Implementation of a Longitudinal Multimodal ECG Curriculum using Residents and Near-Peer Educators Open
Introduction Electrocardiographic interpretation is an essential clinical competency but its proficiency is estimated at only 60% amongst internal medicine and emergency medicine residents. A recommended multimodal approach to electrocardi…

Standing transthoracic echocardiography: a feasibility study Open
Background Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is associated with cardiovascular disease, particularly among older adults. While a standing transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) could theoretically identify changes in cardiac output to diagnose card…

Quantitative Microbial Cell-Free DNA Sequencing From Plasma: A Potential Biomarker for the Diagnosis of Staphylococcal Infection of Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices Open
Background Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) is often associated with infective endocarditis (CIED-IE). The CIED-IE diagnosis is syndromic. Diagnostic uncertainty is common. Fr…

ECG and Atrial Appendage Doppler Discordance Is Common in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgery Open
A large minority of patients without a history of AF undergoing cardiac surgery have ECG/atrial appendage Doppler discordance, a setting that may promote thromboembolism in non-anticoagulated patients. Clinical parameters do not identify p…

2401. The Role of Quantitative Microbial Cell-free DNA (mcfDNA) Sequencing (Seq) from Plasma in the Diagnosis (Dx) of Staphylococcal Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device Infective Endocarditis (CIED IE) Open
Background Optimal treatment (rx) of staphylococcal CIED IE requires removing the entire CIED. Difficulty of dx plus cost and potential morbidity of rx make treatment challenging. Complicated staphylococcal bacteremia is associated with pr…

The spatial ventricular gradient is associated with adverse outcomes in acute pulmonary embolism Open
Background The spatial ventricular gradient (SVG) is a vectorcardiographic measurement that reflects cardiac loading conditions via electromechanical coupling. Objectives We hypothesized that the SVG is correlated with right ventricular (R…

Wide Complex Tachycardia in a Young Woman Open
A 27-year-old woman presented with palpitations and was found to have episodes of a non-sustained wide complex tachycardia. In this report, we discuss a differential diagnosis for the patient's wide complex tachycardia and the important EC…
