Advantages of Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH)
This is a 15-year-old post about LVH, written in 2008. Few of my colleagues, now agree with this, but still hesitate to oblige in  the open, suggesting it is too good to be true! Re-posting it for your own assessment. Surprised, why cardiology community didn’t consider this observation worthy to pursue. Advantages of Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) Left ventricular hypertrophy is one of the most common clinical cardiac entity.It is recognised either by ECG or echocardiography.LVH has a unique place in cardiology as it can imply a  grossly pathological state or  a marker of healthy heart as in physiologica...

Cuffless Blood Pressure Monitoring – Not for the Faint-of-Heart (Pun Intended)
This article will summarize these challenges and also provide optimism for the refreshingly near future. Namely, while the progress towards FDA-cleared cuffless BP monitoring may feel protracted, significant technological advances, regulatory modernization, and clinical use case validation are rapidly advancing and aligning.  Key Challenges Confronting OTC Cuffless Blood Pressure Monitoring Scientific Risks At the most fundamental level, the jury’s still out on whether sufficiently accurate noninvasive, cuffless, calibration-free blood pressure monitoring is physically realizable at all. Namely, “Do the laws of nature...

A 50-something with acute chest pain, a computer " Normal " ECG, and a HEART score of 3 (low risk)
A 50-something with no previous cardiac history and no risk factors presented to the ED with acute chest pain (pressure) that radiated to the left arm.  An ECG was immediately recorded:Computer read: Normal ECGWhat do you think?There is ST depression in V1-V3.  We showed that this isdiagnostic of OMI (of the posterior wall). Moreover, there is ST elevation in V6 (which is getting close to the location of posterior lead V7).  Thre is also absence of S-wave in V6, which is not entirely abnormal, but is suggestive of OMI (when this finding is in V2 or V3 in the setting of STE in V2 or V3, we call...

Fueling Innovation in Healthcare by Scaling Access to Protected Data
The following is a guest article by Dr. Suraj Kapa, Chief Medical Officer at TripleBlind Data is arguably the most critical driver of innovation in healthcare today. When you think about it, everything in healthcare hinges on having access to the right data: From developing new drugs and medical devices to allocating scarce resources amidst supply chain issues. Getting your hands on the data necessary to make breakthroughs in healthcare is a significant challenge given its sensitive nature. Essentially, we need a way to have our cake (access raw health data to drive life-saving advances in medical care) and eat it too (mai...

Binary medicine harms our gender-expansive patients
The first time I saw a preceptor use the American College of Cardiology’s atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (mercifully, ASCVD) risk calculator, I was hooked. As a first-year medical student, data nerd, and aspiring primary care provider, I love a good diagnostic tool. Watching as he entered our patient’s pertinent medical history, I ran down the list Read more… Binary medicine harms our gender-expansive patients originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

Aiming for Health Equity
The following is a guest article by Hakim Yadi, PhD OBE, Co-Founder and CEO at Closed Loop Medicine Healthcare has historically taken a ‘one size fits all’ approach, which misses the ability to treat all patients as effectively and equitably as possible. Consequently, personalized medicine where treatments are better tailored to a patient has become an aspiration of the modern healthcare system. However, when we look at existing medicines used today, drug therapy is rarely dose optimized for the individual, with most therapies and medical devices approved based on overall safety and efficacy investigated in large-scale...

Bainbridge Reflex
Bainbridge Reflex was described over a century back, in 1918 as the influence of venous filling on the heart rate [1]. It was noted as an increase in heart rate in response to a rise in central venous pressure. Mechanoreceptors for the Bainbridge reflex are located at the junction of the right atrium and the caval veins and at the junction of pulmonary veins and the left atrium [2]. It is also known as Bainbridge effect and sometimes called the atrial reflex. Efferent arm of the reflex could involve both parasympathetic withdrawal and sympathetic enhancement. Axial stretch has been shown to increase spontaneous pacemaker ...

Localisation of Ventricular Tachycardia by Surface ECG
Surface ECG can be used to identify the site of origin of ventricular tachycardia. QRS morphologic patterns and vectors are helpful in discerning the activation pattern of the myocardium. Chest wall deformity as well as metabolic and drug effects can cause limitations in analysis sometimes [1]. Identification of site of origin of VT is useful while planning catheter ablation. It is also useful in correlating with the clinical situation as in post myocardial infarction scar related VT. Another instance is for correlation with findings on imaging modalities like echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging [2]. F...

How the NFL could have boosted CPR awareness
January 2nd was a rough day for the sports world. People were captivated by the on-field “death” of a player. Players, coaches, fans, and staff were stunned by seeing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in real-time, maybe even for the first time. Thankfully the NFL had excellently trained teams on the sidelines prepared for these emergencies. Chest Read more… How the NFL could have boosted CPR awareness originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

Learning new lessons from a stressful “ ST segment ”
This is the Incidental ECG of an apparently healthy 50-year-old businessman, recorded while  applying for health insurance How will you describe this ECG? Let me magnify it for you    Why this big fuss about this ECG?  Such ECGs are so common. Looking at the ST segment, we are supposed to think of significant CAD,, LVH, Aortic stenosis or variants of cardiomyopathy, and sometimes electrolytic shifts. The fact that it is recorded at rest, and the patient is absolutely asymptomatic, it is very unlikely there is ongoing ischemia.It could be a myocardial origin or an unk...

50 year old with acute chest pain, with ‘normal’ ECG and falling troponin
Written by Jesse McLaren, with comments from SmithA 50-year old patient on the medical wards developed acute chest pain, with an ECG labeled (see computer interpretation at the top) and confirmed as normal. What do you think? There ’s normal sinus rhythm, normal conduction, normal axis, normal R wave progression, and normal voltages. Lead aVL jumps out as abnormal because there is a discordant T wave inversion and mild ST depression. This is reciprocal to inferior mild ST elevation and hyperacute T waves (wide based, bulky, and symmetric, and in III taller than the QRS complex), and adjacent to ST depression in...
