I had the enormous honour of interviewing Dr. Ben McKenzie, EM physician and a PhD candidate at the University of Melbourne studying the topic of resuscitation algorithms in anaphylaxis and asthma. The tragic death of his son Ben McKenzie at the age 15 from hypoxic respiratory arrest as a result of anaphylaxis and asthma in 2021 has led Dr. McKenzie on a mission to prevent deaths from anaphylaxis and asthma by educating emergency providers around the world using his AMAX4 algorithm as a framewor

2 middle aged males presented with chest pain. Which had the more severe chest pain at the time of the ECG? Here is the ECG of patient 1 , recorded about 2 hours after pain onset: A Massive Anterolateral STEMI/OMI Peak troponin I over 60,000 ng/L Here is the ECG of patient 2 , recorded about 2 hours after pain onset: This is OMI, but it is not STEMI Peak troponin I 440 ng/L Patient 1 at the top with the massive ST Elevation complained of 5/10 chest pain at the time the ECG was recorded.

When a patient joins my practice, I always ask about sleep. I do this for three reasons: There is a relationship between short sleep and worse cardiovascular outcomes. Poor sleep generally impacts cognitive well-being, nutrition and exercise routines, all of which are key pillars of cardiovascular health. To assess if they have a sleep condition called obstructive sleep apnea, which is also tightly linked to cardiovascular disease and can be treated.

An estimated 80 percent of older adults in the U.S. have high blood pressure. Maintaining healthy blood pressure can protect against serious conditions like heart failure, heart attacks, and strokes. A new study found that adding a relatively minimal amount of movement, about 3,000 steps per day, can significantly reduce high blood pressure in older adults.

Despite advances in catheter ablation and epicardial access techniques, surgical treatment of ventricular tachycardia (VT) continues to have a role in patients with arrhythmic substrates that are not accessible or amenable to treatment by percutaneous techniques.1–4 In addition, the need for other cardiac surgery can be exploited as an opportunity for concomitant direct mapping and ablation.5,6 Because surgical treatment of VT is used rather infrequently, there is a paucity of data comparing dif

Circulation: Heart Failure, Volume 16, Issue 11 , Page e010117, November 1, 2023. BACKGROUND:Microvascular function in the brain and heart may play an important role in the course of patients with heart failure (HF), but its relationship with ventricular and cognitive function is not well understood. We hypothesized that microvascular function in HF is closely related to both, cardiac and cognitive function.METHODS:In healthy controls and symptomatic patients with HF (New York Heart Association
