Annualised progression rates of AS severity were compared between these 3 groups.

Aslanger's pattern (Smith was co-author on this): A new electrocardiographic pattern indicating inferior myocardial infarction The next troponin returned at 8822 ng/L.

Two late-breaking studies presented at ESC Congress 2024 in London looked at the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to aid in the identification of patients undergoing a stress echocardiogram who could benefit from further treatment, and to help with identifying and managing myocardial infarction (MI) in patients presenting to the emergency department (..)

In patients with AIS with rising cTn, acute ischemic myocardial infarction was present in 54%, compared with 33% in those with falling cTn (P<0.01). Twenty‐two percent of patients with a rising pattern had an isolated dynamic cTn in the absence of any ECG or echocardiogram changes, compared with 53% with falling cTn.
