Multicenter Study
Mortality risk factors in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection and atrial fibrillation: Data from the SEMI-COVID-19 registry.
Atrial fibrillation and associated comorbidities pose a risk factor for mortality, morbidity and development of complications in patients admitted for COVID-19. ⋯ Previous treatment with DOACs and DOACs treatment during admission seem to have a protective role in patients with atrial fibrillation, although this fact should be verified in prospective studies.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Physical training program for people at risk of cardiovascular disorders in the primary care setting: A randomized clinical trial.
The impact of a physical training program on moderate-vigorous physical activity is still poorly known in primary cardiovascular prevention. Our objective was to determine the efficacy of a physical training program to promote moderate-vigorous physical activity and exercise in individuals at risk of suffering a cardiovascular event. ⋯ A short-duration physical training program performed in the primary care setting is efficacious and safe in promoting moderate-vigorous physical activity and exercise in the short-term, in a population at risk of suffering a cardiovascular event.

Diagnosing pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) is difficult. Clinical probability scales (CPS) can help. The aim is to find out which one is the best. ⋯ The YEARS scale is shown to be better than the others due to its potential greater number of imaging tests avoided and the degree of application of the CPS could be improved.

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autoinflammatory disease characterized by polyserositis and arthritis attacks, which are mediated by increased plasma levels of cytokines. Our hypothesis was that the increase in specific cytokines can also lead to portal hypertension, even in the absence of overt hepatic steatosis. ⋯ The FMF group had significantly lower peak portal blood flow velocity than the control group, indicating the existence of portal hypertension. However, the differences between the other findings that correlate with portal hypertension were not significant.
