TL;DR: High rates of recurrent SCAD; its association with female sex, pregnancy, and physical and emotional stress triggers; and concurrent systemic arteriopathies, particularly fibromuscular dysplasia highlight the differences in clinical characteristics of SCAD compared with atherosclerotic disease.

TL;DR: This statement provides a formal and updated definition for the broadly labelled term MINOCA (incorporating the definition of acute myocardial infarction from the newly released “Fourth Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction”) and provides a clinically useful framework and algorithms for the diagnostic evaluation and management of patients with myocardia in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease.

TL;DR: The ED plays a unique role in the continuum of AHFS treatment, functioning for most patients as the initial point of definitive healthcare contact, the location where primary stabilization is achieved, and the site where disposition decisions are generally made.

TL;DR: Wellness must be a high priority for health care systems to optimize health in clinicians to enhance high-quality care and decrease the odds of costly preventable medical errors.

TL;DR: Overall survival and functional status are poor in patients with tracheostomy for respiratory failure; however, patients who are liberated from mechanical ventilation and have their trachostomy tubes removed have the best survival, however, it comes at a higher hospital cost and longer length of stay.
