The patient whose initial ECG is shown in Figure-1 — is a middle-aged man who presented to the ED ( E mergency D epartment ) for new-onset CP ( C hest P ain ). He was hemodynamically stable at the time this tracing was done. The patient was still having CP at the time ECG #1 was obtained — although the severity of his CP was unclear ( ie, It is not known IF this patient’s CP was increasing — the same — or decreasing — at the time the ECG in Figure-1 was recorded ).
Templates are pre-designed forms or protocols that can be customized to meet the specific needs of a clinic or provider. They can improve the speed and accuracy of patient care and billing, leading to better diagnoses, more effective treatment plans, and ultimately better patient health outcomes. It’s no secret that healthcare continues to evolve.
= Case Presentation by K EN G RAUER, MD ( 5/5 /2023 ): — Edits by Drs. Meyers & Smith. = Dr. Smith was reading ECGs — and he sent myself and Dr. Meyers the tracing shown in Figure-1. At the time we did not yet know the history. What do YOU think? Figure-1: The initial ECG in today's case. No history yet. Our Initial Thoughts on the ECG in Figure-1: Dr.

AI is transforming clinical trials—accelerating drug discovery, optimizing patient recruitment, and improving data analysis. But its impact goes far beyond research. As AI-driven innovation reshapes the clinical trial process, it’s also influencing broader healthcare trends, from personalized medicine to patient outcomes. Join this new webinar featuring Simran Kaur for an insightful discussion on what all of this means for the future of healthcare!
Importance The healthcare sector is essential to human health and well-being, yet its significant carbon footprint contributes to climate change-related threats to health. Objective To review systematically published studies on environmental impacts, including carbon dioxide equivalent (CO 2 e) emissions, of contemporary cardiovascular healthcare of all types, from prevention through to treatment.
A closer look at how cardiovascular care is changing across the country. Throughout my career, I’ve witnessed a lot of changes in healthcare. One constant over my thirty years of experience is that things do not stay the same. I’ve worked with hospitals, provider groups and payers – trying to help drive the right type of access, care, and value across the healthcare continuum.
Case written by Brandon Friedman M.D., edits by Meyers A woman in her 60s with a history of chronic atrial fibrillation on Eliquis, ESRD on hemodialysis, type-II diabetes mellitus, prior CVA, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia presented to the emergency department with multiple complaints after missing dialysis. She described a feeling of general unwellness, diarrhea, right-sided abdominal pain, bilateral leg pain, bilateral leg swelling, and diffuse itching.

Objective The training of interventional cardiologists (ICs), non-interventional cardiologists (NICs) and cardiac surgeons (CSs) differs, and this may be reflected in their interpretation of invasive coronary angiography (ICA) and management plan. Availability of systematic coronary physiology might result in more homogeneous interpretation and management strategy compared with ICA alone.

A 50-something with no previous cardiac history and no risk factors presented to the ED with acute chest pain (pressure) that radiated to the left arm. An ECG was immediately recorded: Computer read: Normal ECG What do you think? There is ST depression in V1-V3. We showed that this is diagnostic of OMI (of the posterior wall). Moreover, there is ST elevation in V6 (which is getting close to the location of posterior lead V7).

Aims Guidelines for suspected cardiac chest pain have used historical risk stratification tools, advocating invasive coronary angiography (ICA) first-line in those at highest risk. We aimed to determine whether different strategies to manage suspected stable angina affected medium-term cardiovascular event rates and patient-reported quality of life (QoL) measures.
Background Despite numerous echocardiographic screening studies of children in high incidence acute rheumatic fever (ARF)/rheumatic heart disease (RHD) communities, little is known about the prevalence of RHD in adults in these populations. We sought to determine the prevalence of RHD in an urban area of South Auckland, New Zealand, where previous studies had shown the prevalence of RHD in children to be around 2%.
Background Structural changes caused by spinal curvature may impact the organs within the thoracic cage, including the heart. Cardiac abnormalities in patients with idiopathic scoliosis are often studied post-corrective surgery or secondary to diseases. To investigate cardiac structure, function and outcomes in participants with scoliosis, phenotype and imaging data of the UK Biobank (UKB) adult population cohort were analysed.
Objective Patients with stress-related disorders and anxiety are at increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease. However, the risk of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is scarcely investigated. We aimed to establish whether long-term stress (post-traumatic stress disorder, adjustment disorder) or anxiety is associated with OHCA in the general population.
