Hosts: Sharonne N. Hayes, M.D.

In this podcast, we will describe more frequent cardiotoxic effects associated with cancer therapies. Identify imaging modalities that can be used to detect and evaluate cardiotoxicity and common adverse cardiac events associated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. As well review currently available treatment options to address cardiovascular toxicity.

Topics Discussed:

What are the main chemotherapy agents that cause cardiotoxicity?What testing can be done to screen for and diagnose cardiotoxicity, and when should it be done?
What can be done to address cardio-toxicity when it arises? What treatments are available, and how can we minimize interruptions to cancer therapy?
Immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy has revolutionized the care of some cancers, what cardiac toxicities are there and what have we learned about them from study of our patients?
How does radiation therapy affect the heart, and what can be done to minimize this?

3D Visualization of the Heart in Immersive Technology Like Mixed Reality

3D Visualization of the Heart in Immersive Technology Like Mixed Reality

Guest: Dr. Klaudia Proniewska

Host: Anthony H. Kashou, M.D.

The most commonly applied way of teaching students the foundations of human anatomy and physiology involves textbooks and lectures. This method of transmitting knowledge causes difficulties for students, especially in the context of three-dimensional imaging of organ structures, and as a consequence, translates into difficulties with imagining them. Even with the rapid uptake of knowledge dissemination provided by online materials, including courses and webinars, there is a clear need for learning programs featuring first-hand immersive experiences tailored to individual study paces. In my research, I present an approach to enhance a classical study program by combining multi-modality data and representing them in a Mixed Reality (MR)-based environment. The advantages of the proposed approach have been proven by the conducted investigation of the relationship between heart anatomy, its electrophysiological characteristics, and resulting wave morphology on the electrocardiogram (ECG). Another part of the research focuses on the role of the anatomy of the heart, e.g., the sinoatrial node, in ECG formation, while the MR-based visualization of combined imaging data with non-invasive CineECG (by Peter van Dam) imaging demonstrates the educational application of these advanced technologies for teaching cardiac anatomy and ECG correlations.

Topics Discussed

Can you explain why three-dimensional structures are important to teach electrophysiology of the heart?
How does the electrocardiogram (ECG) relate to heart anatomy, and why is this relationship fundamental in understanding cardiac electrophysiology? Give an example.
Have you implemented any innovative teaching methods or technologies to enhance the learning experience in cardiac anatomy and electrophysiology? If so, can you describe their impact?
In your experience, what are the most effective ways to convey complex 3D structures and dynamic processes in cardiac anatomy and electrophysiology to students or professionals?

Marfan Surgery

Marfan Surgery

Guest: Alberto Pochettino, M.D.

Hosts: Paul A. Friedman, M.D.

Marfan syndrome is a genetic abnormality where the fibrillin protein is abnormal. That affects all collagen structures within a given individual. Phenotypic features involve ocular abnormalities such as lens dislocation and a higher risk of retinal detachment, as well as diffuse musculoskeletal abnormalities such as scoliosis, joints abnormalities, and the diffuse hyper extension of all joints. By far the most life-threatening feature in Marfan syndrome is aortic abnormality.

Topics Discussed:

Which patients with Marfan syndrome should be evaluated for aortic disease?
Do all Marfan patients develop aortic aneurysm?
What other cardiovascular abnormalities are noted in Marfan syndrome?
What preventive operations are available, and what are the expected outcomes from such operations?
If a Marfan patient develops a type B dissection what is the appropriate management?
