You are asked to interpret the ECG in Figure-1. What is the rhythm in ECG #1 ? Figure-1: You are asked to interpret this tracing. What is the rhythm? MY Thoughts on the ECG in Figure-1: I routinely begin assessment of each 12-lead ECG I encounter — with interpretation of the rhythm. To do this — I apply the P s, Q s, 3 R Approach ( See ECG Blog #185 — for review of my system ).

This case comes from Jason Winter, of The Facebook Clinical Electrocardiology ECG Page. A 60-something woman called EMS for chest pain. Here is her first prehospital ECG: What do you think? There is very low voltage in the precordial leads, with a total QRS amplitude of only 3.5 mm in V2 and 4 mm in V3. In spite of this low voltage, there is ST elevation (as measured at the J-point and relative to the PQ junction, and as measured by the computer and shown on the right), of 0.54 mm in V2 and 0.65

CraniUS , a medtech company based in Baltimore, has developed the NeuroPASS drug delivery system. The technology is designed to deliver drugs to the brain, and it can bypass the blood-brain barrier. This layer of specialized endothelium significantly restricts which drug molecules can enter the brain, normally greatly limiting treatment options for patients with brain-based disease.

Sent by anonymous, written by Pendell Meyers, reviewed by Smith and Grauer A man in his 40s presented to the ED with HTN, DM, and smoking history for evaluation of acute chest pain. He was eating lunch when he had sudden onset chest pressure, 9/10, radiating to his back, with sweating and numbness in both hands. Triage ECG: What do you think? It's a very "fun" ECG, with initial ectopic atrial tachycardia (negative P waves in inferior leads conducting 1:1 with the QRSs), followed by spontaneous r

Researchers at Oxford University have developed a tiny battery that can power small implantable devices, such as drug delivery technologies. The new battery is inspired by the ionic gradients that electric eels use to generate electricity. It involves tiny droplets of a conductive hydrogel that are placed near each other. Each droplet has a different ionic concentration, meaning that ions will flow from high concentration droplets to low concentration droplets.

The patient was attending a party with his family when “someone started shooting.” The patient believes some stucco or stone fragment from a brick wall struck him in the neck during the initial incident, but his primary concern was for his more seriously wounded family members.

Did you know that there are comprehensive respiratory viral panels that will test for dozens of viruses all at once? Did you know that these tests are very expensive, and that they rarely alter management? Did you know that Choosing Wisely recommends that we do not routinely obtain them for respiratory viral illnesses? Of course you did, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t watch this entertaining video that I made with Dr.
