Join the Undoctored Revolution
Let’s take back control over personal health. Share this to expose healthcare for the corrupt enterprise it is. Imagine that you receive a letter in the mail stating “In order to retain your right to freedom of speech, you will be billed $10,000 per year every year for the rest of your life.” You would be—-understandably-—outraged. Freedom of speech in America is precious, something Americans have waged wars to defend, something we now view as a basic right, no financial price required to maintain it. It should be free and available to everyone regardless of religion, color, political leanings, or income. ...

Chest pain and a non-diagnostic ECG. No worries, right?
A middle-aged male complained of chest pain and called 911. 3 prehospital ECGs were recorded.Here is the time zero ECG:Just some non-diagnostic T-wave abnormalities T-wave inversion in V2 is a bit abnormal, and frequently seen in posterior MI, but not diagnostic.  There is tiny bit of ST depression in V3 and V4 which is nonspecific and could be normal. There is a large T-wave in lead II which is also nonspecific. Here is the repeat at t = 9 minutes:Lots of artifact, but no apparent changeHere is the t = 25 minute ECG:Again, no significant change except that the ST segments in V3 and V4, which ...

This ECG was shown to the doctor with no clinical information
Written by Pendell Meyers, with edits from Steve SmithI was charting at my computer on a busy overnight shift when a triage ECG was placed between my face and computer screen, asking for my signature. Here it is:What do you think?--Sinus rhythm.--There is a tiny amount of STE in the inferior leads, with lead III having possibly a large T-wave compared to its QRS complex.--Lead aVL clinches the diagnosis with a very small normal QRS complex followed by minimal ST depression and a proportionally massively inverted T-wave.--Lead I also shows reciprocal STD.There is obvious STD in V2-V4 which indicates posterior involvement.Th...

Chest pain, sinus tachycardia, and ST Elevation
I was reading through ECGs on the system when I saw this one:Sinus tachycardia, rate 120Computerized QTc = 380 msWhat do you think? I was immediately worried about a proximal LAD occlusion.  Although sinus tachycardia generally argues against ACS, a large anterior MI may result in such poor stroke volume that there is compensatory tachycardia and possibly impending cardiogenic shock. I looked to see if there was an ED cardiac ultrasound, and there was:Parasternal Long Axis:Poor image, but one can see that there is poor apical functionParasternal short axis:This shows poor contractility of the anterior wall.C...

Aortic Dissection Detection Risk Score
Acute aortic dissection may be present in only about one in ten thousand patients presenting to the emergency department. But missing an aortic dissection can be catastrophic. At the same time submitting all patients with suspected dissection to imaging studies may not be feasible in view of the cost and potential risks. Hence a good clinical bedside risk score may be useful, in addition to diligent clinical evaluation. Aortic Dissection Detection Risk Score (ADD Risk Score) was formulated by IRAD investigators using the International Registry of Acute aortic Dissection. Three groups of high risk features have been eval...

Dr. Nuance versus Crusaders of the Lost Art
By, SAURABH JHA MD   The two writers who got inside my head were polar opposites. Christopher Hitchens was an atheist, who mocked religion incessantly, and spared few sacred cows – he went after both Mother Teresa and Bill Clinton, though for patently opposite reasons. G.K. Chesterton, the sardonic, plump Englishman, went after heretics. Hitchens destroyed orthodoxy. Chesterton mocked radicals. Hitchens once quipped that “what can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.” Chesterton quipped that the rebel, the infinite skeptic, was in fact a decerebrate orthodox. If both were on Twitter th...

Orbiting ORBITA
By ANISH KOKA, MD I’m sitting amidst a number of cardiologists to go over the most recent trials presented at the interventional cardiology conference in Denver.  The cardiology fellow presenting goes quickly through the hors de oeuvres until finally getting to the main course – ORBITA. ORBITA sought to test the very foundations interventional cardiology was built on – the simple idea that opening a stenosed coronary artery was good for patients.  The trial was a double blind randomized control trial of patients with tightly stenosed arteries who either had a stent placed or had a sham procedure.  Before the resul...

A 50-something with h/o coronary bypass has chest pain and a ventricular paced rhythm
Conclusions: ACO in VPR is an uncommon condition. The MSC showed good Sens for diagnosis of ACO in the presence of VPR, especially among patients with high peak cTn, and Spec was excellent. These methods and results are consistent with studies that have used the MSC to diagnose ACO in LBBB.

It is not a STEMI; it is an opportunity to save myocardium!
I was teaching about subtle coronary occlusion at EKG conference to our residents a couple days ago.  About coronary occlusion that does not meet STEMI criteria and that many physicians would miss.They were asking me about whether, if they missed one of these, would they have missed a STEMI?I responded: " No, you would not have missed a STEMI, and you would not be blamed for anything,but you would have missed anopportunity to save the patient ' s heart. "Just as I was explaining this, a text message came through from a former resident, with this ECG and the question:" Diagnostic ECG? "What do you think?Notice the...

Prescribe exercise like you prescribe medicine
We have all seen and heard the story: a patient who is overweight and has heart problems (or arthritis, diabetes, low back pain or any number of other chronic conditions) is told by their doctor that they need to exercise. The patient agrees, “Yes, I really will try to start an exercise program.” Six months later, the patient is back in the doctor’s office, and the conversation goes something like this: “Well, I started going to the gym, but it really didn’t help.” OR “I started walking around my neighborhood, but the kids, work or any number of other life factors impeded the program.” OR “I did try to ex...

The Pharmaceuticalization of Americans: Blood Pressure
News headlines are filled with the new advice from the American Heart Association, the American College of Cardiology, and other health organizations: 50% of all Americans now have hypertension, given the new target blood pressure of 130/80 or lower, and more Americans therefore require treatment of their blood pressure. CNN reports, for instance: “One in three Americans had previously been diagnosed with the condition, but now 14% more Americans will be diagnosed with high blood pressure. The new guidelines will classify 103.3 million people as having high blood pressure, while the previous guidelines placed only 72...
