The ischemic cascade

…alterations are evident. Subjective symptoms (i.e. chest pain) appear as the last event in the cascade. Thus, ischemic episodes may pass asymptomatically. Importance of…

Acquired QT Prolongation and Drug-Induced Arrhythmia

…to 50% of SCA cases, though determining the exact underlying cause and its reversibility is often difficult. Physical examination and clinical evaluation should focus on…

🟠 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)
