This is written by Magnus Nossen, with some edits by Smith This ECG diagnosis will be obvious to the majority of the readers of this blog. It is not obvious for the majority of doctors or even cardiologists. A 50 something male was seen in the emergency room due to typical chest pain. The pain had started the same day about two hours prior to medical contact.

Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Volume 3, Issue 6 , November 1, 2023. BackgroundThe establishment of a risk stratification method for unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) remains an interdisciplinary challenge. The present study attempted to identify unstable UIAs using magnetic resonance vessel wall imaging in prospective data sets.

The number of overall studies in conduction system pacing (CSP) are few and far outnumbered by decades of experience with traditional right ventricular and biventricular pacing. While CSP has boldly emerged as a practice-changing evolution of permanent pacing, there remains a relative scarcity of prospective outcome data to justify the explosive global interest and adoption.

Abstract Cardiomyopathies represent significant contributors to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Over the past decades, a progress has occurred in characterization of the genetic background and major pathophysiological mechanisms, which has been incorporated into a more nuanced diagnostic approach and risk stratification. Furthermore, medications targeting core disease processes and/or their downstream adverse effects have been introduced for several cardiomyopathies.
