Dear Colleagues,
This week on Cyberounds, we have a frontlines' look at an experimental
laser technique and an unusual case of syncope which initially stumped the
clinicians.
Sorry for any cross-postings.
Cardiovascular Medicine
What can you offer anginal patients for whom bypass surgery is not an
option? Drs. Ron Kornowski and Martin Leon bring us up to speed on an
investigational technique -- transcatheter laser myocardial
revascularization -- that may bring relief to patients with refractory
angina. One Category I AMA credit.

Geriatrics
An 83-year-old woman with a past history of pruritus and flushing has a
syncopal episode. On physical exam, the only finding is dermatographia.
At first, the attending physicians were stumped. Do you know the diagnosis?
See if you were right and learn more from Dr. John Morley, Dammert
Professor of Gerontology at St. Louis University School of Medicine, in "An
Unusual Cause of Syncope." One Category I AMA credit.
