A 40 something otherwise healthy man presented with substernal chest pain. It had occurred once 3 days prior and resolved without any medical visit. He had a triage ECG at time zero: Here is the computer interpretation (Normal) This was the Veritas algorithm. What do you think? This ECG is DIAGNOSTIC of acute LAD Occlusion. The T-waves are hyperacute, but most important, the minimal ST Elevation is accompanied by Terminal QRS Distortion , or at least nearly so.

This two-lead rhythm strip shows a normal sinus rhythm at about 63 bpm. The P waves are regular. After the sixth P-QRS, there is a non-conducted P wave. The normal rhythm then resumes. The two most common reasons for a non-conducted P wave in the midst of a normal sinus rhythm are 1) non-conducted PAC, and 2) Wenckebach conduction. The first is easy to rule out.
Impact of invasive aortic pulse pressure on coronary microvascular endothelial-independent dysfunction and on mortality in non-obstructive coronary artery disease

FEBRUARY 1, 2022
Background Pulse pressure (PP), a raw index of arterial stiffness, is inversely related to coronary microvascular function, even among patients with non-obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD), as per non-invasive studies. We aimed to determine whether invasive aortic PP is associated with coronary microvascular endothelial dysfunction (CMED) and/or coronary microvascular endothelial independent dysfunction (CMEID) in patients with non-obstructed CAD.

Reliability and agreement of point-of-care carotid artery examinations by experts using hand-held ultrasound devices in patients with ischaemic stroke or transitory ischaemic attack
Open Heart
FEBRUARY 1, 2022
Objectives To investigate the reliability and agreement of hand-held ultrasound devices (HUDs) compared with conventional duplex ultrasound (HIGH) in examination for carotid stenosis in patients with suspected transitory ischaemic attack (TIA) or ischaemic stroke. Methods Cardiologists, experienced in carotid ultrasound, examined patients admitted to a community hospital with suspected stroke or TIA.
Association of coronary angiographic lesions and mortality in patients over 80 years with NSTEMI
Open Heart
JANUARY 31, 2022
Objective Coronary angiography (CA) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is of great importance during non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) management. Coronary artery lesions and their association to mortality in elderly patients with NSTEMI was investigated. Methods Patients >80 years of age who underwent CA at index NSTEMI during 2011–2014 were included.
