BackgroundAcute aortic dissection is a lethal cardiovascular emergency; early diagnosis is critically necessary. Novel serum biomarkers can potentially help in early detection and estimation of postoperative outcomes. Yes-associated protein (YAP) is a critical effector of the Hippo pathway, our aim was to explore the association between YAP and the diagnosis and prognosis of AD.MethodsWe prospectively recruited 110 consecutive chest-pain patients [acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD), n=60; ac

ObjectivesThe occurrence of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in competitive athletes has led to a discussion about appropriate preparticipation screening models. The role of an electrocardiogram (ECG) in routine testing remains controversial in current guidelines. Furthermore, data on cardiac findings and the prognostic utility of screening strategies in young female elite ice hockey is scarce.MethodsFemale elite ice hockey players were enrolled in the open prospective General Evaluation Program for A

BackgroundArtificial intelligence (AI) has been widely adopted for the prediction of latent shock occurrence in critically ill patients in intensive care units (ICUs). However, the usefulness of an ICU-based model to predict latent shock risk in an emergency department (ED) setting remains unclear. This study aimed to develop an AI model to predict latent shock risk in patients admitted to EDs.MethodsMultiple regression analysis was used to compare the difference between Medical Information Mart

BackgroundPrevious studies suggest that frailty increases the risk of mortality, but the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality in Chinese community-dwelling older adults remains understudied. Our aim was to explore the effect of frailty on cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in older adults based on a large-scale prospective survey of community-dwelling older adults in China.MethodsWe utilized the 20142018 cohort of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey and

From time to time, we like to publish an ECG that is "within normal limits". While ECGs each look slightly different, there are defined parameters that are considered to be normal. Using the taxonomy terms in the Scrollable List provided on this site, you can easily find and compare the "normal" ECGs. This is taken from a 45-year-old male with a lean body type.
