Dr. Google: The top 10 health searches in 2017
Follow me on Twitter @RobShmerling
Ever wonder what other people are wondering about? I know I do.
So, here are the top 10 health searches in Google for 2017. And just so you don’t have to look each one up, I’ve provided a brief answer. You’re welcome.
1. What causes hiccups?
I was surprised this one made it to the top 10 list of health searches. Maybe this search is common because hiccups are as mysterious as they are universal. I’ve written about hiccups before, but let’s just say the cause in any individual person is rarely known or knowable. Then again, the reason hiccups stop is also unknown.
Some triggers...

Does Donald Trump Have Heart Disease?
By SAURABH JHA
According to the WHO definition of health, which is “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity,” several million Americans became unhealthy on Tuesday November 8th, 2016 as Florida folded to Trump. As Hillary’s prospects became bleaker many more millions, particularly those on Twitter, lost their health. The WHO sets a high bar for health. It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a person on social media to be in “complete mental and social well-being.”
Whilst WHO has set a high bar for health, moder...

Cath lab tips : Post dilatation is an unique “ Art ” . . . can ’ t learn it from textbooks or workshops !
In the modern era of cardiology, PCI has become the single therapeutic modality that determines the survival of both cardiologists and possibly their patients! The procedure is all about launching a metal coil inside the coronary artery of a live beating heart.
Millions of diseased and (not much) diseased coronary arteries are serviced (either re/deconstructed ) world-wide on a day-to-day basis.The benefits of the modality is directly related to the wisdom of treating cardiologist and patient’s luck than the original severity of the disease. However, with greatly improved coronary metallurgy , well assist...

An Open Letter to Dr. John Warner, President of the American Heart Association, on surviving a heart attack
Headlines today announce that the new President of the American Heart Association (AHA), cardiologist Dr. John Warner, has suffered a heart attack, aborted by an emergency stent placement. Typical of the ridiculous attitudes that prevail at the industry-friendly AHA, they Tweeted:
“Sending all our love and support to @American_Heart president Dr. Warner as he recovers from a mild heart attack. Heart disease can strike anyone, at any time. That’s why we keep fighting.”
If you ignore the nonsense that AHA policy dictates, you can absolutely gain control over cardiovascular risk. But you will NOT find the answer...

AF with slow ventricular rate
Atrial fibrillation (AF) with slow ventricular rate
Fine fibrillary waves are seen throughout the baseline, indicating fine atrial fibrillation. When the fibrillary waves are more than 1 mm in amplitude, they can be considered as coarse atrial fibrillation. Coarse atrial fibrillation usually indicates larger re-entrant circuits and hence larger atria. Coarse atrial fibrillation is classically seen in mitral stenosis with large left atrium.
In this case with fine atrial fibrillary waves, the ventricular rate is not high as in usual atrial fibrillation, in which ventricular rates are over 120/minute. The QRS complexes are na...

The Future of Predicting Heart Disease May Be In Your Genes
Three cases first:
A young woman I met recently (outside the hospital) told me her Dad died suddenly a couple of years ago. He was fine, then he was stone cold dead. The wife went outside for a minute and came back to find her husband dead in the chair. There were no warnings. No chest pains, no breathing problems, and no real diseases, except well-controlled high blood pressure.
A middle-aged man came to see me in the office because his brother died suddenly while jogging. The patient wanted to know his risk of heart disease and what he could do to prevent premature death. Both my patient and his dead brother were in dece...

How useful is a cardiac calcium CT scan?
Being a radiologist, I rarely speak to patients, but I was asked to counsel Mrs. Patel (not her real name), who was worried about the risks of radiation from cardiac calcium CT scan. Because of her risk factors for atherosclerosis, her cardiologist wanted her to take statins for primary prevention, but she was reluctant to start statins. They eventually reached a truce. If she had even a speck of calcium in her coronary arteries, she would take statins. If her calcium score was zero, she wouldn’t. This type of shared decision making is the most frequent reason why cardiologists order calcium scans at my institution.
A ca...

Who Won When the ACA Failed?
By ANISH KOKA, MD
You may have heard that repealing and replacing Obamacare recently failed. The analysis of what went wrong comes from many corners. Andy Slavitt, former insurance executive and most recent director of CMS, writes that the ‘failure of Trumpcare can be seen as a rejection of policies that Americans judged would move the country backward.’ Apparently, the theory goes, moderate republicans, especially in states that expanded heavily and rely on Obamacare Medicaid expansion, were skittish of a repeal and replace plan that endangered the healthcare of millions of constituents. The conservative Davi...
