Silent Myocardial Infarction: A Case Report
We present a case of a 59-year-old overweight woman with prediabetes, primary hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia who presented for herpes zoster (HZ) follow-up; she reported having skipped heartbeats and heart rate fluctuations during the review of systems. On further workup, ECG revealed low voltage QRS complexes, flat QRS complexes, flat T waves, and pathological Q waves, suggesting the diagnosis of SMI. Based on the identified risk factors, including high BMI, prediabetes, primary hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, HZ, and newly diagnosed SMI, the patient was advised to continue with lisinopril 20 mg daily, prescri...

Prevalence and clinical significance of electrocardiographic signs of atrial myopathy in rheumatoid arthritis: results from the EDRA study
CONCLUSIONS: Electrocardiographic markers of atrial myopathy are independently associated with RA. Further studies with larger sample size and longer follow-up are needed to determine whether the increased prevalence of atrial myopathy contributes to the increased risk of atrial fibrillation and stroke in this group.PMID:36622121 | DOI:10.55563/clinexprheumatol/d9l4lt

The American Diabetes Association (ADA) reports that in 2019, the most recent year for which data is available, 37.3 million adults in the U.S.—about 11.3% of the population—had the chronic condition, and that number continues to grow. Type 1 diabetes develops when the body isn’t able to produce insulin, and Type 2 occurs when the body doesn’t use insulin correctly. Type 2 is the most common form of diabetes, and when it’s uncontrolled, a person’s blood sugar can jump to dangerous levels that requ...
