ECG Cases

AUGUST 8, 2023

In this ECG Cases blog with Dr. Jesse McLaren we interpret 10 ECG cases and explore cardiac, metabolic and GI causes: We consider anginal equivalents, and look for ECG signs of Occlusion MI, including subacute occlusion from delayed presentations. We consider electrolyte disturbances and look for ECG signs of hyperkalemia or hypokalemia/hypomagnesemia, and we consider the differential of diffuse ST depression with reciprocal ST elevation in aVR, and false positive STEMI.

Cardiovascular diseases, particularly coronary heart disease (CHD), have become an epidemic in India. Shockingly, 9 out of every 1000 newborns are diagnosed with CHD annually. This means that 240,000 children born with CHD each year pose a significant challenge for healthcare providers and families. Additionally, it is worth noting that 20% of children diagnosed with CHDs do not survive beyond their first year of life.

Albert Einstein famously referred to compound interest as the 8th wonder of the world. It is a powerful example of exponential growth. This is why investing in your financial pension from a young age, even in small amounts, is such a powerful retirement tool. Just $10,000 left to compound annually for 35 years at 5% interest will be worth $55,000. If you were to add $250 per month over the same 35 years to that same plan, it would be worth $326,000 1.

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Ahead of Print. The burden of acute ischemic stroke varies among racial and ethnic groups. Black adults face a higher incidence of stroke as well as higher rates of mortality. Thrombolytic therapy is under‐utilized in Black adults, and recent data show that endovascular thrombectomy is also under‐utilized for Black and Hispanic adults in the United States.

BackgroundThe Rapid Arterial oCclusion Evaluation (RACE) score can identify patients with anterior circulation large‐vessel occlusion (aLVO) ischemic stroke for transportation to a comprehensive stroke center for endovascular thrombectomy. However, patients with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) may also benefit from direct transportation to a comprehensive stroke center for neurosurgical treatment.
