Handheld 6-Lead ECG for Early Detection of Acute Inferior Wall ST-T Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction: HINT-MI Study Design and Rationale.

: ST-T segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a critical condition that requires rapid diagnosis and treatment. Recently, various ECG recording devices have been developed. In this study, we aim to determine the utility of a 6-lead handheld ECG recording device to shorten the time taken for the diagnosis of inferior wall STEMI.

Seasonal variation and prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by cardiogenic shock.

Background: Little is known about the association between seasonal variation and prognosis in patients with CS caused by AMI.

Objectives: We investigated the 12-month clinical outcomes in patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS) according to season.

Methods: A total of 695 patients undergoing PCI for AMI complicated by CS was enrolled from 12 centers in South Korea.

Clinical Implications of Atrial Fibrillation Detection Using Wearable Devices in Patients With Cryptogenic Stroke (CANDLE-AF) Trial: Design and Rationale.

Background: Although many electrocardiography wearable devices have been released recently for the detection of atrial fibrillation (AF), there are few studies reporting prospective data for wearable devices compared to the strategy of the existing guidelines in the detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) after cryptogenic stroke. A tiny single-patch monitor is more convenient than a conventional Holter monitor recording device and, therefore, longer duration of monitoring may be acceptable.

Methods And Design: The CANDLE-AF study is a multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled trial.

A complicated case of myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries with an underlying pheochromocytoma: a case report.

Background: The signs and symptoms of pheochromocytoma can imitate those of many other diseases, which may result in confusion. Therefore, diagnosing and treating secondary hypertension due to pheochromocytoma in deteriorating patients becomes challenging.

Case Presentation: A 63-year-old female patient presented to the emergency room with severe and progressive nausea.

Association Between Cardiovascular Risk Factors and the Severity of Coronavirus Disease 2019: Nationwide Epidemiological Study in Korea.

Acute respiratory viral infections can result in cardiovascular involvement, with such patients having a significantly higher mortality rate than those without cardiovascular involvement. Due to the ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, it is important to determine whether cardiovascular risk factors are associated with the severity of COVID-19. These nationwide data were provided by the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency.
