    What is BMI?

    Body Mass Index (BMI) is a screening measurement that estimates body weight relative to height. It is calculated by dividing weight in kilograms by the square of height in meters.

    BMI = Weight (kg) ÷ Height (m)²

    Medical Disclaimer: BMI is a screening tool and not a diagnostic test. It does not directly measure body fat or distinguish muscle from fat. Interpretation may differ in pregnancy, children, older adults and certain ethnic populations. Consult a healthcare professional for individual assessment.

    Acute Treatment of Hyperkalemia

    Acute Treatment of Hyperkalemia – A Practical, Bedside-Oriented Guide Hyperkalemia is a potentially life-threatening electrolyte abnormality that demands prompt recognition and decisive management. The danger lies not only in the absolute potassium value but in its effects on cardiac conduction, which can rapidly progress to fatal arrhythmias. Acute treatment focuses on three parallel goals: stabilizing the cardiac membrane, shifting potassium into cells, and removing excess potassium from the body. Understanding this stepwise approach helps clinicians act quickly and rationally in emergency settings. Why Hyperkalemia Is Dangerous Potassium plays a key role in maintaining the resting membrane potential of cardiac myocytes. Elevated serum potassium reduces the transmembrane gradient, leading to slowed conduction, ECG changes, ventricular arrhythmias, and asystole. Importantly, ECG changes do not always correlate with potassium levels, so treatment decisions should be based on clinical c...

However, this rule might be somewhat later than currently used in a real-world practical setting.

    2025 ESC Guidelines on INR Targets in Mechanical Valves

      2025 ESC Guidelines on INR Targets in Mechanical Valves INR Targets in Patients With Mechanical Heart Valves Updated, guideline-oriented review Mechanical heart valves are inherently thrombogenic and require lifelong anticoagulation. Vitamin K antagonists, particularly warfarin, remain the standard therapy. The international normalized ratio (INR) is used to guide anticoagulation intensity and must be individualized based on valve type, valve position, and patient-related thromboembolic risk factors. Subtherapeutic INR increases the risk of valve thrombosis and systemic embolism, whereas excessive anticoagulation increases bleeding risk. Why INR control is critical Mechanical valves promote thrombosis due to non-physiological blood flow, high shear stress, and continuous contact between blood and artificial surfaces. These prothrombotic mechanisms persist for life. Direct oral anticoagulants are contraindicated in mechanical valves; therefore, VKAs remain mandatory. The goal of I...
