Type 2 Myocardial Infarction (T2MI) is an increasingly recognized clinical entity due to the availability of highly sensitive troponin assays for patients admitted due to common medical diagnoses. However, there is little epidemiological data on the significance and long-term prognosis of T2MI, which occurs secondary to an increase in myocardial oxygen demand and/or a decrease in myocardial blood flow. Arrhythmia, hypoxia, and sepsis are the major etiologies for T2MI. Therefore, sepsis was the identified area of interest for the study giving how common it is in a community hospital. We studied the cardiac workup of patients with elevated troponin in …

While mow-lawning remains relatively uncommon in the United States, adoption of this practice by those healthy enough to engage in the level of exercise required can deliver a number of benefits that improve environmental, safety, and personal goals simultaneously. The stacking of so many benefits in one practice deserves more attention and promotion.
