Hemodynamics of sudden “ Toilet deaths ” following STEMI !
The age old statistics , 30 % of deaths following STEMI happen even before patients reach the hospital may still be true. But ,there is an untold story that happen regularly in the rehabilitation phase .Its ironical many apparently stabilised STEMI patients still lose their life just before they get discharged or within 30 days .More often than not this happens in the toilet when they strain for defecation. At least a dozen deaths I have witnessed in the last few years. Of course we have resuscitated many near deaths as well.
What exactly happens to these ill-fated patients inside the toilet ?
Straining is often an ...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, September 18th 2017
In this study, researchers put some numbers to the correlation, and improve on previous attempts to rule out wealth and other effects as significant contributing causes.
A study finds that a Chinese policy is unintentionally causing people in northern China to live 3.1 years less than people in the south, due to air pollution concentrations that are 46 percent higher. These findings imply that every additional 10 micrograms per cubic meter of particulate matter pollution reduces life expectancy by 0.6 years. The elevated mortality is entirely due to an increase in cardiorespiratory deaths, indicating that air poll...

Bifurcation snakes : Which side its going to sting ?
If human coronary artery is comparable to live wire , attempting bifurcation (BFL) stenting is akin to tame a live snake .True BFL (with Medina 1, 1, 1) being the most complex of all .The fact is ,we have atleast a dozen strategies for BFL with varying loads of metal abutting the ostia ,side branch and carina.This would essentially Imply we are still struggling with these lesions .
While current science tends to vouch PCI* for most BFLs . . . wisdom might whisper CABG in atleast some of us !
Who should do complex PCI ?
Obviously, not every interventional cardiologist can. Confidence is one thing , but , f...

Why Racism Is The Antithesis Of Self Development
I spent a day or so in the ER this past weekend.
The details aren’t important other than to say chest pain and shortness of breath don’t necessarily mean you are about to become an ex-Life Coach and shuffle off this mortal coil.
During the time I spent there I probably came into direct contact with about 50 members of staff.
That’s a lot in such a short period of time until you realize I had 3 lots of blood taken, 2 chest x-rays, 2 nuclear medicine scans, a stress test and 2 CT scans over about a 24-hour period.
I don’t like watching TV lying in bed and my phone service was intermittent at best so between the batt...

An unusual clinical encounter : Gastric “ Bradycardia ” unmasked by Transthoracic Echo !
A 50-year-old man was referred for dizziness, bradycardia and dysphagia .He was very clear in describing his symptoms and landed up in Gastro- enterology OPD , from there was referred to my clinic for cardiac work up . His ECG showed a sinus bradycardia HR of 48 /mt.
Echocardiogram revealed a structurally normal heart as we expected , but was surprised to spot suspicious shadow in para-sternal long axis view , beneath left atrium.
A well demarcated large mass compressing left atrium. Trans Thoracic Echocardiography may not be looking at the heart alone ,(Its technically Thoracic Ultrasound though we may ref...

Patients in the Himalayas Grateful for Care
BY RACHEL EDWARDS, MD
I traveled to India in August 2014 with Himalayan Health Exchange (HHE), which organizes groups of attending physicians, residents, medical students, and nurses from around the world to travel to one of the most remote parts of the world, deep in the Himalayan Mountains. Our route took us to the Pangi Valley of Northern India, where the road we traveled has only existed for a decade and is impassable during the winter months when the road is covered in snow. The people who live there are resilient and hardened by their environment of mountainous terrain and harsh climate.
Our group, es...

Eye-Opening Medical Missions in India and China
By Zubair Chao, MD
I had an opportunity to visit India as part of George Washington University’s International Emergency Medicine & Global Public Health Fellowship Program in April 2013. I gave lectures on endocrinology and HEENT as teaching faculty. I had already planned to go to China with my residency program and ultrasound fellowship directors, Drs. Cook and Hunt, respectively, and it was an easy decision for me to combine the trips for a firsthand view of emergency medical services in the world’s two most populated countries.
Emergency medicine is new in India, and it is not widely accepted as a reco...
