How Can Genetics Help in the Management of Heart Failure? Guest: Naveen L. Pereira, M.D. Hosts: Paul A. Friedman, M.D. Cardiomyopathy is an important cause of heart failure and can be inherited or have a genetic basis. Identifying a genetic cause for cardiomyopathy not only provides a molecular diagnosis of the disease but holds significant importance in screening family members enabling early identification of disease, providing prognostic information to the patient and increasingly offers the opportunity for therapy that is genetic based. Understanding the genetics of cardiomyopathy also helps identify new pathophysiologic mechanisms of disease that may help in the development of new therapeutic targets.   Topics Discussed: Genetic Testing as a tool to determine inherited cardiomyopathy The yield of genetic testing for cardiomyopathy What results can be expected after genetic testing is performed? Can genetics provide new insight into the pathophysiology of disease, specifically cardiomyopathies?

Reop Sternotomy - How Many is too Many? Guest: Joseph A. Dearani, M.D. and Elizabeth H. Stephens, M.D., Ph.D. Hosts: Patricia A. Pellikka, M.D. Reoperations are inevitable for many structural heart lesions, and in some cases, it may be multiple reoperations over a lifetime. Current techniques in perioperative imaging and contemporary surgical techniques make cardiac reoperations safe in most circumstances. Lifelong surveillance with a heart team approach of both cardiology and cardiac surgery is the optimal strategy to determine the proper timing of reoperation to achieve a good outcome.   Topics Discussed: How many reoperations can a patient have? What are the most common reasons for the need for reoperation? Is it true that the risk of reoperation is often the same as a first-time operation? What matters most with patient selection for reoperation? Can a minimally invasive approach be applied at a reoperation? Is the length of hospital stay and postoperative recovery different with reoperation? Do all surgeons do cardiac reoperations?   Connect with Mayo Clinic's Cardiovascular Continuing Medical Education online at https://cveducation.mayo.edu or on Twitter @MayoClinicCV and @MayoCVservices.

Ross Procedure (from baby to adult) Guest: Joseph A. Dearani, M.D. Hosts: Paul A. Friedman, M.D. The Ross procedure involves placement of the patient’s pulmonary valve in the aortic position and replacement of the pulmonary valve with a pulmonary homograft.  The Ross procedure has been the operation of choice for aortic valve disease in children. There is increasing evidence in the literature now that it is also becoming the operation of choice in young and middle-aged adults where numerous reports document a clear survival advantage.  The procedure is performed by selected congenital or adult cardiac surgeons with an interest in the procedure.  In an otherwise healthy adult, 50 years of age or less, without co-morbidities or with an interest in physical activity, the Ross procedure should be strongly considered. Adult cardiologists should be aware of these well-documented advantages in the current TAVR era.   Topics Discussed: Brief explanation of the operation Main advantages of the Ross procedure The place of the Ross operation in the era of TAVR Connect with Mayo Clinic's Cardiovascular Continuing Medical Education online at https://cveducation.mayo.edu or on Twitter @MayoClinicCV and @MayoCVservices.

Common Errors in ECG Interpretation – that can Easily Be Corrected Guest: Dr. Ken Grauer Host: Anthony H. Kashou, M.D.    In this episode, we discuss common errors in ECG interpretation amongst even experienced clinicians make — and how many of these errors can be avoided and/or corrected with a few simple steps. The application of the following lessons will help to optimize the accuracy and time-efficiency of your interpretations: (i) paying closer attention to specific aspects of the history that are often ignored; (ii) interpreting both arrhythmias and 12-lead ECGs with a systematic approach; and, (iii) correlating relevant history with the tracing in front of you.   Topics Discussed How does a family physician get so good in ECG interpretation? What is your experience in teaching ECG interpretation? Why did you choose the topic, “Common Errors in ECG Interpretation — that Can Easily be Corrected!” for this podcast? What do you intend to cover in our next podcast on ECG Errors that Lead To Missing Acute Coronary Occlusion? Why did you put among the most important errors to correct — interpreting ECGs without including a brief, relevant History in your assessment — and failure to routinely use a Systematic Approach in your interpretation?

Implications of Obesity in Heart Failure Guest: Adrian daSilva-deAbreu, M.D., Ph.D.(c), M.Sc. Hosts: Paul A. Friedman, M.D.Obesity and heart failure are two common pandemics with significant overlap. Obesity is known to be a risk factor for multiple cardiovascular diseases, including heart failure, especially for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. According to the Framingham Heart Study, the risk of heart failure increases by 5% and 7% for every 1-point BMI increase in men and women, respectively. Among patients with heart failure, is obesity associated with worse prognosis? Do patients with heart failure also benefit from weight loss? Does obesity warrant special considerations when managing patients with heart failure? These, and other questions will be answered by our guest, Adrian da Silva de Abreu, M.D., M.Sc., Ph.D.(c), an advanced heart failure, LVAD, and transplant cardiologist from Mayo Clinic in Rochester.Topics Discussed:       Connect with Mayo Clinic's Cardiovascular Continuing Medical Education online at https://cveducation.mayo.edu or on Twitter @MayoClinicCV and @MayoCVservices.

STEMI/NSTEMI and OMI/NOMI Paradigms Guest: Stephen W. Smith, M.D. Host: Anthony H. Kashou, M.D. Early detection of acute myocardial infarction (MI) can impact patients' immediate care and long-term outcomes. Most trained physicians can detect common ST-elevation MI (STEMI) patterns on ECG. However, a subset of patients does not present with common STEMI patterns. There are ECG patterns that can be identified to improve patient outcomes but are not yet widely known or accepted in current guidelines. Joining us today to discuss the STEMI versus non-STEMI (NSTEMI) and occlusion MI (OMI) versus nonocclusion MI (NOMI) paradigms is Stephen W. Smith, M.D., Emergency Medicine, Hennepin Healthcare, in Minneapolis. Specific topics discussed: The problem with the STEMI versus NSTEMI dichotomy Subgroup within the NSTEMI cohort that may benefit from emergent reperfusion therapy ECG findings to watch for — beyond, standard STEMI findings — that indicate an occluded artery Access to Dr. Smith's evaluation formula Patterns to watch for in diagnosis of OMI Benign mimickers Key takeaways for the novice interpreter Other clinical factors to watch for that may indicate OMI Recommendations for emergency medicine providers Connect with Mayo Clinic's Cardiovascular Continuing Medical Education online at https://cveducation.mayo.edu or on Twitter @MayoClinicCV.
