It has some inferior ST elevation with some reciprocal ST depression and inverted T in aVL. This usually indicates inferior OMI. My answer: "Fake: pretty certain, but not 100% certain.

How would you interpret this tracing? Figure-1: The initial ECG in today's case. MY Initial Thoughts: In my experience — all-too-many emergency providers fail to appreciate the potential contribution that a brief ( 1-to-2 line ) history may convey when interpreting arrhythmias.

Why does QRS morphology in the long lead II rhythm strip change every-other-beat? Figure-1: The initial ECG in today's case. MY Thoughts on the ECG in Figure-1: This is a challenging ECG to interpret because of: i ) the changing QRS morphology; and , ii ) the difficulty in seeing all of the P waves.

There is a phrase in aviation: “The most useless part of the runway is the runway that is behind you” A runway might be a mile long, but if you start your takeoff roll at the halfway mark, it doesn’t really matter that the runway is a mile long. You now only have half a mile left to work with. The same principle applies to assessing and managing your risk of heart disease.

Background Acute dyspnoea is common in acute care settings. However, identifying the origin of dyspnoea in the emergency department (ED) is often challenging. We aimed to investigate whether our artificial intelligence (AI)-powered ECG analysis reliably distinguishes between the causes of dyspnoea and evaluate its potential as a clinical triage tool for comparing conventional heart failure diagnostic processes using natriuretic peptides.

Life is short. No matter what we do, the probability of living beyond 95 years of age is small. Living beyond 100 years of age is even smaller. The average lifespan in most developed countries is between 77 and 79 years of age. But we also know that setting the conditions right early in life can add over a decade to your life. As a percentage of your life, that is a lot.
