That preventative focus seems to be bringing an embrace of a wider range of risk factors and risk detection methods (well beyond blood pressure and LDL-C). Depending on who you talk to, we could be headed towards a completely new anticoagulation standard of care.

Still Irregular Blood pressure during these rhythms was adequate; there was no shock. As per Dr. Smith — this suggests that despite QRS widening, the rhythm in ECG #3 is AFib with a rapid ventricular response. FINAL PEARL #3: When AFib is fast — the rhythm may at first glance look like it is regular.

The patient also has a history of AFib and HFmrEF ( = H eart F ailure with M inimally- R educed E jection F raction ). Therefore — Just because a patient remains awake and alert with an adequate blood pressure for an extended period of time does not rule out the possibility sustained VT.

Resuscitation was initiated and this ECG was obtained: Likely AFib (irregularly irregular) with bradycardia. During this time, the patients blood pressure continued to decline, requiring 4 pressors to sustain hemodynamics. STD in V2 from posterior MI can "pull down" the STE in V1 and negate it. prior to cath, which was started.

This is because stress causes an increase in cortisol – the primary stress hormone – leading to increases in blood pressure , cholesterol, blood sugar and heart rate. Cold temperatures alone impact the body by causing the coronary arteries to constrict, blood pressure to rise and the heart to work harder.

Therefore, the patient was put on arterio-venous ECMO. Then an angiogram was done. There was a 100% Left Main Occlusion (OMI).

The EMS narrative reports that her blood pressure and oxygenation improved modestly with rhythm stability for transport duration. The QRS is wide in B — but the rhythm is irregularly irregular with no sinus P waves — so this most probably represents rapid AFib with an atypical RBBB/LPHB morphology.

It is also possible that a blood clot may form somewhere else in the body and then can get dislodged and find its way into the vessels leading to the brain and can get lodged in one of the vessels and therefore disrupt the blood supply and cause brain cell death. This is called cardioembolism. This is the link to the video.

AF and dementia both affect older people and sicker people esp those that have vascular risk factors such as diabetes and high blood pressure and I am sure that is true to an extent and therefore it is also way crucial when we manage patients with AF, that we tackle additional risk factors.
