Brain-heart axis: Strokes change epigenetics of immune system
Science Daily - Heart Disease
JULY 23, 2024
A stroke not only causes acute damage to the brain, but can also have long-term health implications for other organs -- such as the heart. Researchers have worked on the hypothesis that the high rate of comorbidities that develop after a stroke could have a common immunological cause. And they actually managed to find it: The origin of the dysfunctions in other parts of the body lies in the immunological memory of the blood-forming cells in bone marrow.
A prehospital ECG in a patient with chest pain. The paramedics tell me it is normal.
Dr. Smith's ECG Blog
JULY 23, 2024
I was working at triage when the medics brought this patient who is 65 yo and has had chest pain for 12 hours. They recorded a prehospital ECG at 2112 and said that it was “normal”. It had already been crumpled up and put in the waste basket. So I uncrumpled it: What do you think? You need to click on it to enlarge it to view it well I was suspicious for inferior and posterior OMI (Large T-wave in aVF, slight STE in lead III with inverted T-wave in aVL, and a slightly downsloping ST with negativ

How does the brain respond to sleep apnea?
Science Daily - Heart Disease
JULY 23, 2024
Nearly 40 million adults in the U.S. have sleep apnea, and more than 30 million of them use a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine while sleeping. However, the machines tend to be expensive, clunky and uncomfortable -- resulting in many users giving up on using them. High blood pressure is often linked with sleep apnea because the brain works harder to regulate blood flow and breathing during sleep.

The Politics of HFpEF—What’s Good for the Left Is Good for the Right
JAMA Cardiology
JULY 23, 2024
Among patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is strongly associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. The RV is especially sensitive to afterload, and abnormalities in the pulmonary circulation leading to increased RV afterload may play a critical role in driving the exercise intolerance and high risk of hospitalization characteristic of HFpEF.
