The cardiovascular complications of acute coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are well described, but the post-acute cardiovascular manifestations of COVID-19 have not yet been comprehensively characterized. Here we used national healthcare databases from the US Department of Veterans Affairs to build a cohort of 153,760 individuals with COVID-19, as well as two sets of control cohorts with 5,637,647 (contemporary controls) and 5,859,411 (historical controls) individuals, to estimate risks and 1-year burdens of a set of pre-specified incident cardiovascular outcomes.

Pediatric advanced life support (PALS) guidelines include weight-based epinephrine dosing recommendations of 0.01 mg/kg with a maximum of 1 mg, which corresponds to a weight of 100 kg. But what are the actual practice patterns? Elizabeth H. Mack, MD, MS, FCCM, is joined by Martha Kienzle, MD, to discuss the article “Weight-Based Versus Flat Dosing of Epinephrine During Cardiac Arrest in the PICU: A Multicenter Survey,” published in the October 2022 issue of Pediatric Critical Care Medicine (Kienzle M, et al. Pediatr Crit Care Med. 2022;23:e451-e455). Dr. Kienzle is an attending physician in the Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care Medicine at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
