Background: Professionals, especially in the field of digital public health (DiPH), are crucial for a successful digital transformation in social and health care. However, it is still unclear to what extent academic professionals are taught DiPH-related content in their public health (PH) studies.
Methods: This study used a systematic module handbook analysis to analyze accredited full-time PH-oriented degree programs at public colleges and universities in Germany for DiPH-related module content.
Shark fin or triangular QRS-ST-T waveform ECG pattern, also known as lambda-wave ST elevation or giant R wave syndrome, is a particular ECG presentation where QRS complex, ST-segment and T-wave are fused in a unique complex. Originally described in some patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) during the acute phase, it has been found to be associated with a high risk of ventricular fibrillation and cardiogenic shock as well as with a high in-hospital mortality. However, shark fin ECG pattern has also been reported in patients with non-acute coronary syndrome related ST-elevation (NASTEP), including stress-induced takotsubo syndrome (TTS).
