One-year mortality after acute myocardial infarction continues to decrease, and changes in the prognostic value of traditional methods of risk stratification have occurred.
SAECG adjustments for sex, age, and MI location did not improve sensitivity and specificity but produced a more uniform predictive performance. The proposed criteria are based only on QRSd, because late potentials (VRMS and LAS) did not discriminate patients with sudden death. Duration of high-level activity during QRS (QRSd-LAS) can predict AEs, suggesting that the arrhythmogenic substate involves a large mass of myocardium.
Objective. To assess the redesign of a clinical pharmacokinetics course that incorporated case-based learning to enhance group interaction and individual participation. Design. The clinical pharmacokinetics course was divided into 3 sections based on content. Section 1 utilized case-based learning with small in-class groups; section 2 used a more traditional style of teaching, and section 3 was taught with case-based learning but using large in-class groups. The casebased learning approach was assessed using examination scores and attitudinal surveys. Assessment. Students enjoyed the applied format of case-based learning. Examination scores were higher when case-based learning was used than in historical controls. Conclusions. Case-based learning allowed class-time to be used for higher levels of learning and assessment instead of the more typical content delivery.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
