The ischemic cascade

…modalities like echocardiography and ECG typically identify ischemia at later stages, when functional or electrical alterations are evident. Subjective symptoms (i.e. chest pain) appear…

🟠 Antiarrhythmic drugs in acute ventricular arrhythmias (ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation)

…acquired). The VT is polymorphic with a gradual alteration in the QRS amplitude, often with twisting of the QRS complex around the isoelectric line. Most…

…acquired). The VT is polymorphic with a gradual alteration in the QRS amplitude, often with twisting of the QRS complex around the isoelectric line. Most…

Pulmonary Embolism (PE)

…substantial reduction in pulmonary perfusion and the subsequent reduction in left ventricular preload lead to a cascade of hemodynamic alterations which may culminate in cardiac…

Acquired QT Prolongation and Drug-Induced Arrhythmia

…and alterations in reentry pathways. Proarrhythmic events occur in 5% to 10% of patients receiving antiarrhythmic agents, and this risk is amplified in the presence…

🟠 Mean arterial pressure (MAP) calculator

…alterations in heart rate, stroke volume, or vascular tone can significantly impact MAP, reflecting the dynamic interplay between cardiac function and vascular resistance. Advantages of…

Early repolarization pattern on ECG (early repolarization syndrome)
