Top 10 Cardiac Diagnosis Trends in 2024

GEMMS

Traditional tools like stethoscopes, blood pressure gauges, and electrocardiograms (ECG) are fundamental for standard diagnostic practices. This transformation extends to the use of machine learning (ML) algorithms developed by startups, which analyze medical imaging data such as ECGs, echocardiograms, and cardiac MRI scans.

Simultaneous Takotsubo syndrome and spontaneous coronary artery dissection: a case report

The British Journal of Cardiology

The electrocardiogram (ECG) revealed T-wave inversions on precordial leads. Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) findings were consistent with Takotsubo syndrome, accompanied by mild left ventricular dysfunction. Her blood analyses demonstrated elevation of myocardial necrosis markers (peak of troponin I of 3.4

Circulation

Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4135360-A4135360, November 12, 2024. Electrocardiogram (EKG) was unremarkable. Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) showed an ejection fraction (EF) of 40% and a moderate-large pericardial effusion with signs of tamponade. He was decannulated from ECMO on day 10.

See how bad the outcome can be if you don't know OMI findings on the ECG, and don't use the Queen of Hearts

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

The attending provider wrote “Agree with electrocardiogram interpretation”. An echocardiogram showed severely reduced global systolic function with an EF of 20-25% and an LV apical thrombus. An echocardiogram showed an EF of 20-25%. The computer diagnostic algorithm diagnosed “Sinus rhythm. Normal EKG”. Normal ECG.

Abstract 4145609: The Cardiac Conundrum of Cannabis: A Case of Junctional Bradycardia Triggered by Cannabis Use

Circulation

Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4145609-A4145609, November 12, 2024. Electrocardiogram (ECG) and telemetry revealed junctional bradycardia with heart rate in 30s and sinus pauses (5-7 seconds). Echocardiogram was unchanged from baseline. Introduction:Cannabis has been increasingly used as a recreational drug.
