This was texted to me. An 80-something woman who presented with chest pain and dyspnea. What do you think? The rhythm appears to be atrial fibrillation. In any case, it is clearly a supraventricular rhythm. There is significant ST depression in V2-V4. Is this posterior OMI? Before jumping to any conclusions about the significance of ST-T abnormalities, you must first be certain that they are not a result of (secondary to) any QRS abnormalities.

Recently I came across an article which highlights the lack of attention for heart diseases. In 2019 the “our world of data” initiative published the results of a comparison study regarding the the reasons for death in the USA in the years before the pandemic hit the world. The article, written by Hanah Ritchie has the title: Does the news reflect what we die from?

Neuroscientists say the brain's auditory lexicon, a catalog of verbal language, is actually located in the front of the primary auditory cortex, not in back of it -- a finding that upends a century-long understanding of this area of the brain. The new understanding matters because it may impact recovery and rehabilitation following a brain injury such as a stroke.

This was texted to me from a former resident, while working at a small rural hospital, with the statement: "I can’t convince myself of anything here, but he’s a 63-year-old guy with prior stents and a good story for ACS." (Chest pain or discomfort) What do you think? Here was my response: "Suspicious for inferior posterior OMI. Get serial ECGs" He then sent a previous from 4 years prior: "This is totally normal, which confirms that the first EKG does indeed represent OMI" Then the patient's ches

BackgroundFor acute proximal intracranial artery occlusions, contact aspiration may be more effective than stent‐retriever for first‐line reperfusion therapy. Due to the lack of data regarding medium vessel occlusion thrombectomy, we evaluated outcomes according to first‐line technique in a large, multicenter registry.MethodsImaging, procedural, and clinical outcomes of patients with acute proximal medium vessel

Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and atrial fibrillation (AF) are increasing in prevalence globally and share common risk factors. Our aim was to characterise real-world evidence on direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) prescribing for people with AF and CKD, in terms of adherence, persistence and renal dose titration. Methods PubMed, EMBASE and CINAHL were searched from inception to June 2022.
