Acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a life-threatening condition often associated with significant cardiac complications, particularly in the presence of underlying multivessel coronary artery disease. Mechanical complications, such as acute mitral regurgitation (MR), can worsen the clinical course, leading to rapid hemodynamic deterioration. Recent advancements in mechanical circulatory support and percutaneous interventions have introduced new therapeutic options, offering viable alternatives to traditional surgery for high-risk patients.

Over the past sixty years, telemetry monitoring has become integral to hospital care, offering critical insights into patient health by tracking key indicators like heart rate, respiratory rate, blood pressure, and oxygen saturation. Its primary application, continuous electrocardiographic (ECG) monitoring, is essential in diverse settings such as emergency departments, step-down units, general wards, and intensive care units for the early detection of cardiac rhythms signaling acute clinical deterioration. Recent advancements in data analytics and machine learning have expanded telemetry's role from observation to prognostication, enabling predictive models that forecast inhospital events indicative of patient instability.

A 58-year-old hypertensive man was admitted with severe central chest pain and palpitation. His electrocardiogram (ECG) showed fast atrial fibrillation with features suggestive of left main coronary artery occlusion. He was taken to the Cath-lab but surprisingly, coronary angiogram (CAG) showed no stenosis.

Background: Electrocardiography (ECG) interpretation competency is vital to ensure the timely initiation of life-saving treatment for emergent ECG conditions. This competency has not been well-studied among pediatric and child health residents. Hence, the study aimed to determine the competency in ECG interpretation and its predictors among residents at the National University of Ethiopia.

The Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University, Xuzhou, Jiangsu, 221000, China.
Background: Based on explainable DenseNet model, the therapeutic effects of optimization nursing on patients with acute left heart failure (ALHF) and its application values were discussed.
Method: In this study, 96 patients with ALHF in the emergency department of the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University were selected. According to different nursing methods, they were divided into conventional group and optimization group.
