Written by Jesse McLaren, comments by Smith A 55 year old with a history of NSTEMI presented with two hours of exertional chest pain, with normal vitals. Below is the triage ECG, with a computer interpretation (Marquette 12 SL) of “normal” which was confirmed by the over-reading cardiologist. What do you think? Should this patient continue to stay in the waiting room, without interruption of the physician to interpret the ECG, because the computer interpretation is normal?
Underweight imposes significant burden on cardiovascular outcomes in patients with diabetes mellitus. However, less is known about the impact of serial change in body weight status measured as body mass index.
Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is selective for the myocardium. However, vagal responses and reversible effects on ganglionated plexi (GP) are observed during pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Anterior-right GP ablation has been proven to effectively prevent vagal responses during radiofrequency-based PVI.
This study used a bidirectional 2-sample Mendelian randomization study to investigate the potential causal links between mtDNA copy number and cardiometabolic disease (obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, t.
More than half of patients received return-IBD care via telehealth in the post-COVID period, and those with longer drive times were more likely to continue telehealth care.
First Annual Surgeon Compensation Survey kchalko Sat, 01/27/2024 - 13:29 Cardiothoracic surgeons provide tremendous value to the patients and institutions they serve. But understanding that value, and translating it into fair compensation, has always been a challenge. The First Annual STS Surgeon Compensation Survey was undertaken to help U.S.-based cardiothoracic surgeons understand their value in the market and strengthen their negotiating position with employers.
Asialoglycoprotein receptor 1 (ASGR1), primarily expressed on hepatocytes, promotes the clearance and the degradation of glycoproteins, including lipoproteins, from the circulation. In humans, loss-of-function.
Mediastinal teratoma is an uncommon disease, nevertheless they represent the most common mediastinal germ cell tumors. It may grow silently for several years and remain undiagnosed until the occurrence of a co.
The prognostic value of triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index in general type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients is still unclear. Therefore, we aimed to determine the associations between TyG and all-cause/cause-.
We report a one-stage surgery to the case of secondary aortoenteric fistula (sAEF) after prosthetic reconstruction of abdominal aortic aneurysm, by multifaceted approach.

Cardiac blood cyst is a very rare benign tumor of the heart in adults. Though it is very common in the first half year of life, it regresses with time and its occurrence is very rare in children older than six.
Background We aimed to explore the associations between thigh muscle fat density and vascular events. Methods A total of 3,595 adults (mean age, 57.2 years; women, 1,715 [47.7%]) without baseline cardiovascular events from the Korean Atherosclerosis Study-2 were included. Muscle and fat area at the mid-thigh level were measured by computed tomography (CT) using the following Hounsfield Unit range: 0–30 for low density muscle (LDM); 31–100 for normal density muscle (NDM); and −
Legionella remains underdiagnosed in the intensive care unit and can progress to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), multiorgan failure and death. In severe cases, venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxyge.
Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUNDTo date it is uncertain whether the drip‐and‐ship (DS) model (transport to the nearest primary stroke centers) or the mothership (MS) model (direct transportation to the comprehensive stroke center) is the best prehospital stroke system of care to deliver endovascular thrombectomy in patients with basilar artery occlusion.
Stroke: Vascular and Interventional Neurology, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUNDSymptomatic carotid web with retained thrombus represents a potential source of embolic strokes. However, the absence of diagnostic guidelines contributes to heterogeneity in management recommendations.METHODSWe present a patient with a right middle cerebral artery stroke attributable to carotid web with retained thrombus.
