Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Emergency cardiac problems are a frequent and significant occurrence in the daily life of the emergency physician. The first part of this article discusses some of the pearls and pitfalls of caring for the cardiac patient ranging from treating wide-complex tachycardia and troubleshooting pacemaker malfunction to diagnosing acute myocardial infarction in the setting of bundle branch blocks. The second part of this article updates the reader on several of the newer technologies and treatments, such as transesophageal echocardiography and intravenous amiodarone, now in use in the emergency department setting. |
