Written By Magnus Nossen — with edits by Ken Grauer and Smith. The patient in today’s case is a previously healthy 40-something male who contacted EMS due to acute onset crushing chest pain. The pain was 10/10 in intensity radiating bilaterally to the shoulders and also to the left arm and neck. The below ECG was recorded. The ECG shows obvious STEMI(+) OMI due to probable proximal LAD occlusion.

Nature Reviews Cardiology, Published online: 22 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41569-024-01060-8 In this Roadmap arising from an NHLBI workshop, Chew and colleagues explore the use of retinal imaging biomarkers for the prediction, diagnosis and monitoring of systemic cardiovascular diseases. The authors identify knowledge gaps and research opportunities to translate retinal imaging biomarkers into clinical practice.

Nature Reviews Cardiology, Published online: 22 July 2024; doi:10.1038/s41569-024-01065-3 A new study indicates that proteins in the sarcomere complex are stochastically removed and degraded and are replaced by newly translated proteins. Sarcomere turnover occurs at a similar rate within cardiomyocytes and across the heart and slows with ageing.

BackgroundThis Mendelian randomization (MR) study aimed to explore the causal relationship between the genetic predisposition to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and aortic dissection (AD), and to assess associations with genetically predicted glycemic traits. The study sought to verify the inverse relationship between T2DM and AD using a more robust and unbiased method, building on the observational studies previously established.Materials and methodsThe study employed a two-sample and multivari

Despite the elevated mortality rates associated with high-risk pulmonary embolism (PE), this condition remains understudied. Data regarding the effectiveness and safety of invasive therapies such as venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) in this patient population remains controversial. Here, we present the case of a 61-year-old male with high-risk PE associated with refractory cardiac arrest and cardiogenic shock who underwent a combination of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary

The role of generative artificial intelligence (AI), specifically large language models (LLM) in academic medicine, is polarizing. Some journal editors embrace their potential to summarize complex data, while others express concern about their potential abuse1,2. This divide merits an examination of the benefits and limitations of employing LLMs in scholarly work.

Just as we build bypass roads when a city road is too congested, blood vessels of the heart can by bypassed when they have too many total or partial blocks. Coronary arteries are blood vessels supplying oxygenated blood to the heart. As age advances and depending on risk factors like heredity, smoking, high blood pressure and diabetes, fat build up occurs in these blood vessels.
HeartRhythm
JULY 21, 2024
The global health challenge posed by cardiac arrhythmias, particularly atrial fibrillation (AF), is significant, with heightened risks of stroke, heart failure, and systemic embolism1. Traditional arrhythmia detection has often missed transient or asymptomatic episodes, relying on symptomatic presentations and episodic monitoring. The introduction of wearable technology is a potential game-changer, enabling continuous, patient-centric monitoring, and early intervention, a cornerstone for managin
