Was the past perfect ? I don ’ t know, but the future looks tense … welcome on-board, to automated ACS management.
Charles river esplanade ,Boston* : A healthy middle-aged man who was jogging quietly, while his heart was under intense scrutiny by the bionic eyes of Apple i-watch’s smart patch electrode.

Keeping Up with Technology and Innovation
Charles Darwin once stated: “It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.” The field of cardiology is continuously changing, and exciting advancements made over the past few decades have led to the discovery of life-saving treatments and therapies. A recently published article in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology by Robert Roberts, MD, MACC, and colleagues discusses one such advancement: genomics in cardiovascular disease. The authors explain the history of the development, but note the conund...

Patient Safety and Medical Professionalism: How Far Do the Conflicts Go?
Recently, the US Department of Justice levied a 40 million dollar fine against CareFusion, makers of ChloraPrep® surgical skin antiseptic agent, because of kickback money paid to one member of the National Quality Forum's board, Dr. Charles Denham, MD.  As a result, it's become clear that much of the physician demonizing and marketing hoopla surrounding the patient safety movement might not be

Integrity of acid-bath stem cell paper questioned — possible retraction
Oh folks. I am sorry about this. Six weeks ago, I published this guest post from Michael Zhang, an MD-PhD candidate at the University of Louisville, on what I felt were two pioneering papers in biology. Michael did a great job reviewing and explaining the papers, which described a simple method of reprogramming mature mammalian cells. I felt safe in writing about these remarkable studies because they were published in the prestigious journal Nature. I assumed the work survived a rigorous vetting and editorial process. Now, a co-author of one of the papers, as well as other researchers have questioned the scientific integri...

On the eve of ESC 2014 — Barcelona Spain
The 2014 European Society of Cardiology Congress begins tomorrow in Barcelona, Spain. I’m here with my colleagues from the theheart.org Medscape | Cardiology to cover the action. ESC is special because it is such a large meeting, with over 30,000 registered attendees and more than 500 journalists. This year’s addition has an added flair–as the most anticipated cardiology trial in years is scheduled to be announced tomorrow. It’s called Paradigm-HF, and it’s a large multi-center randomized controlled trial comparing the novel drug, LCZ696, to standard ACE-inhibitor for the treatment of congesti...

Calcification of patent ductus arteriosus
Brief Review Abstract: Calcified patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) produces an inverted Y shaped pattern of calcification on x-ray chest PA view. Detection of calcification of the patent ductus arteriosus is important because of potential problems with surgical management. The simple surgery for closure of patent ductus arteriosus was triple ligation which was a closed heart procedure not requiring cardiopulmonary bypass. But a calcified ductus cannot be dealt with by this procedure. The general dictum is that a calcified ductus needs division and ligation with support of cardiopulmonary bypass. This is more likely to be ne...

Trust in science and medical experts
This week is a good time to talk about trust in expert opinion and science. For the past forty years, nutrition experts in the US have warned us about cholesterol and fat. Eat too much of it and it will block your arteries, was the proclamation. Americans did what the scientists and experts said. They ate low-fat foods. You see how that worked out. Now, the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee will soon tell the American people that they were wrong about saturated fat and cholesterol. Experts, who had based their recommendations on scientific evidence, will reverse course and say…oops. Our bad. The science was not t...

Diffuse ST Elevation and Chest Pain, What is it?
A male in his 40s presented by EMS with 24 hours of chest pain.  The pain was central, anterior, dull and squeezing, and 5/10, not worsened with activity but associated with mild shortness of breath.No prehospital 12-lead could be found.Here is the initial ECG at time zero:QTc is 386 ms.  There is scary ST elevation especially in V2 and aVL, with some reciprocal ST depression in III. However, the ST elevation in V2 has a saddleback appearance.  I have seen Anterior saddleback ST elevation as a finding in anterior MI only once ever, in all the ECGs and MIs I have reviewed.If you apply the early repol vs. LAD ...
