An older patient with no previous medical history arrived at triage complaining of SOB. Her heart rate was very fast, so we obtained an ECG immediately: ECG: What do you think? There is a regular wide complex tachycardia. The QRS morphology is RBBB with LAFB (tiny r-waves in inferior leads followed by deep S-waves; tiny q-wave in aVL followed by large R-wave; Left axis deviation).

We do a terrible job of identifying and managing high blood pressure. We can send spacecraft across the solar system. We have managed to harness the power of the atom. And we still do an awful job of identifying and managing high blood pressure. Here’s why. And what to do about it. The Scale Of The Problem. As a risk factor for death, high blood pressure is responsible for more deaths than any other risk factor, including smoking.

BackgroundThe alpha-protein kinase 3 (ALPK3) gene (OMIM: 617608) is associated with autosomal recessive familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy-27 (CMH27, OMIM: 618052). Recently, several studies have shown that monoallelic premature terminating variants (PTVs) in ALPK3 are associated with adult-onset autosomal dominant hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCMP).

IntroductionPrimary pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) is a rare congenital heart disease that proves to be a clinical challenge due to the rapidly progressive disease course and high rates of treatment complications. PVS intervention is frequently faced with in-stent restenosis and persistent disease progression despite initial venous recanalization with balloon angioplasty or stenting.

Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a non-invasive approach to capture the overall electrical activity produced by the contraction and relaxation of the cardiac muscles. It has been established in the literature that the difference between ECG-derived age and chronological age represents a general measure of cardiovascular health. Elevated ECG-derived age strongly correlates with cardiovascular conditions (e.g., atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease).

Medical practitioners are entrusted with the pivotal task of making optimal decisions in healthcare delivery. Despite rigorous training, our confidence in reasoning can fail when faced with pressures, uncertainties, urgencies, difficulties, and occasional errors. Day-to-day decisions rely on swift, intuitive cognitive processes known as heuristic or type 1 decision-making, which, while efficient in most scenarios, harbor inherent vulnerabilities leading to systematic errors.

BackgroundVasospastic angina usually presents with intermittent episodes of chest pain. It can rarely be associated with the perception of phantom odors.Case summaryA 69-year-old woman presented for evaluation of intermittent shortness of breath and chest pain. She reported that she often experienced an abnormal smell sensation just prior to the event.

Stroke, Ahead of Print. Air pollution exposure is linked to an increased risk of stroke. Elevated levels of pollution (carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrous oxide, sulfur dioxide, coarse particulate matter [PM10], and especially fine particulate matter [PM2.5]) cause systemic inflammation after the particles are inhaled and lodge into lung tissue, causing an increased incidence of stroke, hospitalizations for stroke, and stroke mortality.

Left-sided bioprosthesis valve thrombosis (LSBVT) is a challenging complication necessitating invasive interventions. In this study, we introduce a novel, minimally invasive approach. We used a cerebral embolic protection system and an Occlutech cannula connected to an extracorporeal circuit, providing safer thrombus aspiration compared to the AngioVac system.

Coronary artery disease is caused by the buildup of atherosclerotic plaque in the coronary arteries, affecting the blood supply to the heart, one of the leading causes of death around the world. X-ray coronary angiography is the most common procedure for diagnosing coronary artery disease, which uses contrast material and x-rays to observe vascular lesions.
