What is a myocardial bridge? Cardiology Basics
Normally the coronary arteries are located outside the myocardium. Occasionally a segment of the coronary artery passes through the myocardium. This causes a narrowing of that region in systole and is known as myocardial bridging. Myocardial bridging can be recognized as narrowing of a region of the coronary artery in systole which normalizes in diastole. Usually myocardial bridges do not cause myocardial ischemia as normally the blood flow into the myocardium occur mostly during diastole. Still myocardial bridges can rarely cause  myocardial ischemia and cause chest pain. Rarely this may need recurrent hospital admi...

A man in his 30s with cardiac arrest and STE on the post-ROSC ECG
Conclusions: outpatients with witnessed cardiac arrest and primary PEA carry a high probability of Massive Pulmonary Embolism________________Case Continued:" Initial ROSC EKG showed what appeared to be in atrial fibrillation with inferior ST elevations, depressions in aVL, concerning for STEMI. "He had multiple cardiac arrests with ROSC regained each time. " Endotracheal tube re-intubation was confirmed multiple times, bilateral breath sounds, yet O2 saturation remained in the 50s and 60s. I was able to visualize the ETT on initial intubation pass through the cords however given his continued hypoxemia, I felt it...

Athlete ’s heart – Cardiology Basics
Athlete’s heart – Cardiology Basics Athlete’s heart is thickening of the heart muscle due to constant training in response to increased circulatory demand. Athlete’s heart is not dangerous, it is a physiological adaptation of the heart to training and increased load. It is associated with a slow heart rate, called athlete’s bradycardia. The slower resting heart rate is a protective mechanism to prevent undue rise with exercise as normally heart rate increases with intensity of exercise. There is an increase in the size of the chambers of the heart and increased efficacy of pumping to meet the high demand duri...

What is an echocardiogram? Cardiology Basics
Echocardiogram is ultrasound imaging of the heart. Ultrasound is high frequency sound wave which is not audible to the human ear. The machine sends out ultrasound beams intermittently to the heart and listens for the echo. For example, if duration of a pulse of ultrasound is about 1 microsecond, the next 999 microseconds are spent for receiving echoes from the body structures. This goes on in a cyclical fashion. Computer synthesised images are then produced from the echoes received from various parts of the heart. It is similar to the location of aeroplanes in the sky by a radar system. The ultrasound signals ar...

Intravenous acetazolamide for acute decompensated heart failure – ADVOR Study
Intravenous acetazolamide for acute decompensated heart failure – ADVOR Study Acetazolamide in Decompensated Heart Failure With Volume OveRload (ADVOR) study assessed whether intravenous acetazolamide can improve the efficacy of loop diuretics in acute decompensated heart failure with volume overload. Acetazolamide is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor that reduces proximal tubular sodium reabsorption. It was a multicenter, double blind randomized, placebo controlled trial. Edema, pleural effusion and ascites were the important features of volume overload [1]. Ascites was confirmed by abdominal ultrasound and pleural eff...

A man in his 50s with acute chest pain without STEMI criteria. Trop negative. Cath lab cancelled. But how about the ECG and echo?
Case submitted by Matt Tanzi MD, written by Pendell MeyersA man in his early 50s presented with substernal chest pain and that started 1 hour prior to arrival. There was some radiation to the left jaw and diaphoresis. He had ongoing pain on arrival.Initial triage ECG:What do you think?I sent this to Dr. Smith who immediately replied that it is diagnostic of OMI, but difficult to tell whether it is1) anterolateral with de Winter morphology, or instead2) A combination of Aslanger ' s pattern (inferior OMI with single lead STE in III and reciprocal STD in I, aVL, plus widespread STD of subendocardial ischemia) with ...

Chest pain, peak troponin 100,000 ng/L and this ECG on discharge: what ’s the diagnosis?
Written by Jesse McLaren, with edits by Smith Usually cases are presented in chronological order the way they appear in real life. But this case will be represented in reverse chronological order. At each step we ’ll ask the question, “what’s the diagnosis?” using the STEMI paradigm (was this STEMI or NSTEMI?) and OMI paradigm (was this Occlusion MI or Non-Occlusion MI?).  Discharge A 60 year old without prior cardiac history was admitted with chest pain, had a peak troponin of 100,000 ng/L (normal<16 in female and<26 in males), and was discharged with the following ECG (#4). What ’s the...

Weekly Overseas Health IT Links –27th August 2022.
In this study, researchers gathered a diverse group of participants; 43 percent were Black, and 68 percent were women. They also considered factors such as age and insurance status when drawing conclusions.The study occurred through a clinical trial, where all participants were randomly assigned to have their next visit occur through either phone or video-based platforms. The central unit of measurement was visit satisfaction rate, reported on a ten-point scale. Researchers noted noninferiority data based on whether patient satisfaction between the telehealth methods exceeded a -15 percent margin.-----https://www.theverge....

A man in his 60s with dizziness, nausea, chest pain, and LBBB
Submitted and written by Parker Hambright MD, peer reviewed by Meyers, McLaren, Grauer, SmithA man in his late 60s called EMS for acute dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and chest pain shortly after beginning his morning exercise. The symptoms lasted for only about 15 minutes and then resolved spontaneously. He was brought to the ED and evaluated in less than one hour from onset of symptoms. His history included known CAD, HTN, HLD, prior MI with LAD stent, AAA repair, and reported dizziness/vertigo.Here are his EMS and ED triage ECGs (unclear whether symptoms still present or resolved at time of these ECGs, but it seems that s...

Cardiac Holography : Lets get ready to welcome, in our cath lab soon !
Medical science has evolved over 2000 years and moved far away, from the spiritual cure times at the temple of health at Kos islands to the Imaginations of Davicini. We are now in an era, where we can, not-only take stunning live photographs of individual organs but also go inside, assisted by  X RAYs, Ultrasound, CT  MRI, and Optical fiber. Now, a new kid is entering ie Holography. (We may expect haptics very soon).   How about a cardiologist operating with a virtual  3D beating heart hanging in front of him? Yes, it is possible in a scientific fiction movie . No. it’s real. True view,...

Bifurcation PCI : Physics & Philosophy of DK crush technique
Bifurcation PCI is a modern-day Cardiologist’s fascinating professional adventure within coronary arteries. Of course, the Intention is to do good for the patient. Bifurcation lesions (BFL) are a special subset of lesions, that looks challenging, more because of the potential biological aftermath following the delicate construction of a grade separator at a critical site. Mind you, it’s done within a live flowing artery and subsequently needs lifelong maintenance. Strategies for BFL Strictly committed* single stent strategy (Irrespective of what may come, LCX or LAD  pinching let me tak...
