Based on the principle that the distal coronary pressure measured during vasodilation is directly proportional to maximum vasodilated perfusion.
FFR is defined as the ratio of maximum blood flow in a stenotic artery to maximum blood flow in the same artery if there were no stenosis.
FFR is simply calculated as a ratio of mean pressure distal to a stenosis (Pd) to the mean pressure proximal stenosis, that is the mean pressure in the aorta (Pa), during maximal hyperaemia.
A transesophageal echocardiogram, or TEE, is an alternative way to perform an echocardiogram. A specialized probe containing an ultrasound transducer at its tip is passed into the patient's esophagus. This allows image and Doppler evaluation which can be recorded. It has several advantages and some disadvantages compared with a transthoracic echocardiogram.
Speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) is an echocardiographic imaging technique that analyzes the motion of tissues in the heart by using the naturally occurring speckle pattern in the myocardium or blood when imaged by ultrasound.

A.) Explain the differences between the “P-wave” vector with the “R-wave” vector based on the
electrical and anatomical properties of the heart.
B.) Often the “R-wave” vector with the “T-wave” vector have similar directions and magnitudes.
Explain why that might be.
Solution
Ans:
1. The QRS complex is made up of three waves. These waves indicate the changing direction
of the electrical stimulus as it possess through the heart’s conduction system. The largest wave in
the QRS comples is the R wave. The R wave represent the electrical stimulus as it possess
through main portion of the ventricular walls. The walls of the ventricles are very thick due to
the amount of work they have to do and consequently, more voltage is required. This is why the
R wave is by far the biggest wave generated during normal condition.as against T wave vector.
P-wave : The P-wave represents spread of electrical activity through the atrial musculature after
the sino-atrial node discharges. In man the P-wave begins about 0.02 second before the atrial
contraction. Variations in direction of migration of the electrical disturbance may produce
variations in configuration of the P-wave. One of the practical problems in electrocardiology is
identification of the P-waves. Identification may be difficult when the P-wave is iso-electric, or
when rapid heart rates cause the P-wave to be superimposed on the T-wave.
2. Postpacing precordial T-wave inversion (TWI), known as cardiac memory (CM), mimics
ischemic precordial TWI, and there are no established ECG criteria that adequately distinguish
between the two. On the basis of CM properties (postpacing sinus rhythm T vector approaching
the direction of the paced R vector). The CM induced by right ventricular pacing would manifest
a TWI pattern different from that of precordial ischemic TWI, thereby discriminating between
the two.
On the basis of the key attribute of CM (T-wave vector in sinus rhythm approaching the direction
of the abnormally activated QRS complex), The right ventricular endocardial pacing would
result in a precordial TWI with frontal-plane T-vector direction different from that of ischemic
precordial TWI. Although precordial TWI was originally described with proximal LAD lesions,
ischemia in the territory of the left circumflex (LCx) and occasionally right coronary artery
(RCA) can also cause precordial TWI.
T-Wave: Passage of the QRS disturbance through the ventricle is presumed to leave the ventricle
in a disturbed state both electrically and metabolically. Reconstitution of the resting electrical
state of ventricles develops while the ventricular muscle is still contracting and the dipoles
developed during the electrical reconstitution or recovery in the ventricle give rise to the T-wave.
A negative wave is sometimes seen following the P-wave and represents the recovery
disturbance or to T-wave of the atrium. The recovery disturbance is labeled Ta. Ordinarily Ta is
buried in the QRS c.

2 Case Reports of Gastric Ultrasound
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
These lecture slides, by Dr Sidra Arshad, offer a quick overview of physiological basis of a normal electrocardiogram.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

2. Q WAVE
The Q wave is the first downward
deflection after the P wave and the first
element in the QRS complex.
When the first deflection of the QRS
complex is upright, then no Q wave is
present. The normal individual will have
a small Q wave in many, but not all,
ECG leads.
3. Abnormalities of the Q waves are mostly indicative
of myocardial infarction.
The terms “Q wave myocardial infarction” and “non-
Q wave myocardial infarction” are earlier
designations of different types of MIs ultimately
resulting in, respectively, Q wave development or
the absence of Q wave development.
Loss of electromotive force associated with
myocardial necrosis contributes to R wave loss
and Q wave formation in MI.
4. This mechanism of Q wave pathogenesis, however,
is not specific for coronary artery disease with
infarction.
Any process, acute or chronic, that causes sufficient
loss of regional electromotive potential can result in
Q waves.
For example, replacement of myocardial tissue by
electrically inert material such as amyloid (abnormal
fibrous, extracellular, proteinaceous deposits found
in organs and tissues)or tumor can cause Non
infarction Q waves
5. A variety of cardiomyopathies associated with
extensive myocardial fibrosis can cause
pseudoinfarction patterns.
Ventricular hypertrophy also can contribute to the
appearance of Q waves.
Q waves simulating the ECG pattern of coronary artery
disease can be related to one (or a combination) of the
following four factors
(1)physiologic or positional variants,
(2)altered ventricular conduction,
(3)ventricular enlargement, and
(4)myocardial damage or replacement.
6. Prominent Q waves can be associated with a variety
of positional factors that alter the orientation of the
heart .
Depending on the electrical axis, prominent Q waves (as
part of QS- or QR-type complexes) can appear in the limb
leads (aVL with a vertical axis and III and aVF with a
horizontal axis).
The axis of the ECG is the major direction of the overall
electrical activity of the heart. It can be normal, leftward
(left axis deviation, or LAD), rightward (right axis deviation,
or RAD) or indeterminate (northwest axis).
7. An intrinsic change in the sequence of
ventricular depolarization can lead to pathologic,
noninfarct Q waves.
The two most important conduction
disturbances associated with pseudoinfarction Q
waves are LBBB and the Wolff-Parkinson-White
(WPW) preexcitation patterns.
Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome in which an extra
electrical pathway in the heart causes a rapid heartbeat.
