Get Active, Stay Safe: Regular exercise is a cornerstone of heart health. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week or 75 minutes of vigorous activity. However, during the summer, adjust your exercise routine to avoid the hottest part of the day. Know Your Limits: Listen to your body!

Pads were placed with ultrasound guidance, so they were in the correct position. The fact that the 50yo man in today's case has known coronary disease ( including exercise-induced angina over the previous 3 months ) — means that even before looking at his initial ECG — statistical odds that his regular WCT rhythm will be VT are at least 90%.

Perhaps the perception of heart disease being related to our lifestyle (smoking, drinking, eating, level of exercise etc) blocks us in paying attention. I have not found a sound reason for this lack of attention for heart diseases. Where cancer is much more perceived as something which happens to us.

This is an ultrasound (a bit like the type that we use on pregnant women to look at the baby). An ultrasound will allow you to visualise the heart, measure the sizes of the chambers, assess the heart valves and work out how well the heart functions as a pump. We then exercise the patient, give the dye again and take another image.

He first noticed it while exercising. On intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), the mid RCA plaque was described as "cratered, inflamed, and bulky," and the OM plaque was described as "bulky with evidence of inflammation and probably ulceration." He described the symptom as chest burning with occasional radiation into his throat and jaw.

Echocardiography – We can use ultrasound to visualize the heart and look at how well it pumps. Hence to my mind a really good way of assessing the heart as a pump is a test called an exercise stress echo. This is termed as diastolic dysfunction. So what tests tell us about the heart as a pump?

Her bedside cardiac ultrasound was normal We decided to cardiovert her since the time of onset was very recent. Vagally-mediated AFib is more likely to occur at night or after meals — and less likely to occur with exercise. But when you see this, you should suspect that the AV node is not well. I signed her out to one of my partners.

Dr. Nossen performed a bedside ultrasound which was interpreted as normal. Even after exercising in the ED ( which successfully raised heart rate enough for return of sinus rhythm ) — the patient's heart rate in ECG #2 is still a bit under 50/minute. Whether this is the result of a vasovagal reaction to the patient's abdominal pain? —
