The pain was 10/10 in intensity radiating bilaterally to the shoulders and also to the left arm and neck. The below ECG was recorded. The ECG shows obvious STEMI(+) OMI due to probable proximal LAD occlusion.

This patient was witnessed by bystanders to collapse. They started CPR. EMS arrived and found him in Ventricular Fibrillation (VF). He was defibrillated into VT. He then underwent dual sequential defibrillation into asystole. After 1 mg of epinephrine they achieved ROSC. Total prehospital meds were epinephrine 1 mg x 3, amiodarone 300 mg and 100 mL of 8.4% sodium bicarbonate.

A stroke not only causes acute damage to the brain, but can also have long-term health implications for other organs -- such as the heart. Researchers have worked on the hypothesis that the high rate of comorbidities that develop after a stroke could have a common immunological cause. And they actually managed to find it: The origin of the dysfunctions in other parts of the body lies in the immunological memory of the blood-forming cells in bone marrow.

Nearly 40 million adults in the U.S. have sleep apnea, and more than 30 million of them use a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine while sleeping. However, the machines tend to be expensive, clunky and uncomfortable -- resulting in many users giving up on using them. High blood pressure is often linked with sleep apnea because the brain works harder to regulate blood flow and breathing during sleep.
