80 Year Old Female: “Rapid Heart Rate”
On first glance it looks like afib rvr new onset. Without marching the qrs complexes out though, it looks like they are pretty regular, like an accelerated junctional rhythm with every 4th beat dropped. Looks like a p wave can be seen in v1/2, but not sure and I would print a longer strip out…

58 Year Old Male, Workout Worry
@ Eli — I don’t see AFlutter. That is, I see no indication of regular atrial activity at a rate consistent with AFlutter. Instead, the rhythm is irregularly irregular without P waves = AFib at a controlled ventricular response. In my opinion, one doesn’t need Sgarbossa criteria here to activate the cath lab. So, yes the…

Is epinephrine harmful in cardiogenic shock?
Sorry about that; I copied the quote from the article and my browser automatically changed the "μ" to an "m". Thanks for noticing, and thanks for pointing it out in the most passive-aggressive manner possible.

Is epinephrine harmful in cardiogenic shock?
Quote: "... espite the use of >1 mg/kg/min of epinephrine/norepinephrine ..." You guys know the difference between mg and µg, do you?

Electrocardiographically Silent High Lateral STEMI Equivalent
Hi Tom. This is a great case — so NICE that you posted it for others to learned from. But as I commented several times when you sent this case around to our group — the T waves in V2,V3 are disproportionately peaked and transition occurs early (between V1-to-V2) — so the chest leads are NOT…
