This is a story of two medical studies. One enhances faith in the scientific process. The other induces cynicism. The specifics of the interventions—one for atrial fibrillation (AF), the other for heart failure—are not the point. The point is the opposite ways in which scientists interpreted and presented the results. Chapter 1: The DECAAF II trial tested two approaches to the ablation of patients with persistent AF.

Jugular venous distention (JVD) is a classic physical exam finding taught for ages, but assessing it can be a challenge. Can ultrasound do a better job and therefore offer a non-invasive evaluation of the patient’s right heart pressures? This goal has been the pursuit of many ultrasounds before. This time we have a new vessel to assess and a nice reference standard (right heart cath)!

There is a tiny amount of STE in aVL, but it is NOT in the context of a tiny R-wave. There is a tiny amount of STD in lead III, with some non-specific T-wave flattening. I am glad that Ken Grauer (below) brings up the issue of whether the presence of "T-wave in V1 taller than T-wave in V6" is evidence for OMI.

OSHA mandates every employer keeps a record of every work related illness and injury. There are three forms: one describes the incident, the second describes the establishment, and the third describes the employee involved. Employers must keep these forms five years after the incident because it will be easier to update them. These forms are crucial to keeping the workplace safe and finding patterns of illness and injury.
