Objective Postprocedural ischaemic and bleeding risks after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) remain a major concern. Nevertheless, no reliable risk models incorporating both possibilities are currently available. We aimed to assess the accuracy of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)-derived models and the performance of a recalibrated model that included variables more applicable to TAVR.

The open-data movement seeks to liberate the massive amount of data generated in running clinical trials from the grasp of the academic medical-pharmaceutical industrial complex that mostly runs the most important trials responsible for bringing novel therapeutics to market.

For many women, undergoing any procedure can leave fear and uncertainty. Especially when it comes to a procedure that your patients may not know much about it. Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) certainly fits the bill. UFE is a minimally invasive surgery that targets fibroids in the uterus, but it still has relatively low adoption among providers, and even fewer patients know about this operation and how it can improve quality of life.

A 60 year old with chest pain presented to the ED. Here is his first ECG: What do you think? It looks bizarre, doesn't it? There are lots of ST-T abnormalities, but they just don't look recognizable. Whenever you see a bizarre ECG, look at leads I, II, and III. See if one of them does NOT look bizarre. In this case, lead I does not look bizarre, but all other leads do.

I was reading ECGs on the system and came across this one. There is minimal STE in II, III, with an inverted T-wave in aVL. There is a very flat ST segment in V2, with 0.5 mm of STD, highly suspicious for posterior OMI. We showed in this paper that ANY amount of STD maximal in V1-V4 (especially in V2) in a patient with chest symptoms is posterior OMI until proven otherwise I knew that if this is a patient with chest discomfort, that it is an infero-posterior OMI.
