Nanomagnet Patch Measures Muscle Movements
Researchers at UCLA have developed a wearable patch that can measure muscle movements in underlying tissues. The patch contains nanomagnets, and movements in underlying muscles can deform the resulting magnetic fields, creating an electric current. T...

Fight Aging! Newsletter, July 17th 2023
In conclusion, the longevity-associated genotype of FLT1 may confer increased lifespan by protecting against mortality risk posed by hypertension. We suggest that FLT1 expression in individuals with longevity genotype boosts vascular endothelial resilience mechanisms to counteract hypertension-related stress in vital organs and tissues.

Reviewing Efforts to Use Cells and Scaffolds to Regenerate the Heart
The heart is one of the least regenerative tissues in the body. Damage resulting from loss of blood flow during a heart attack leads to scarring and loss of function, rather than any meaningful degree of regeneration. While preventing the atherosclerosis that causes occlusion of blood vessels is the most desirable goal, finding ways to repair a damaged heart is also a high priority for the research community. Many groups have worked towards regenerative therapies based on delivery of cells and scaffolding material, even layers of artificial tissue made by combining the two, but progress has been frustratingly slow. ...

I was reading ECGs on the system when I came across this one, called " normal " by the conventional computer algorithm
I come in early for every shift to read the ECGs on the system that have not yet been " confirmed " .  I came across this one:The computer calls is: " SINUS RHYTHM. NORMAL ECG "What do you think? Be VERY careful when the computer calls the ECG " Normal " .  I saw the inferior ST depression (which is reciprocal to subtle STE in aVL) and the subtle ST depression in precordial leads and thought:" If this patient came in with chest pain, then it is an acute OMI. "So I looked on the computer.  Turns out that it was a 50-something patient with no previous cardiac history who had called 911 for chest pain...

Cardiology Image quiz : A diagnosis no one wants to make !
  What is the lesion? It looks like an  Intracardiac tumor, a myxoma ? a variant of HCM ?  Is it a hydatid cyst, ?  No it’s not. I can give one clue. This is a man-made condition. Oh ok, did this happen inside the cath lab ? Yes, you got it, right. But need a diagnosis. Can you give me one more clue? This patient was undergoing PCI for chronic total occlusion. So, it must be a complication. Then I need to know the list of complications during CTO PCI. Yes, but you may not find this one in the conventional list. Let me come out with the answer. ...

What happens to FFR after stenting ?
A simple question with mammoth repercussions in the revascularization world. How was the question ? Was it difficult ? Don’t worry, it wouldn’t be the same even for elite cardiology experts worldwide. It is not a Himalayan task, though, to find an answer. All it requires is a simple FFR run through pre and post PCI (Now RFR, iFR, QFR). Surprisingly, very few inquisitive minds wanted to do this. I can find 5 related papers. The fifth one is very specific: REPEAT-FFR study. Go through at least that one paper and find the answer yourself. Cardiology fellows it is worth reading about this important stud...

Distal vs proximal strut crossing in BFL : Who is trying to sustain the confusion ?
Anyone who is flushed with millions can become a member of The Hurlingham Club in London or the Yacht Club in Monaco, or other glamorous clubs in the world. But, EBC* is different. Only cardiologists are privileged to enter. EBC is obviously different and unique. It is probably the only club addressing exclusively bifurcation coronary lesions. Apart from immense pride and academic entertainment, it teaches us some deep technical points. (By the way, BFL* is the minuscule spoke in the gigantic wheels of global atherosclerosis) Approach to BFL Although 90% of BFL still require a only drugs or simple single stent or a p...

63 year old with " good story for ACS " but negative troponins.....
 This was texted to me from a former resident, while working at a small rural hospital, with the statement:" I can ’t convince myself of anything here, but he’s a 63-year-old guy with prior stents and a good story for ACS. "  (Chest pain or discomfort)What do you think?Here was my response:" Suspicious for inferior posterior OMI.  Get serial ECGs "He then sent a previous from 4 years prior:" This is totally normal, which confirms that the first EKG does indeed represent OMI "Then the patient ' s chest pain resolved and he recorded another:The ST depression in aVL is gone and the T-waves are less hyperacu...

Burnout and compassion fatigue: chronic workplace stress and emotional withdrawal
Over the past five years, the term “burnout” has become closely associated with the health care field. It has reached the point where more than 60 percent of surveyed physicians reported experiencing burnout in 2021, indicating that it has become an epidemic within our profession. It’s important to understand that burnout is not a personal Read more… Burnout and compassion fatigue: chronic workplace stress and emotional withdrawal originally appeared in KevinMD.com.

Poor Long Term Outcome With Subsequent Pregnancies After Peripartum Cardiomyopathy
This study was from a single centre where mortality in women with peripartum cardiomyopathy was higher than in other studies from the United Studies. Most of the patients were African American and of low socioeconomic status. Earlier studies have clearly demonstrated a different phenotypic presentation and outcome in African American women with peripartum cardiomyopathy compared to non-African American women. African American women had been shown to be diagnosed later, present lower LVEF, larger LV volume and more severe heart failure symptoms. The rate of recovery was lower and time for recovery markedly longer in that pa...
