I have often written about how an ECG interpreted as "normal" by a conventional algorithm may well be manifesting OMI, or even long QT or hyperkalemia. I have collected 51 OMI cases that were diagnosed as completely normal by the conventional automated computer algorithm. Shifa Karim and Gabe Keller helped with a project to assess all these ECGs with the Queen of Hearts.

Totally endoscopic robotic mitral valve repair is the least invasive surgical therapy for mitral valve disease. Robotic mitral valve surgery demonstrates faster recovery with shorter hospital stays, less morbidity, and equivalent mortality and mid-term durability compared to sternotomy. In this review, we will explore the advantages and disadvantages of robotic mitral valve surgery and consider important technical details of both operative set-up and mitral valve repair techniques.

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is the third leading cause of atherosclerotic morbidity after coronary heart disease and stroke yet is widely underdiagnosed and undertreated. Treatment of risk factors such as diabetes and cigarette smoking can benefit patients with PAD.
