The ECG and long lead II rhythm strip in Figure-1 — was obtained from a COVID positive patient with persistent tachycardia not responding to Diltiazem. How would YOU interpret this tracing? How to manage the patient? Figure-1: The initial ECG — obtained from a patient with persistent tachycardia. ( To improve visualization — I've digitized the original ECG using PMcardio ).

We are happy to announce that our "OMI Toolbox" application has just released and ready for your use. As myocardial infarction (MI) and many other diagnoses (for example left ventricular hypertrophy, prior MI etc.) can cause ST-segment elevation (STE) on electrocardiogram (ECG), the distinction between them may be hard and complicated. Furthermore, some ECGs may not meet the STEMI criteria but may still be diagnostic for acute coronary occlusion (ACO).

It's challenging to exaggerate how crucial the heart is to good health. The heart drives the circulatory system, ensuring that all the body's organs and tissues receive the oxygen they require. This is done by circulating blood throughout the body. Unfortunately, heart disease ranks among the world's major causes of illness and demise. There is growing awareness of the risks of inadequate sleep for heart health, even though it is already well established that variables, including a poor diet, li

I was reading EKGs on the system and came across this one: What do you think? This is diagnostic of hyperkalemia. HyperK can result in all sorts of pseudoSTEMI or pseudoOMI patterns, including ST elevation, ST depression, and large T-waves. These T-waves are tall but have a narrow base and a corresponding flat ST segment (see lead V4). Also, there are no definite P-waves and this is another result of hyperkalemia.

Background As only a small proportion of patients with chest pain suffers from myocardial infarction (MI), safe rule-out of MI is of immense importance. Recently an ultrasensitive microphone performing diastolic heart sound analysis (CADScorSystem) for rule-out of coronary artery disease (CAD) has emerged. In this explorational study, we aimed to evaluate the feasibility of the CADScorSystem for diagnosis of MI in the setting of a large emergency department.
