Epistaxis — compression, cautery and anterior nasal packing

Procedurer Almost all nosebleeds arise from Kiesselbach's plexus on the anterior septum and stop with correctly performed compression. The reason compression nevertheless so often…

Conduction defects ECG Fascicular block (hemiblock): left anterior fascicular block & left posterior fascicular block Fascicular blocks were previously referred to as hemiblocks, but the latter…

Tricuspid regurgitation (TR/TI)

Echocardiography Tricuspid regurgitation The tricuspid valve separates the right ventricle and the right atrium. It normally consists of three leaflets (anterior, posterior and septal leaflet)…

Left Main Coronary Artery Disease: Revascularisation Strategy

…left anterior descending artery was associated with lower five year survival than a more distal lesion. Revascularisation improves myocardial blood flow and angina related health…

Left Ventricular Thrombus After Myocardial Infarction

…endocardium, typically overlying an akinetic or dyskinetic myocardial segment after myocardial infarction (MI). It is particularly associated with extensive anterior or transmural infarction, apical dysfunction…

ECG manifestations of left main coronary artery (LMCA) occlusion and critical stenosis

…acute coronary syndromes. The LMCA supplies a large myocardial territory through the left anterior descending (LAD) and left circumflex (LCx) arteries (Figure 1). Acute obstruction…

Mitral valve stenosis
