When we learn something new, our brain cells (neurons) communicate with each other through electrical and chemical signals. If the same group of neurons communicate together often, the connections between them get stronger. This process helps our brains learn and remember things and is known as long-term potentiation or LTP. Another type of LTP occurs when the brain is deprived of oxygen temporarily -- anoxia-induced long-term potentiationor aLTP. aLTP blocks the former process, thereby impairin

Written by Jesse McLaren A 45-year-old presented with 24 hours of intermittent chest pain. Below are serial ECGs focusing on the inferior leads and aVL. Can you guess the sequence? First, what’s the interpretation of each ECG on its own? #1 There’s T wave inversion in III/aVF and a taller T wave in aVL and V2. On it’s own this is nonspecific, but in the right context this could be diagonal occlusion (if active chest pain) or infero-posterior reperfusion (if resolved chest pain). #2 Normal ECG #3

Heart disease is the presence of plaque or atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries. (Heart disease can, of course, refer to many other heart-related conditions, but in general, the terms heart disease and coronary artery disease or atherosclerosis are typically used interchangeably ) A heart attack occurs when plaque ruptures in the artery, forming a clot that blocks b
