Hyponatremia in neurological patients: cerebral salt wasting versus inappropr...Amit Agrawal
?
This document discusses hyponatremia in neurological patients, specifically comparing cerebral salt wasting syndrome (CSW) and syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion (SIADH). It notes that hyponatremia is common in acute neurological patients and can worsen outcomes. The key difference between CSW and SIADH is volume status, which is difficult to assess, though treatment differs with fluid restriction for SIADH and saline replacement for CSW. Correct diagnosis and management of hyponatremia in these patients is important.

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) uses an implanted device to resynchronize heart ventricle contractions, improving heart pumping efficiency. CRT-Ds additionally treat abnormal heart rhythms. CRT benefits include improved hemodynamics, reduced heart remodeling, and reduced hospitalizations and mortality. CRT is indicated for patients with left ventricular dysfunction, heart failure symptoms, and prolonged QRS duration, especially over 150ms with left bundle branch block. Randomized trials show CRT effectiveness includes these benefits compared to conventional therapy.

This document summarizes techniques for clinically measuring cerebral blood flow (CBF). It discusses the historical background and development of CBF measurement. Currently available clinical techniques include stable xenon-enhanced CT, PET, SPECT, intracarotid xenon studies, CT perfusion imaging, and MRI perfusion imaging. Xenon-enhanced CT provides whole-brain CBF maps but requires specialized equipment. SPECT and intracarotid xenon studies are more widely accessible. CT perfusion imaging allows CBF, cerebral blood volume, and mean transit time mapping but with limited brain coverage. Examples and advantages/disadvantages of each technique are provided.
The electrocardiogram, a basic tool in cardiology has been developed two centuries ago. It was recorded by a giant machine at that time, which is now being recorded on a mobile. Such is the advancement in ECG, which is still the gold standard in diagnosis of VT .
Lown-Ganong-Levine Syndrome is a condition where there is an accessory pathway called the James fiber that bypasses the atrioventricular node, shortening the PR interval without widening the QRS complex or producing a delta wave. It differs from Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome in that the accessory pathway is intranodal rather than a direct connection between the atria and ventricles, so ventricular conduction occurs through the normal pathways without early ventricular activation. The key criteria for Lown-Ganong-Levine Syndrome are a shortened PR interval under 0.12 seconds, normal QRS width, and absence of a delta wave.
The document discusses intracardiac electrograms (IEGMs) and catheter positions used in electrophysiology studies. It provides information on unipolar and bipolar recordings, including how bipolar signals are constructed and how they approximate the rate of change of the cardiac wavefront. The document also discusses how the direction of cardiac activation influences the electrocardiogram and how unipolar and bipolar recordings compare. Key factors that influence electrogram morphology such as conduction speed, myocardial mass, and tissue characteristics are also reviewed.
This document provides information about electrophysiologic studies (EPS), including the purpose, requirements, procedures, and how to read EPS tracings. An EPS involves placing electrode catheters in the heart to record electrical activity, stimulate heart tissues, and induce/evaluate arrhythmias. Key aspects of an EPS include determining the sequence of impulse propagation in different heart areas during normal sinus rhythm, pacing, and induced rhythms to diagnose arrhythmias.
An electrophysiology study involves placing electrode catheters in the heart to assess conduction and induce arrhythmias. It can evaluate conditions like supraventricular tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia, sinus node dysfunction, and conduction abnormalities. The study assesses basic intervals, sinus node function, refractory periods, and the response to atrial and ventricular extra stimuli pacing to determine appropriate therapy. Complications may include vascular or cardiac issues, but the study provides important information to guide treatment of arrhythmias.
This document discusses ECG artifacts and pitfalls in interpretation. It outlines 10 commandments for proper ECG acquisition to avoid artifacts. Artifacts are classified as internal (physiological) or external (non-physiological). Common artifacts include limb and precordial lead reversals, tremor artifact, computer averaging errors, and electromagnetic interference. Differentiating artifacts from true arrhythmias like ventricular tachycardia is important. Characteristics that can help differentiate include absence of hemodynamic effects, normal complexes within the artifact, and association with movement. Proper electrode placement and equipment grounding can help reduce artifact occurrence.

2. It covers topics such as pacing and sensing functions, parameters like lower and upper rates, pacing modes, and refractory and blanking periods.
3. The optimal settings aim to ensure cardiac pacing meets patients' needs while avoiding unnecessary pacing and maximizing battery longevity.
Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a rare, chronic occlusive cerebrovascular disease where the arteries at the base of the brain become narrowed and obstructed. In adults, MMD commonly presents with cerebral hemorrhage, while in children it typically causes cerebral ischemia. The pathology of MMD involves fibrocellular thickening of the intimal layer and disruption of the internal elastic lamina of vessels. Surgical treatment aims to augment blood flow by direct or indirect revascularization techniques such as superficial temporal artery to middle cerebral artery bypass or encephaloduroarteriosynangiosis. Preoperative management focuses on stabilizing clinical symptoms and optimizing patient hemodynamics prior to surgery.
