Prediction of postoperative stroke in patients experienced coronary artery bypass grafting surgery: a machine learning approach

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

According to the analysis of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, AUC, DCA and sensitivity, all seven machine learning models perform well and random forest (RF) machine model was found to perform best (AUC-ROC=0.9008, Accuracy: 0.9008, Precision: 0.6905; Recall: 0.7532, F1: 0.7205).

ECG in LMCA Stenosis

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Such a pattern is consistent with significant left main coronary artery stenosis. Clinical evaluation and X-Ray chest showed features of pulmonary edema. Angiography done after initial stabilization showed severe stenosis of distal left main coronary artery.

Diffuse Subendocardial Ischemia on the ECG. Left main? 3-vessel disease? No!

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

A transthoracic echocardiogram showed an LV EF of less than 15%, critically severe aortic stenosis , severe LVH , and a small LV cavity. The patient was transported to the CCU for further medical optimization where a pulmonary artery catheter was placed. If you see this, you should Doppler the valve.

Pulmonary edema, with tachycardia and OMI on the ECG -- what is going on?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

I suspect pulmonary edema, but we are not given information on presence of B-lines on bedside ultrasound, or CXR findings. Anything that causes pulmonary edema: poor LV function, fluid overload, previous heart failure (HFrEF or HFpEF), valvular disease. What "initiates" the aortic stenosis cascade? She was started on lasix.

Are there hyperacute T-waves? And how can we know?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Angiogram: Severe two-vessel coronary artery disease of a left dominant system including 70 to 80% stenosis involving the distal left main/bifurcation. By itself seeing this ECG pattern does not necessarily mean that the patient has a pulmonary embolism. The estimated left ventricular ejection fraction is 64%.
