The ECG in Figure-1 was obtained from a 50-year old man — who presented to the ED ( E mergency D epartment ) with new-onset CP ( C hest P ain ). QUESTIONS: There are at least 3 principal findings on this ECG — some of which deal with a possible “culprit” artery and / or the location of whatever is going on. How many of these findings can YOU identify?

Written by Jesse McLaren, with comments from Smith A 50-year old patient on the medical wards developed acute chest pain, with an ECG labeled (see computer interpretation at the top) and confirmed as normal. What do you think? There’s normal sinus rhythm, normal conduction, normal axis, normal R wave progression, and normal voltages. Lead aVL jumps out as abnormal because there is a discordant T wave inversion and mild ST depression.

To keep pace with the rising number of patients, many cardiology labs are looking to replace manual processes with automation. Reduced staffing, budget constraints, and laboratory consolidation increase the need for automation, and fortunately, the streamlining of everyday activities improves operational efficiencies, reduces errors, and strengthens patient care.

Researchers have found that a promising stroke therapy, known as antisense oligonucleotides, is preferentially taken up from the blood into areas of stroke damage in the brain when the molecules are linked to a specific kind of lipid. This therapy can be given relatively late after a stroke occurs, and is hoped to lead to reduced stroke-related disabilities.

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common type of heart disease and the leading cause of death globally: one in four people lose their lives to CAD annually. Coronary arteries provide the heart with the oxygen-rich blood that it needs to function, carrying away oxygen-depleted blood. In a patient with CAD, atheromatous plaques build inside the coronary arteries, reducing the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle by narrowing or blocking the arteries.
