Anticoagulation Strategies in Atrial Fibrillation

…consequence of this triad is severe: cardioembolic strokes associated with AF are typically larger, present with more severe neurological deficits, and carry higher rates of…

Drugs in the emergency setting

…kg (maximum 6 mg), then 0.2 mg/kg (maximum 12 mg) Give into a large vein with a rapid flush. Warn the patient Amiodarone…

Aortic regurgitation

…because cardiac output diminishes in parallel with increasing myocardial load (and hence oxygen demand). The most common causes of acute aortic regurgitation are aortic dissection…

Pulmonary Embolism (PE)

…ventricle, which is counteracted by dilatation of the ventricle. Dilatation of the right ventricle results in reduced intraventricular pressure and thereby reduced myoardial load. Pulmonary…

Tricuspid regurgitation (TR/TI)

…back to the right atrium and venous system, resulting in dilation of vena cava inferior ( 2.1 cm). Severe tricuspid regurgitation may lead to systolic…

The QRS complex: ECG features of the Q-wave, R-wave, S-wave & duration

…vector resulting from activation of the right ventricle does not come to expression , because it is drowned by the many times larger vector generated by…

Atrial and ventricular enlargement: hypertrophy and dilatation on ECG

…is usually associated with poor ventricular function and lower QRS amplitudes. Hypertrophy and dilatation may coexist. Moreover, the ECG cannot distinguish whether large QRS amplitudes…

The physiology of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)

…VT]). The VF waveform is initially coarse ( i.e fibrillatory waves have large amplitudes) but as the duration of VF is prolonged, the amplitude gradually…

Dual Antiplatelet Therapy Duration After Acute Coronary Syndromes and Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

…A duration of 6 months after ACS is generally considered too short for routine use, but it may be considered in selected patients with a…
