Biological Age and Other AI Tools in Preventive Cardiology
August 10, 2021 11:00 - 10 minutes - 24 MBBiological Age and Other AI Tools in Preventive Cardiology Guest: Francisco Lopez-Jimenez, M.D., M.B.A. (@CVDprevention) Host: Stephen L. Kopecky, M.D. (@DrSteveKopecky) Vascular age is impacted by factors that determine the aging of the vascular system — the heart, arteries and veins. These factors might predispose people to develop heart attacks, peripheral vascular disease or strokes. Joining us today to discuss efforts to better describe and measure vascular age is Francisco Lopez-Ji...
Cardiac Involvement in COVID-19
August 03, 2021 11:00 - 10 minutes - 23.1 MBCardiac Involvement in COVID-19 Guest: Patricia A. Pellikka, M.D. (@pattypellikka) Host: Paul A. Friedman, M.D. (@drpaulfriedman) Early reports from Wuhan, China, noted that patients with underlying cardiovascular disease had a higher risk of morbidity and mortality if they contracted the COVID-19 virus. More recently, data support that patients with evidence of cardiac disease during their COVID-19 episodes also have higher rates of morbidity and mortality during hospitalization for trea...
The Patient With Family History of Early Atherosclerotic Disease: What To Do, What Not To Do
July 27, 2021 11:00 - 11 minutes - 26.3 MBThe Patient with Early Atherosclerotic Disease-What to Do, What Not to Do Guest: Francisco Lopez-Jimenez, M.D., M.B.A. (@CVDprevention) Host: Stephen L. Kopecky, M.D. (@DrSteveKopecky) Many people have a family history of atherosclerotic disease — heart attacks, strokes or blockages in the body's arteries caused by cholesterol plaques. If atherosclerosis occurs at an early age or affects multiple family members, or if the family history includes sudden death, there is cause for concern. ...
Is Red Meat Bad For Your Heart?
July 20, 2021 11:00 - 11 minutes - 26.1 MBIs red meat bad for your heart? Guest: Stephen L. Kopecky, M.D. (@DrSteveKopecky) Host: Francisco Lopez-Jimenez, M.D., M.B.A. (@CVDprevention) The U.S. has some of the highest red meat consumption per capita of any country in the world. A controversial 2019 Annals of Internal Medicine article encouraged red meat consumption and came to the conclusion that people do not need to reduce red meat intake, but the recommendation isn't as straightforward as it seems. Joining us today to discuss...
Pregnancy-Related and Other Women Specific Cardiovascular Risk Factors
July 13, 2021 11:00 - 10 minutes - 24.5 MBPregnancy-Related and Other Women Specific Cardiovascular Risk Factors Guest: Rekha Mankad, M.D. (@RMankadMD) Host: Stephen L. Kopecky, M.D. (@DrSteveKopecky) Data supports that women's risk of heart disease has been underrecognized — women are dying of heart disease at increasingly higher rates. Women have the same regular risk factors as men, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and smoking, but there are some additional female-specific risk factors. Joining us tod...
Atrial Fibrillation and Underestimation of Aortic Stenosis Severity
July 06, 2021 11:00 - 17 minutes - 41.2 MBAtrial Fibrillation and Underestimation of Aortic Stenosis Severity Guest: Vuyisile T. Nkomo, M.D., M.P.H. Host: Malcolm R. Bell, M.D. Aortic valve stenosis is common in the general population. Echocardiography is the primary tool used for assessing the severity of the disease. In patients with atrial fibrillation, however, Doppler echocardiography may underestimate the severity of aortic valve stenosis, resulting in the potential for grave consequences. Joining us today to discuss optim...
Cardiac Sarcoidosis - Who To Suspect and How to Diagnose
June 29, 2021 11:00 - 18 minutes - 16.6 MBCardiac sarcoidosis — When to Suspect and How to Diagnose Guest: Omar F. Abou Ezzeddine, M.D., C.M., M.S. (@abouezzeddine) Host: Paul A. Friedman, M.D. (@DrPaulFriedman) Cardiac sarcoidosis is difficult to diagnose. It may present with no symptoms and a coincidental ECG finding or with symptoms that are common to most people, such as fatigue and occasional palpitations. Patients may present with minimal clinical cardiac symptoms. Multimodality imaging, in conjunction with clinical history...
The Future of Cardiac Rehabilitation
June 22, 2021 11:00 - 9 minutes - 21.2 MBThe Future of Cardiac Rehabilitation Guest: Randal J. Thomas, M.D. (@DrRandalThomas) Host: Stephen L. Kopecky, M.D. (@DrSteveKopecky) Cardiac rehabilitation is a Class 1 recommendation for a number of cardiovascular conditions. The benefits are many — and evidence is mounting that supports improved short- and long-term outcomes for patients, whether they participate in center-based or home-based cardiac rehabilitation programs. Joining us today to discuss the current benefits and challen...
Papillary Fibroelastoma (PFE) 101
June 01, 2021 11:00 - 12 minutes - 28 MBPapillary Fibroelastoma (PFE) Guest: Kyle W. Klarich, M.D. (@KyleWKlarich) Host: Paul A. Friedman, M.D. (@drpaulfriedman) Papillary fibroelastomas (PFEs) are the most common benign neoplasms of the cardiac valvular structures. Although rare and often hard to diagnose accurately, PFEs are being recognized more frequently via high-resolution imaging technology — and by ruling out other possible conditions that can mimic them. Joining us today to discuss papillary fibroelastomas is Kyle W. ...
What is New Managing Lipids?
May 24, 2021 11:00 - 13 minutes - 30.7 MBRecent Developments in the Field of Lipid Management Guest: Stephen L. Kopecky, M.D. (@DrSteveKopecky) Host: Thomas G. Allison, Ph.D., M.P.H. (@DrTAllison) Statins and lifestyle changes are still the first line choices for the management of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol to reduce the risk of heart disease. Recent developments in the field of lipid management, however, provide promising treatment options for patients who are statin intolerant or simply not achieving their LDL g...
Myocardial Blood Flow as Assessed with PET Scanning in the Assessment of Patients with Chest Pain
May 24, 2021 11:00 - 19 minutes - 43.6 MBMyocardial Blood Flow Assessed With PET Scanning in the Evaluation of Patients With Chest Pain Guest: John P. Bois, M.D. Host: Malcolm R. Bell, M.D. What is typically seen in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging is qualitative: Before and after pictures of patients at rest and under stress that are used to identify any kind of relative profusion defects. Quantitative PET takes this technique a step further, quantifying blood flow to the heart tissue in milliliters per minute per gr...
The Role of Genetic Testing in Cardiovascular Disease
May 24, 2021 11:00 - 13 minutes - 31.2 MBGenetic Testing in Cardiovascular Disease Guest: Iftikhar J. Kullo, M.D. (@iftikhar_kullo) Host: Stephen L. Kopecky, M.D. (@DrSteveKopecky) The Framingham risk score and other calculator models have been used to assess patients' risk of cardiovascular disease for more than 60 years. The models help to identify patients as having low risk, intermediate risk or high risk — but unless patients are assessed on the day they have a cardiovascular event, they may not be flagged as having high ri...
