A BMJ study out of Denmark provided alarming new insights into atrial fibrillation’s impact on patients’ future cardiovascular health, while highlighting the need to improve post-AFib heart failure and stroke prevention. Danish people who didn’t have AFib at baseline (45-95yrs, 48yr avg, 51.7% overall, increasing from 24.2%
"Based on the results from the admIRE clinical trial, we are confident that this innovation has the promise to deliver significant value and differentiated capabilities, and become an important tool for the treatment of AFib." 2,3 Approximately 1 in 4 adults over the age of 40 are at risk for developing AFib. In the U.S.,
Within the last six months, separate AI-ECG algorithms for detecting Low Ejection Fraction (Anumana), Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (Viz.ai), and Occlusion Myocardialinfarction (Powerful Medical) have all been granted regulatory clearance (the latter under the EU MDR) and are in the early stages of deployment.
A very large myocardialinfarction. The next day the ECG not unexpectedly shows a completed transmural inferior and posterior wall infarction. The delayed activation of the cath lab would have been avoided had the treating physicians been trained in recognizing occlusion myocardialinfarction.
AFIB/AFL – atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter episodes. Other times, an irregular recording can signal a medical emergency, such as a myocardialinfarction or a dangerous arrhythmia. Supraventricular tachycardia – more than 7 consecutive complexes of supraventricular beats at a rate of > 100 bpm.
OPTION Trial : LAAC after AFib ablation was associated with lower risks of major bleeding compared to oral anticoagulation. The NUDGE-FLU trial revealed cardiovascular-focused messaging increased flu vaccination rates in myocardialinfarction patients. Access the full study. View the study.
Alternatively , it is someone who has an old myocardialinfarction and is now very sick with something else. As per Dr. Smith — this suggests that despite QRS widening, the rhythm in ECG #3 is AFib with a rapid ventricular response. Below is my response. There is sinus tach. There is an incomplete RBBB and LAFB.
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. We now see that QRS morphology in lead II during sinus rhythm is similar to the QRS morphology in lead II during rapid AFib (beats #1-5 in lead II in A).
Meyers, awareness that this patient had just been started on Flecainide for treatment of AFib, but without concomitant use of an AV nodal blocking agent — greatly increases the likelihood that the SVT rhythm in ECG #1 is the result of a proarrhythmic effect of Flecainide ( ie, conversion of AFib to AFlutter with 1:1 AV conduction ).
With the history of Afib, CTA abdomen was ordered to r/o mesenteric ischemia vs ischemic colitis vs small bowel obstruction. New insights into the use of the 12-lead electrocardiogram for diagnosing acute myocardialinfarction in the emergency department. See this case: what do you think the echocardiogram shows in this case?
AF is associated with an increased risk of death as well as multiple adverse outcomes, including stroke, cognitive impairment or dementia, myocardialinfarction, sudden cardiac death, heart failure (HF), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and peripheral artery disease (PAD). million.
The April 6, 2023 post — excessive baseline artifact misdiagnosed as AFib ( instead of sinus rhythm with AV Wenckebach — as in Figure-4 in this post ). This is then a large MI, but it is subacute. There was a previous ECG available for review: This shows baseline STE in inferior leads, including lead III. The March 17, 2023 post — for PTA.
