TL;DR: The goal of therapy for bradycardia or tachycardia is to rapidly identify and treat patients who are hemodynamically unstable or symptomatic due to the arrhythmia.

TL;DR: The recommendations in this 2015 American Heart Association (AHA) Guidelines Update for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) are based on an extensive evidence review process that was begun by the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitate (ILCOR) after the publication of the ILCOR 2010 International Consensus on Cardiac Arrest Science With Treatment Recommendations.

TL;DR: Application of an AED in communities is associated with nearly a doubling of survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, and these results reinforce the importance of strategically expanding community-based AED programs.

TL;DR: The 2021 AHA/ACC/ASE/CHEST/SAEM/SCCT/SCMR Guideline for the Evaluation and Diagnosis of Chest Pain this paper provides recommendations based on contemporary evidence on the assessment and evaluation of chest pain.

TL;DR: A strong association between survival outcomes and increased compression depth is found but no clear evidence to support or refute the 2010 recommendations of >50 mm is found.
