Continued debate between "rate vs. rhythm" control in the ED, with a growing trend toward early cardioversion for stable, recent-onset patients to reduce admissions. 🏥 New Technologies & Clinical Support

Early aggressive use of nitroglycerin (often high-dose) for "SCAPE" (Sympathetic Crashing Acute Pulmonary Edema) cases to avoid intubation.

Bedside cardiac ultrasound is essential for differentiating undifferentiated shock and identifying regional wall motion abnormalities. ⚡ Cardiac Arrest & Resuscitation What's New in Emergency Cardiology?

Tools like EvidenceCare are being integrated into EMRs to provide real-time, cardiology-specific decision support.

Strategies to reduce "boarding" include streamlined protocols for admitting patients who clearly meet inpatient criteria early in their visit. Innovation Impact on Care hs-cTn Protocols Continued debate between "rate vs

Modern guidelines emphasize considering beta-blockers (e.g., esmolol) or double sequential external defibrillation (DSED) for shock-resistant rhythms.
