I was sent the ECG in Figure-1 — but without the benefit of any history. QUESTIONS: How would YOU interpret this tracing? WHY do I say there is, "A 2-Part Answer?" Figure-1: The initial ECG in today's case. ( To improve visualization — I've digitized the original ECG using PMcardio ). MY Thoughts on Today's CASE: As important as providing a brief, relevant history is for optimal clinical ECG interpretation — Cases like the one today often prove even more educational, because we are not given any

Healthy adipose tissue is essential for normal physiology. There are 2 broad types of adipose tissue depots: brown adipose tissue (BAT), which contains adipocytes poised to burn energy through thermogenesis, and white adipose tissue (WAT), which contains adipocytes that store lipids. However, within those types of adipose, adipocytes possess depot and cell-specific properties that have important implications.

The pain was 10/10 in intensity radiating bilaterally to the shoulders and also to the left arm and neck. The below ECG was recorded. The ECG shows obvious STEMI(+) OMI due to probable proximal LAD occlusion.

A stroke not only causes acute damage to the brain, but can also have long-term health implications for other organs -- such as the heart. Researchers have worked on the hypothesis that the high rate of comorbidities that develop after a stroke could have a common immunological cause. And they actually managed to find it: The origin of the dysfunctions in other parts of the body lies in the immunological memory of the blood-forming cells in bone marrow.
