Cost of Cardiovascular Disease Event and Cardiovascular Disease Treatment–Related Complication Hospitalizations in the United States

Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality & Outcomes

We aimed to develop standardized, nationally representative CVD events and selected possible CVD treatment–related complication hospitalization costs for use in cost-effectiveness analyses.METHODS:Nationally representative costs were derived using publicly available inpatient hospital discharge data from the 2012-2018 National Inpatient Sample.

A Middle-Aged male with Chest Pain and an Unusual ECG

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Only 5-18% of ED patients with chest pain have a myocardial infarction of any kind. In all myocardial infarctions which manifest on the ECG, there is some evolution over time as the infarct progresses and completes, or reperfuses. == Comment by K EN G RAUER, MD ( 5/6/2019 ): == This case by Dr. Acute febrile illness.

Patient is informed of her husband's death: is it OMI or it stress cardiomyopathy?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Within ten minutes, she developed bradycardia, hypotension, and ST changes on monitor. If this were OMI, I would favor proximal RCA culprit (since that commonly produces inferolateral changes and occasionally produces anterior HATW from RV infarct ), but LAD is also possible. Bradycardia and heart block are very common in RCA OMI.

Unconscious + STEMI criteria: activate the cath lab?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

This ECG shows a sinus bradycardia with a normal conduction pattern (normal PR, normal QRS, and normal QTc), normal axis, normal R-wave progression, normal voltages. Clinical questions : Is this an occlusion myocardial infarction and does the patient need the cath lab? There is marked sinus bradycardia. What do you think?
