Genomics in Inflammatory Cardiomyopathies
Guest: Naveen L. Pereira, M.D.
Hosts: Kyle W. Klarich, M.D
Patients with heart failure and ventricular arrhythmias can have inflammatory heart disease such as myocarditis or sarcoidosis. The diagnosis is typically made by imaging studies including cardiac MRI and PET scans. However, it is critical to performed genetic testing in such patients given that genetic cardiomyopathy can often present as an inflammatory heart disease phenotype which may have important prognostic and therapeutic implications.
Topics Discussed:
- How do inflammatory cardiomyopathies typically present? When do you suspect inflammation as a cause of cardiomyopathy?
- How is the diagnosis typically made and is there a role for endomyocardial biopsy?
- Why is genetic testing important once a diagnosis of an inflammatory cardiomyopathy is made?If the genetic test is positive in these patients what the clinical implications?

![Understanding ECG Waveforms: Normal vs. Abnormal](https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/ep-logo/pbblog11689381/EKG_Segment_Podcast_Image_c93skz_300x300.jpg)

Understanding ECG Waveforms: Normal vs. Abnormal
Guest: Dr. Peter van Dam
Host: Anthony H. Kashou, M.D.
The ECG interpretation is majorly driven by event detection, i.e. QRS onset and end, QT time, P wave etc. From these we can determine the normal heart rhythm, and some performance measures, like heart rate etc. The ECG waveforms, however, are much less understood. This is a pity, as ECG waveforms, provide instantaneous information on the electrophysiological and structural function of the heart. In this respect it is interesting to know if there is something like a normal ECG waveform or normal PathECG (CineECG). This latter technique is a vector-based method to estimate the electrical position of a moving vector within the heart. Similar normal distributions can be created to compare to the normal ECGs.
- How can we define a normal ECG waveform? (ECGs from healthy normal people for different age groups, I used about 6000 normal ECGs, correction for heart rate by resampling to standard QT time (400 ms for instance, these ECGs can be used to create a distribution of amplitudes and derived signals (CineECG) to compare an ECG too)
- What is needed for an accurate waveform comparison? (Good baseline correction, not filtering, but baseline correction) What is the onset and end of the P-wave, QRS and T wave?)
- Are normal ECGs waveforms different from abnormal ECG waveforms? (Of course they overlap, describe left bundle branch block, or ischemia, with long QRS or deviating ST segment )
- Did you use this method to classify ECGs as normal or abnormal? (results from our study (manuscript in preparation) that any QRST sequence in an ECG can be classified as abnormal with an accuracy (AUC) of more than 81%. In our study population 15% of the patients had only atrial related abnormal ECGS)

Contemporary research and evolving definitions can facilitate the recognition of subtle manifestations of cardiogenic shock with the goal of improving patient outcomes.
Topics Discussed:
- What are the common manifestations of cardiogenic shock that can enable early recognition?
- Can patients meet criteria for cardiogenic shock even if they are normotensive?
- How have research efforts at Mayo Clinic contributed to understanding the recognition of cardiogenic shock?

ECMO - Extracorporeal Membranous Oxygenation
Guest: Philip J. Spencer, M.D.
Hosts: Malcolm Bell, M.D.
Extracorporeal Membranous Oxygenation is a mechanical life support used for severe heart, lung or heart and lung failure. Over the last decade it has grown massively in use to help us support our most ill patients to destination therapy or recovery.
Topics Discussed:
- Can you describe some of the history of ECMO to explain how we got to present day use?
- Please describe some key differences in venoarterial and venovenous ECMO? What makes them different from a technical standpoint and how are they used differently for our patients?
- There has been some controversy recently as to the use of ECMO and survival. Can you describe where this controversy is coming from and how we think ECMO can really make a difference in survival for patients?
