A new deep learning application provides an automated screening method for left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction. The condition substantially reduces the pumping capacity of the heart and is associated with frequent hospitalizations and a twofold risk of premature death. LV dysfunction is preventable with timely detection and initiation of medications.

This is the ECG of an 81-year-old man with hypertension. Currently, he has no complaints: no palpitations, no shortness of breath, no syncope, no chest pain. The rhythm is irregular, but all P-waves have the same shape. There is a non-respiratory sinus arrhythmia present, which is essentially the minimal variant of a sick sinus syndrome. There are no consequences for the patient resulting from this diagnosis.

This patient presented with vertigo and had an ECG recorded What do you think? I saw this and was worried about inferior OMI due to some subtle STE in III with very worrisome reciprocal findings in aVL. But the well-formed Q-wave and the presence of a normal T-wave in inferior leads led me to believe this was Old Inferior MI with persistent ST Elevation, otherwise known as inferior LV aneurysm.

ST-elevation V2/V3, why? The patient never had chest pain, echocardiography inconspicious. History of several syncopal episodes. But, there is something wrong with the ECG. We observe a sinus rhythm ECG, at first glance, there are ST-elevations in leads V2-V4. No ST-depressions are visible. Upon closer examination, a prominent T-wave is noted, starting immediately after the QRS complex.

Objectives Cardiac rehabilitation following a cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related illness has been shown to reduce the risk of heart attack and hospital admission. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends 3–5 days per week of moderate to vigorous exercise. Despite this, only 38% of those eligible complete rehabilitation programmes. Parkrun organises free, weekly, timed, 5 km running or walking events.

Biventricular endocardial pacing (BiV-endo) and left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) are novel methods of delivering cardiac resynchronization therapy. These techniques are associated with improved activation times and acute hemodynamic response compared with conventional biventricular epicardial pacing (BiV-epi); however, the effects on repolarization and arrhythmic risk are unknown.
