A 53-year-old male with acute chest pain demonstrates how early changes on the prehospital 12-lead electrocardiogram were used to alert the emergency department treating physicians of an impended ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

New study shows community-based clinicians prefer CT over VQ to evaluate for possible pulmonary embolism in pregnancy even though rates of CT indeterminacy were high and follow-up imaging within 48 hrs of indeterminate results was uncommon ⁦⁦@KPDOR https://t.co/0vHmbkd6yC

Going to #ACEP25 in SLC? Don't miss the Sunday morning talk by our emergency physician/researcher Dana Sax, who will talk about safety and operational impacts of undertriage in the ED. 11 a.m. Sept. 7 in the Research Forum Exhibit Hall Room 1.

[Kaiser Permanente Research NorCal @KPDOR]

Congrats to our researcher Dana Sax, MD, MPH, who received Best Overall Abstract at #ACEP25. She presented on her work around improving triage in the emergency department, focusing on safety and operational impacts of undertriage.

All KPNC emergency departments can now access STRIDE-HF.

This risk tool helps physicians identify which heart failure patients are at low risk and may be safely treated outside the hospital — and which require admission. @KPDOR

🎓"Characterizing Patients With Cold Drink-Triggered Atrial Fibrillation" by @KPCREST1

🥤 Cold drinks may trigger atrial fibrillation ('Cold Drink Heart'). In the only survey to date, 100+ respondents described this association

📌 Cold ❄️ drink 🍺 food 🐠 triggered AF
👉 Avoidance of cold ingestion is highly effective to prevent AF recurrences (86%)

First-of-a-kind study in @JCardioEP by @KPDOR @kpnorcal @PermanenteDocs describes experiences of people with #atrialfibrillation whose flare-ups are triggered by cold foods & drinks, a phenomenon called “cold drink heart.”

Cold drinks may trigger AFib—dubbed ‘Cold Drink Heart.’ In a first-of-a-kind survey study, 100+ respondents reported the link. Most said doctors dismissed it, despite many finding relief with cold drink avoidance. @KPDOR #AFib #ColdDrinkHeart
