Electrocardiograms (ECGs), derived by the transformation of three bipolar quasi-orthogonal leads, have according to EASI lead ECG been introduced for many years for use in emergency situations and for the monitoring of patients during the acute phase of myocardial infarction. Theoretically, a further reduction and simplification of the classic EASI setting of five electrodes may even improve…

Today, in cardiology, acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is one of the most common presentations in hospitals. Usually, the history and presenting features of ACS are very typical. However, some patients have an atypical presentation, which can pose a problem for prompt diagnosis and management, leading to an overall increase in morbidity and mortality in such patients.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the US, with sudden cardiac death (SCD) accounting for most of these fatalities.1 Considering the growing prevalence of coronary heart disease and cardiomyopathies (see Figure 1) that, taken together, cause most SCDs, effective treatments are needed. Since by definition SCD is ‘sudden’ (generally accepted to be within one hour after onset of symptoms…

Athletes may occasionally succumb to sudden cardiac arrest because of a quiescent cardiac abnormality. These catastrophes are rare, affecting between 1 in 17,000 to 1 in 50,000 athletes, depending on the sporting discipline.1,2 Most deaths affect male athletes participating in explosive sports of a start–stop nature, such as basketball and soccer, and occur during or immediately after exercise.1…
