2014 AHA/ACC Guideline for the Management of Patients With Non-ST-Elevation Acute Coronary Syndromes
Report of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association on the management of NSTEMI ACS
Higher risk of death and stroke in patients with persistent vs. paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: results from the ROCKET-AF Trial
In patients with AF at moderate-to-high risk of stroke receiving anticoagulation, those with persistent AF have a higher risk of thrombo-embolic events and worse survival compared with paroxysmal AF.
Conversion rates for prehospital paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) with the addition of adenosine: a before-and-after trial
Adenosine was associated with a significant increase in the prehospital conversion rate of stable and unstable PSVT.
The use of a 4-step algorithm in the electrocardiographic diagnosis of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction by novice interpreters
Hartman, Baros and Brady present four simple rules that novice (and even experienced) 12 lead ECG readers can use to rule in most STEMI’s
Ultra-acute increase in blood glucose during prehospital phase is associated with worse short-term and long-term survival in ST-elevation myocardial infarction
In patients with STEMI, ultra-acute hyperglycaemia during prehospital phase is associated with increased mortality, impaired cardiac function and increased size of infarct.
Air versus ground transport of patients with acute myocardial infarction: experience in a rural-based helicopter medical service
Using HEMS in a rural region allows STEMI patients to benefit from appropriate rescue care with delays similar to those seen in urban settings.
Clinician Update: Long QT Syndrome
A case presentation and overview of Long QT Syndrome in Circulation.
Prehospital use of furosemide for the treatment of heart failure
Are we failing to diagnose heart failure in the prehospital setting? And should we still be giving furosemide to those we do diagnose?
Effects of prehospital 12-lead ECG on processes of care and mortality in acute coronary syndrome: a linked cohort study from the Myocardial Ischaemia National Audit Project
Prehospital ECG acquisition and interpretation in STEMI and NSTEMI patients may have survival benefits.
Symptoms of Myocardial Infarction: Concordance between Paramedic and Hospital Records
Can prehospital records show concordance between myocardial infarction symptoms when compared with hospital records and ED diagnosis?
