A 50-year-old with a normal ECG and troponin – Safe or Sorry? –so many learning points on this one, including lots of discussion on takotsubo. Is this takotsubo? drsmithsecgblog.com/a-50-yea… @PMcardioApp @willyhfrick @TheECGMedic

A 30-something patient with chest pain, resolved after a “GI cocktail.” And even if an ECG is non-diagnostic, must at least one troponin be measured? @PMcardioApp drsmithsecgblog.com/a-30-som…

Replying to @MubarakAlhatemi
@PMcardioApp states 89.4% for "ARHS" (Acute right heart strain). That is, pulmonary embolism or other pathologies that cause sudden increase in pulmonary artery pressure.

Jared, Kushner and Steve Witcoff have a direct financial interest in keeping Russian oil flowing and refineries in good shape. They are in direct conflict with American interests. This is one reason why they don’t care about Ukrainians being killed.

Is this OMI, Subendocardial ischemia, LVH, or some combination? You can see the results of an experimental PMcardio Queen of Hearts model for OMI mimics. drsmithsecgblog.com/is-this-… @PMcardioApp

Absolutely correct! No exaggeration! 27 yo F w acute pulm edema, then VF arrest. Team of cardiologists refused to do angiogram because she "couldn't possibly have MI at 27yo". After trop peaked at 500,000, they did it & found a 100% Left main occlusion. Died. @PMcardioApp
