allergic type 1 myocardial infarction, i.e. caused by coronary artery spasm, was diagnosed. During the hospitalization, the patient’s condition improved quickly and after a few days he left the hospital without the signs of permanent damage to the heart muscle.
