The ECG in Figure-1 — was obtained on the scene by EMS ( E mergency M edical S ervices ). The patient was a man in his 90s, who ~1 hour earlier, noted the onset of severe CP ( C hest P ain ). He was hemodynamically stable — but clearly distressed with a sense of “impending doom” at the time ECG #1 was recorded. Despite the patient’s age — he was independent, lived alone, had good mental function — and had family support.

Regenerative heart therapies involve transplanting cardiac muscle cells into damaged areas of the heart to recover lost function. However, the risk of arrhythmias following this procedure is reportedly high. In a recent study, researchers tested a novel approach that involves injecting 'cardiac spheroids,' cultured from human stem cells, directly into damaged ventricles.

A new JAMA study suggests that statins might have a massive impact on HFpEF care, even among patients who don’t have atherosclerosis. Statins are one of the most-prescribed drug classes in the world, but there’s still little data on their heart failure benefits, especially for HFpEF patients. The two major RCTs evaluating statins as a heart failure treatment (CORONA and GISSI-HF) didn’t show significant benefits, although they mainly focused on HFrEF patients.

Coronary artery disease is caused by the retention of a cholesterol particle in the artery wall. This is the spark that sets the fire. But if a retained cholesterol particle is the spark. Insulin resistance is the gasoline poured on that spark. Everyone exists on a spectrum from insulin-sensitive to insulin-resistant. On the far end of that line is type two diabetes.
