The ECG in Figure-1 — was obtained from a middle-aged man who presented to the ED ( E mergency D epartment ) in cardiac arrest. ROSC ( R eturn O f S pontaneous C irculation ) was obtained — and ECG #1 was recorded. In view of this history — How would YOU interpret the ECG in Figure-1 ? Should you activate the cath lab? Figure-1: The initial ECG in today's case. ( To improve visualization — I've digitized the original ECG using PMcardio ).

Fatty liver disease (SLD) is increasingly causing failure of the liver as a vital organ. A team led by researchers from the Institute of Metabolic Physiology at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf (HHU) in collaboration with the German Diabetes Center (DDZ) and other partners has now discovered that a saturated fatty acid in blood vessels leads to the production of the signaling molecule SEMA3A, which closes the "windows" in the blood vessels.
