Lifestyle and Stress Management in Women During COVID-19 Pandemic: Impact on Cardiovascular Risk Burden
No full textCoV-19/SARS-CoV-2 (coronavirus 2019/severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) is a virus that has caused a pandemic with high numbers of deaths worldwide. To contain the diffusion of infection, several governments have enforced restrictions on outdoor activities on the population. Today, we are witnessing the so-called “second wave” COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) with an increasing number of cases similar to the one reported at the beginning of the current year. It is plausible that further restrictions will be applied to contain the “second wave” of infections. The present commentary evaluated the effects of stress on lifestyle during the COVID-19 pandemic in women. We briefly suggest practical recommendations for women to reduce stress and recovery for a healthy lifestyle after quarantine. Quarantine is associated with stress and depression, which lead to unhealthy lifestyle, including unhealthy diet, smoking, alcohol, and reduced physical activity. Women are more likely to suffer from depression and stress and quarantine has acted as a trigger. The prolongation of the COVID-19 pandemic around the world requires decisive action to correct the unhealthy lifestyle that has developed in recent months

Full text linkDespite significant progress in the field of therapy and management, chronic heart failure (CHF) still remains one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality, especially among the elderly in Western countries. In particular, frequent episodes of decompensation and, consequently, repeated hospitalizations represent an unsustainable burden for national health systems and the cause of worsening quality of life. CHF is more prevalent in elderly women, who often have “peculiar” clinical characteristics and a more preserved ejection fraction caused by endothelial dysfunction and micro-vessel damage. At the moment, noninvasive technologies that are able to remotely monitor these patients are not widely available yet, and clinical trials are underway to evaluate invasive remote sensors. Unfortunately, implantable devices for identifying decompensation are not the most practical solution in the majority of of patients with chronic heart failure. In particular, they are hypothesized to have the possibility of monitoring patients by pro-B-type natriuretic peptide, ventricular repolarization variability, and bioimpedance cardiography at the first point of care, but new technology and clinical trials must be planned to address the development and spread of these emergent possibilities
