This was sent to me by a reader who wishes to remain anonymous. A lady in her 60s came to the ER with chest discomfort and shortness of breath. She had a history of previous anterior MI treated by primary PCI to the proximal LAD. The first EKG is from 2:30 PM on the day of presentation to the ER. Smith : To me this is a blatantly obvious acute anterior OMI.

BackgroundSepsis is characterized by high morbidity and mortality rates, alongside limited therapeutic efficacy. Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common arrhythmia, has been closely linked to sepsis in prior research. However, the specific mechanisms through which sepsis leads to new-onset AF remain poorly understood. This study focuses on identifying critical genes that are dysregulated in the development of new-onset AF within the context of sepsis, with the goal of uncovering new potential
