AbstractA woman carrying monochorionic twins underwent sudden cardiopulmonary arrest at 31 weeks of gestation due to spontaneous coronary artery dissection in the hospital. The resuscitation techniques, with her uterus manually displaced to her left, were initiated immediately and maternal spontaneous circulation was resumed 18 min later. A cesarean section was performed 2 h after the revival and the patient was kept hypothermic for 24 h. Finally, full recovery of both mother and twins was achieved. As in this case, the resuscitation techniques for pregnant women recommended by the American Heart Association, and therapeutic hypothermia, might be effective and contribute much to the survival and recovery of patients.

Background: In response to the public health emergency created by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, American Heart Association volunteers and staff aimed to rapidly develop and launch a resource for the medical and research community to expedite scientific advancement through shared learning, quality improvement, and research. In <4 weeks after it was first announced on April 3, 2020, AHA’s COVID-19 CVD Registry powered by Get With The Guidelines received its first clinical records. Methods and Results: Participating hospitals are enrolling consecutive hospitalized patients with active COVID-19 disease, regardless of CVD status. This hospital quality improvement program will allow participating hospitals and health systems to evaluate patient-level data including mortality rates, intensive care unit bed days, and ventilator days from individual review of electronic medical records of sequential adult patients with active COVID-19 infection. Participating sites can leverage these data for onsite, rapid quality improvement, and benchmarking versus other institutions. After 9 weeks, >130 sites have enrolled in the program and >4000 records have been abstracted in the national dataset. Additionally, the aggregate dataset will be a valuable data resource for the medical research community. Conclusions: The AHA COVID-19 CVD Registry will support greater understanding of the impact of COVID-19 on cardiovascular disease and will inform best practices for evaluation and management of patients with COVID-19.
