Sick Sinus Syndrome
Sinus node is the natural pacemaker of the heart which gives out regular electrical pulses to produce each heartbeat. When it is diseased, this function is defective and called sick sinus syndrome. Sinus node, known in short as SA node, is situated in the right upper part of the heart. Normally it gives out 60 to 100 pulses per minute so that heart beats at the same rate. When you exercise or are having a stress, the rate increases gradually. When the sinus node stops functioning, it can manifest as a long pause in the ECG, the recording of the electrical activity of the heart. Just as the next senior person takes charge i...

What is Paradoxical Motion of Interventricular Septum?
Interventricular septum is a common wall shared by the left ventricle and right ventricle. Normally it contracts with the left ventricle, that is why when it does not contract in synchrony with the left ventricle it is known as paradoxical septal motion. The paradoxical motion is due to change in the shape of the left ventricle. Normally the left ventricle is circular in cross section in both systole and diastole. In right ventricular volume overload, septum becomes flat or even concave towards the right ventricle in diastole. This curvature reverts in systole, producing the paradoxical motion. The authors of the cited stu...

The Challenges Inherent in Understanding a Fast-Moving, Developing Field
This messy popular science article is an essay length expression of futility on the part of a journalist who accepts that he is not equipped to understand the field of aging research and the longevity industry that has arisen in the past decade. One can talk to the talking heads, but they will all say something different. One can look for proof of efficacy for specific approaches, and find only contradictory data, or only compelling animal data, or only small effect sizes, and a lack of the sort of certainty that arises from large human trials. Those trials are still in the future for near every approach to the treatment o...

What do you call fluid collection around the heart?
Pericardial effusion is collection of fluid within the layers covering the heart. Pericardium is the covering of the heart. It has an inner layer and an outer layer. Fluid collects in between these layers in certain disease conditions and compresses the heart. If the amount of fluid is large or there is a rapid increase in the rate of fluid collection, the compression of the heart prevents its proper filling. An unfilled heart is not able to pump out blood well and the blood pressure falls. This serious condition is known as cardiac tamponade. Cardiac tamponade needs urgent removal of fluid from the pericardial cavity by n...

Wednesday Bible Study: Rehashing
Psalm 105 is a lengthy song of praise that recounts God ' s faithfulness to the Israelites, mostly reciting purported events in Exodus. The introduction is adapted -- largely copied actually -- from 1 Chronicles 16, in which David sets up the Ark and commissions a song of praise by Asaph. Note verse 35 -- there are no caterpillars in the canonical version of Exodus. The caterpillars have come up before, which presumably means that they were working from an alternative version of the story. I don ' t need to harp on the moral depravity of the story -- the 7 year famine God causes, the murder of Egyptian children, the g...

Which coronary artery is called widow maker artery and why?
Coronary arteries are blood vessels supplying oxygenated blood to the heart muscle. LAD is short for left anterior descending coronary artery. LAD is usually the largest branch of the left main coronary artery which supplies the major portion of the left ventricle. Hence blockage of LAD can cause a major heart attack, which can sometimes be fatal. That is why LAD has been called a widow maker artery. LAD supplies the front region of the left ventricle and the partition wall between the ventricles. Ventricles are the lower muscular pumping chambers of the heart. When the LAD is blocked at its origin, the resulting damage to...

Treadmill Stress ECG
Treadmill Exercise ECG is usually done with a computerized treadmill unit which controls the motor speed of the treadmill as well as monitors the ECG. ECG is recorded periodically during the test in addition to documenting any specific events like arrhythmias. Ideally treadmill test is done in a basal state so that the process of digestion of food and consequent increase in cardiac output does not interfere with the assessment. If it is a diagnostic test, the individual should be off medications. But if it is for assessment of effort tolerance while on treatment, it may be done on medications. Though various protocols like...

Take the OMI Quiz and Test yourself against the Queen of Hearts
QuizThe PM Cardio Queen of Hearts AI model for ECG interpretation from Powerful Medical is still in its early days. Do you think you can outperform the toddler version of the AI model? Version 2.0 will soon be available with four times the training data.The QoH groups ECGs intoOMI andNOT OMI. Each category is subdivided into three levels of confidence. Thus you can get a reading of NOT OMI (low, mid or high). Or you can get sa reading of OMI (low, mid or high). In other words there are six outputs with NOT OMI high confidence on one end and OMI high confidence on the other end.Take t...
