DECEMBER 30, 2022
Electrocardiography (ECG) is a diagnostic tool that measures the heart's electrical activity. It is commonly used to diagnose heart attacks, arrhythmias, and other heart conditions. An ECG machine consists of electrodes placed on the patient's chest, arms, and legs, which record the heart's electrical activity and display it on a screen. There are two main types of ECG machines: digital and analog.
A Deep Dive into Aortic Valve Replacement
MIBHS
DECEMBER 30, 2022
A normal functioning aortic valve has three leaflets, usually referred to as cusps, and is positioned at the end of the left ventricle. This valve is the main pump that delivers oxygenated blood to the entire body. An aortic valve replacement is required if someone suffers from Aortic Valve Stenosis or Aortic Valve Insufficiency. These two issues can cause a significant number of problems and can be life-threatening.

30-something woman with a HEART score of zero, EDACS of 2, computer "Normal" ECG, and initial troponin < Limit of Detection
Dr. Smith's ECG Blog
DECEMBER 23, 2022
I was working in triage very late when a 30 yo previously completely healthy woman walked in with 30 minutes of central chest pressure. This ECG was recorded: The computer called it "Normal" except for "Possible right ventricular conduction delay" What do you think? I immediately recognized an inferior-posterior-lateral OMI. There are hyperacute T-waves in II, III, and aVF.

What Causes Pulse Deficit?
MIBHS
DECEMBER 15, 2022
When you are enjoying an athletic activity, you will notice your heart beats faster than when you are just resting and reading a book. When you exercise, your body may need three to four times your average cardiac output. This happens because your muscles need more oxygen when you exert energy. So what causes pulse deficit, and what is it? Pulse deficit is when one finds a difference in count between heartbeat and peripheral pulse.

There appears to be RBBB with excessively discordant ST depression (2-2.5 mm) in V2 and V3, suggestive of RBBB with posterior OMI Whenever you see abnormal ST-T (ST elevation, ST depression, hyperacute T-waves), you MUST look at the entire ECG (rhythm, rate, P-waves, intervals, and QRS) to see if there is some abnormality among these which can explain the ST-T.

One of the great joys of my role is getting to see the impact a new imaging system can have on a healthcare provider and, ultimately, their patients. In fact, the most rewarding experiences are when we get to see the profound personal effect providers have on their patients. Sometimes that means watching the installation of the facility’s first MRI that will enable them to provide access to their population on a daily basis rather than rely on a once-per-week mobile solution.
