Written By Magnus Nossen — with edits by Ken Grauer and Smith. The patient in today’s case is a previously healthy 40-something male who contacted EMS due to acute onset crushing chest pain. 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.

(MedPage Today) -- Persistent anxiety raised the risk of all-cause dementia in older adults, a longitudinal study showed. Both chronic anxiety (HR 2.80, 95% CI 1.35-5.72, P=0.01) and new-onset anxiety (HR 3.20, 95% CI 1.40-7.45, P=0.01) were tied.

A new study has identified new genetic and molecular risk factors that may reveal new pathways for treating patients after they experience their first stroke. The study identified CCL27 and TNFRSF14, two proteins that are associated with subsequent MACE, but not initial strokes. These proteins are known to activate inflammation, which plays a key role in the development of strokes and many chronic conditions and diseases.

This patient was witnessed by bystanders to collapse. They started CPR. EMS arrived and found him in Ventricular Fibrillation (VF). He was defibrillated into VT. He then underwent dual sequential defibrillation into asystole. After 1 mg of epinephrine they achieved ROSC. Total prehospital meds were epinephrine 1 mg x 3, amiodarone 300 mg and 100 mL of 8.4% sodium bicarbonate.

Nearly 40 million adults in the U.S. have sleep apnea, and more than 30 million of them use a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine while sleeping. However, the machines tend to be expensive, clunky and uncomfortable -- resulting in many users giving up on using them. High blood pressure is often linked with sleep apnea because the brain works harder to regulate blood flow and breathing during sleep.
