Guidance on diagnosis, prevention and treatment of thromboembolic complications in COVID-19: a position paper of the Brazilian Society of Thrombosis and Hemostasis and the Thrombosis and Hemostasis Committee of the Brazilian Association of Hematology, Hemotherapy and Cellular Therapy
Orsi FA, et al. Hematol Transfus Cell Ther 2020 - Review.
ABSTRACT
Hemostatic abnormalities and thrombotic risk associated with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are among the most discussed topics in the management of this disease. The aim of this position paper is to provide the opinion of Brazilian experts on the thromboprophylaxis and management of thrombotic events in patients with suspected COVID-19, in the sphere of healthcare in Brazil. To do so, the Brazilian Society of Thrombosis and Hemostasis (BSTH) and the Thrombosis and Hemostasis Committee of the Brazilian Association of Hematology, Hemotherapy and Cellular Therapy (ABHH) have constituted a panel of experts to carefully review and discuss the available evidence about this topic. The data discussed in this document was reviewed by May 9, 2020. Recommendations and suggestions reflect the opinion of the panel and should be reviewed periodically as new evidence emerges.

Establishing an oncocardiology service
Lehmann LH and Totzeck M. Herz 2020 - Review.
ABSTRACT
Oncocardiology is an emerging field in cardiovascular healthcare. Besides establishing surveillance and follow-up strategies for cancer patients, it will be essential to set up specialized oncocardiology services. However, there is a lack of clinical studies to give evidence-based recommendations regarding cardiological diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for cancer patients. An oncocardiology service is a patient-centered structure that aims to integrate research and interdisciplinary patient care to bridge this gap. We discuss the current challenges in developing an oncocardiology service and review the literature on this topic. We further provide an overview of the essential diagnostic tools and upcoming ethical issues to be considered in the management of oncology patients.

High molecular weight kininogen contributes to early mortality and kidney dysfunction in a mouse model of sickle cell disease
Sparkenbaugh EM, et al. J Thromb Haemost 2020.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Sickle cell disease (SCD) is characterized by chronic hemolytic anemia, vaso-occlusive crises, chronic inflammation, and activation of coagulation. The clinical complications such as painful crisis, stroke, pulmonary hypertension, nephropathy and venous thromboembolism lead to cumulative organ damage and premature death. High molecular weight kininogen (HK) is a central cofactor for the kallikrein-kinin and intrinsic coagulation pathways, which contributes to both coagulation and inflammation.
OBJECTIVE: We hypothesize that HK contributes to the hypercoagulable and pro-inflammatory state that causes end-organ damage and early mortality in sickle mice.
METHODS: We evaluated the role of HK in the Townes mouse model of SCD.
RESULTS/CONCLUSIONS: We found elevated plasma levels of cleaved HK in sickle patients compared to healthy controls, suggesting ongoing HK activation in SCD. We used bone marrow transplantation to generate wild type and sickle cell mice on a HK-deficient background. We found that short-term HK deficiency attenuated thrombin generation and inflammation in sickle mice at steady state, which was independent of bradykinin signaling. Moreover, long-term HK deficiency attenuates kidney injury, reduces chronic inflammation, and ultimately improves of sickle mice.

High incidence of venous thromboembolism and major bleeding in patients with primary CNS lymphoma
Mahajan A, et al. Leuk Lymphoma 2020.
ABSTRACT
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) and major bleeding in primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) patients are not well described. We identified 992 PCNSL patients using the California Cancer Registry (2005-2014). The cumulative incidence of VTE and major bleeding was determined using California hospitalization data. The 12-month cumulative incidence of VTE was 13.6% (95% confidence interval (CI) 11.5-15.8%); chemotherapy and radiation therapy were associated with increased risk of VTE (hazard ratio (HR) 2.41, CI 1.31-4.46 and HR 1.56, CI 1.08-2.25, respectively). The 12-month cumulative incidence of major bleeding was 12.4% (CI 10.1-14.6%). Pulmonary embolism (PE) and proximal deep vein thrombosis were associated with increased risk of major bleeding, likely due to anticoagulation. PE (HR 1.61, CI 1.11-2.33, p=.011) and major bleeding (HR 2.36, CI 1.82-3.06, p<.0001)

Cardiac Imaging in Oncology Patients in Europe: a Model for Advancement of CV Safety and Development of Comprehensive CV Care
López-Fernández T. J Cardiovasc Transl Res 2020 - Review.
ABSTRACT
Cancer therapy-related cardiovascular events are widely recognized as a global problem, and cardio-oncology has been proposed as a new approach to coordinate preventive strategies in oncologic patients. Cardiac imaging plays a critical role in this process. This article summarizes current practices and future needs in cardiac imaging to improve the cardiovascular surveillance of cancer patients.

Primary pericardial angiosarcoma: case report and review of treatment options
Yadav U and Mangla A. Ecancermedicalscience 2020.
ABSTRACT
A primary cardiac angiosarcoma is a rare type of soft-tissue sarcoma with a high mortality rate. This report describes a young woman who presented with chest pain and worsening shortness of breath over the course of a year. She was diagnosed with and treated for latent tuberculosis and autoimmune pericarditis over the last year, however, her condition kept worsening. Further workup revealed a large pericardial and right atrial mass associated with multiple lung nodules. The biopsy from the lung mass showed angiosarcoma, and she was diagnosed with primary metastatic angiosarcoma of the pericardium. She was treated with doxorubicin and Ifosfamide (AIM-75 regimen), which led to a partial response. However, soon after completion of six cycles, the tumour progressed rapidly, leading to cardio-respiratory failure. In this report, we will discuss the clinical challenges and treatment options (surgical and medical) that are available for treating patients with angiosarcoma of the heart.
