Experience of a smartphone ambulatory ECG clinic for emergency department patients with palpitation: a single-centre cohort study
Conclusions There were 17 cardiac diagnoses (7.2%). The cost per symptomatic rhythm diagnosis was 358 GBP (~415 Euro) and the cost per cardiac dysrhythmia diagnosis was 4570 GBP (~5298 Euro). A smartphone-based event recorder clinic should be considered for ED palpitation patients. (Source: European Journal of Emergency Medicine)

Effectiveness of the modified Valsalva manoeuvre in adults with supraventricular tachycardia: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Background and importance Cardiac arrhythmia, specifically paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), accounts for a substantial proportion of emergency medical services resources utilisation. Reconversion requires increasing the atrioventricular node’s refractoriness, which can be achieved by vagal manoeuvres, pharmacological agents or electrical cardioversion. There are multiple variants of vagal manoeuvres, including the Valsalva manoeuvre (VM). While the effectiveness of the standard VM has already been systematically reviewed, there has been no such analysis for the modified VM. Objective(s) Compare t...

Outcomes of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Introduction Out-of-hospital cardiac arrests increased during the COVID-19 pandemic and a direct mechanism of cardiac arrest in infected patients was hypothesized. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess outcomes of SARS-CoV-2 patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Methods PubMed and EMBASE were searched up to April 05, 2021. We included studies comparing out-of-hospital cardiac arrests patients with suspected or confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection versus noninfected patients. The primary outcome was survival at hospital discharge or at 30 days. Secondary outcomes included retur...
