WCW legend Eric Bischoff shows off incredible body transformation aged 70 after announcing extreme diet
WCW legend Eric Bischoff left pro wrestling fans in awe after revealing his ripped physique at the age of 70. Bischoff is one of wrestling's greatest legends who revolutionised the sport back in the 1990s as he almost put rivals WWE out of business. 2 2 The American promoter led WCW to a golden era that saw them beating Vince McMahon 's conglomerate on TV ratings for a whopping 83 weeks. The Hall of Famer was mostly a backstage figure, even though he did compete in the ring a few times as WCW President with Ted Turner's promotion and RAW General Manager during his WWE stint in the early 2000s. However, Bischoff was always athletic as he has a background in martial arts, having obtained a karate black belt. But the wrestling figure has never been more fit until his 70th birthday. Bischoff revealed he finally started to commit to a gym routine six month ago, 11 years after obtaining a membership. And the popular wrestling figure added he adopted the carnivore diet, which only allows consumption of meat, poultry, eggs, seafood, fish, some dairy products and water. The ex-RAW GM also teamed up with fellow Hall of Famer and WCW legend Diamond Dallas Page, who has helped other wrestling legends regain peak fitness levels with his famous DDPY programme. And it was during one of DDP's fitness clips that his former boss posed topless to reveal his awesome transformation. Bischoff later said: "I started lifting seriously about six months ago. So I've had a gym membership for like 11 years and I never went in. "Now I'm in there five days, six days a week for 90 minutes at a stretch. "Usually 70 to 90 minutes depending on what I'm doing. I'm addicted now, I can't not go to the gym. 'The hardest part for me was getting my fat ass into the gym. Once I got into the rhythm I enjoyed it. "I went about it very pragmatically, very slowly. I really watched my form, read a lot, watched a lot of videos – making sure I was doing things right. "And I didn't really start kicking up my weights until about three months ago.'

ECG Challenge: Palpitation Episodes in a COPD Patient
A 70-year-old man presents with a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbation. He reports shortness of breath and palpitations. He has no known heart disease but has experienced palpitations in the past that were short-lived and did not require therapy. Figure 1. Courtesy of Philip J. Podrid, MD. The correct diagnosis is atrial fibrillation with Ashman's phenomenon (Figure 2). Figure 2. Courtesy of Philip J. Podrid, MD. Discussion The rhythm is irregularly irregular, with no organized P waves. The average rate is 174 beats/min. The QRS complex duration (0.08 sec) and morphology are normal. There are only three supraventricular rhythms that are irregularly irregular: Sinus arrhythmia (one P wave morphology and stable PR interval) Multifocal atrial rhythm (also called wandering atrial pacemaker) with a rate < 100 beats/min and multifocal atrial tachycardia with a rate > 100 beats/min (≥ 3 different P wave morphologies and PR intervals without any predominant P wave morphology) Atrial fibrillation in which there are no organized P waves Therefore, this is atrial fibrillation. Noted are several QRS complexes that have an increased duration (0.12 sec) with a right bundle branch block (RBBB) morphology with an RSR' morphology in lead V1 (←) and a broad terminal S wave in lead V5 (→). These complexes are not runs of NSVT, because they have a typical RBBB morphology and their intervals are also irregular. They are not the result of rate-related aberration, because there are other RR intervals as short or even shorter than these aberrated QRS complexes that are not associated with aberration. However, preceding the aberrated complexes is a long (┌┐)-short RR interval (└┘). This is the Ashman's phenomenon which is not caused by an abnormality in His-Purkinje conduction but rather by normal rate-related changes in His-Purkinje refractoriness or time for repolarization. When the heart rate is slow (long RR interval), His-Purkinje refractoriness or time for repolarization prolongs whereas when the heart rate is fast (short RR interval), His-Purkinje refractoriness or time for repolarization shortens. This change in refractoriness or repolarization with heart rate is what causes the QT interval to change with heart rate, ie the QT interval is shorter at a faster heart rate and longer with a slower heart rate. When there is an abrupt change in heart rate from slow (long RR interval) to fast (short RR interval), His-Purkinje refractoriness does not adapt or change immediately and hence one or several QRS complexes are conducted with aberration. Most commonly the aberration is an RBBB, likely because the refractoriness of the right bundle is slightly longer than that of the left bundle.
