TIL the first man to perform cardiac catheterization, did it on himself after tricking a nurse into helping him, he proceeded to walk downstairs and take an X-Ray to prove you wouldn't die. He was fired for self-experimentation, became a Nazi, a lumberjack, then later, won the Nobel Prize.4yr ⋅ [deleted] ⋅ r/Cardiology

Came across this EKG of a 23 year old who came with chest pain. The source of the rhythm does not appear to be sinus. My best guess is postero-inferior surface RA, probably close to coronary sinus ostium. Any input is appreciated.6mo ⋅ AAK_7 ⋅ r/Cardiology

Pt post-op for mitral valve stenosis repair (EKG changes several hours after surgery). K+ normal at 3.2, pt otherwise stable as far as I know, though tubed and sedated.

Admittedly not a professional, but still wanted to share my unique rhythm. Been cleared by cardiologist with echo but he admits he isn't sure what exactly this is. I occasionally go into this rhythm but it has only ever been caught once on moniter in er. Never caught on the 3 holters I did.2yr ⋅ Estinyday ⋅ r/Cardiology
Demand ischemia vs. Nstemi. How do you differentiate the two? Saw this posted screenshot posted in another forum. Certain lines blacked out for privacy. I often see cases diagnosed as demand ischemia when I would certainly say infarction and I think it’s a very confusing diagnosis.2yr ⋅ modernmanshustl ⋅ r/Cardiology

Meet Colton. He was born with shone's complex. He had an aortic coarctation repaired at 10 days old. June 18th will be his 3rd angioplasty to stretch scar tissue blocking his aorta. Now we're just waiting for him to be big enough for an artificial valve. He gets a bit winded but he's still perfect.6yr ⋅ thetallpines ⋅ r/Cardiology
