Personal Health – High Functioning, but Still Alcoholics – NYTimes.com

Knowing the Signs

In the interview, Ms. Benton listed several characteristics that can help people recognize themselves as high-functioning alcoholics:

¶They have trouble controlling their intake even after deciding that they will drink no more alcohol than a given amount.

¶They find themselves thinking obsessively about drinking — when and where and with whom they will drink next.

¶When they drink, they behave in ways that are uncharacteristic of their sober self.

¶They experience blackouts, unable to remember what took place during a drinking bout.

In PCI for STEMI VT/VF Increases Mortality Risk at 90 Days

Incidence of and Outcomes Associated With Ventricular Tachycardia or Fibrillation in Patients Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

The results of this study and others indicate that VT/VF is a strong independent predictor of death at 90 days. Whether early treatment with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator improves outcomes in these patients is unclear and requires further study.
