Circulation

Frailty and CVD are often interrelated, affecting disease and treatment outcomes. Frailty is a syndrome of physiological decline, characterized by marked vulnerability to adverse health outcomes. Frailty is prevalent in adults with IHD requiring PCI. 10.23), intracranial hemorrhage (AOR = 4.65, 95% CI: 2.18-10.82),

Why ICDs are less effective in Non Ischemic DCM ?

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

We wish, our understanding about cardiac contractile physiology is deep and nearly complete. 2020) The un-disputable fact is ischemic DCM has a target to treat, though it is termed as cardiomyopathy. Heart is an irreversibly coupled electro-mechanical organ , right from the fetal days until the final heart beat. Circulation.

A man in his 80s with chest pain and ventricular paced rhythm

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Unfortunately, no futher outcome is known (echo, survival, etc.) That said — as we have shown in multiple posts on Dr. Smith’s ECG Blog ( See My Comments in the October 5, 2020 and the October 3, 2018 posts) — there will often be clues to OMI on a paced ECG — IF you know how to look for them. Final diagnosis: NSTEMI.
