A male patient with flu-like symptoms and tomography and laboratory diagnosis of severe acute respiratory syndrome. He developed acute cardiac dysfunction during admission and was submitted to a cardiac magnetic resonance imaging examination, which confirmed acute myocarditis, indicating cardiac involvement by coronavirus disease 2019. A review and discussion about coronavirus disease 2019-related cardiac manifestations are reported, focusing on the imaging findings to make diagnosis.

As intervenções cirúrgicas valvares são realizadas principalmente em pacientes com valvopatia grave, com sintomas associados e/ou efeitos anatômicos/hemodinâmicos, sem contraindicação ao procedimento. A escolha da válvula protética deve ser baseada em um processo de tomada de decisão compartilhado que deve levar em conta as compensações entre durabilidade (e a necessidade de reintervenção), sangramento e tromboembolismo. O manuscrito: “Evolução tardia das próteses biológicas e mecânicas em posição aórtica” é um estudo observacional retrospectivo que visa avaliar o seguimento a longo prazo

Infective endocarditis remains a serious condition with high morbidity and mortality rates despite advances in diagnostic and therapy. While the

Introduction Valvular heart disease contributes to an important portion of hospital admissions. It can progress to heart failure and death, and it ranks eighth among the causes of mortality due to cardiovascular diseases in Brazil. From the moment that a valve disease becomes anatomically important and has clinical repercussions, only interventional treatment (conventional surgery or transcatheter technique) is able to alter the natural course of the disease., The choice of intervention leads to the need for individualized evaluation of the [...] Introduction Valvular heart disease contributes to an important portion of hospital admissions.
