Innovations in Cardiology
Hi everyone,
I have heard a lot about interaction between innovations and cardiology supply, but have never seen something concretely new and as much effective as described. Maybe someone has some examples of such innovative cardio medical devices or equipment? I'm pleased to hear any of your useful minds and suggestions about this theme. Thanks:) (Source: Doc2Doc BMJ Cardiology)

Clinical question of the week: should RBBB be an indication for primary PCI?
In a patient with symptoms suggestive of acute myocardial infarction, a new-onset left bundle branch block (LBBB) is considered an indication for reperfusion therapy i.e. primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) or thrombolysis. In contrast, a new-onset of right bundle branch block is not considered as an indication for administration of reperfusion therapy in this context. The question arises: (Source: Doc2Doc BMJ Cardiology)

What your patient is thinking: "My experience of stressed out staff..."
Growing up with pioneering treatment is the latest What your patient is thinking piece from The BMJ. It is written by Liza Morton who was the world's first 11 day old baby with congestive heart failure to be attached to an external cardiac pacemaker for complete heart block. She was fitted with five early implantable pacemakers by thoracotomy before age 7, she had surgical repair of her atrial septal defect and her first variable rate pacemaker in her early teens, and four further variable rate pacemakers.
She describes her childhood memories of being treated for congenital h...

Prescribing inotropes in heart failure
Hello everyone,
I am on my cardiology rotation and am having trouble coming to grips to prescribing inotropes. Can someone help me with the following:
1. Dobutamine
- What is meant by singe, double triple strength
e.g. consultant asks to prescribe single strength dobutamine, is this 5mcg/kg/hr? and is double strength 10mcg/kg/hr?
- How do you calculate the rate e.g. mg/hr, mg/min
2. Dopamine
- What is meant by singe, double triple strength
e.g. consultant asks to prescribe single strength dobutamine, is this 5mcg/kg/hr? and is double strength 10mcg/kg/hr?
- How...

Should more people be encouraged to eat chillli?
A recent BMJ article that purports that intake of higher amounts of spices are associated with decreased mortality has grabbed some attention-
http://www.bmj.com/content/351/bmj.h3942
After multivariate adjustment, spicy food consumption was inversely associated with the risks of death due to ischemic heart diseases-which is remarkable.
While it suffers from limitations of measurement error, possible bias, confounding, and reverse causality, which are common problems in epidemiology, the efforts of the authors to minimise some of these limitations are notable.
As the linked editorial notes-

Thrombectomy for stroke-flash in pan or game-changer?
There is emerging evidence that endovascular therapy (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke significantly improved functional outcomes (without compromising safety) in patients with acute ischaemic stroke due to anterior circulation, large artery occlusion, compared with standard therapy.A recent spate of multiple trials have shown this, as did a pooled analysis-

It has also received endorsement from national societies and guidelines-

It may lead to a paradigm shift...
