TRIO Score and Choosing Patients Most Likely to Benefit From Tricuspid Valve Intervention
Guest: Sorin V. Pislaru, M.D., Ph.D.
Hosts: Sharonne N. Hayes, M.D.
Tricuspid Regurgitation (TR) is an extraordinarily heterogeneous, highly prevalent valvular heart disease. Given the tremendous variability, individualizing risk in patients with TR to guide appropriate therapy will be explored. Other topics discussed will be the use of TRIO scores, GDMT as a first line in therapy, as well as when to consider surgery or percutaneous interventions.
Topics Discussed:
- Is TR a relevant valvular heart disease?
- Why the need for a risk score?
- So what is the TRIO score
- What else did you learn from the score?
- The future?

How to Integrate NON-Statin Therapy in Your Practice. Updates from the Latest 2022 LDL-Cholesterol Lowering Guidelines
Guest: Regis I. Fernandes, M.D.
Hosts: Sharonne N. Hayes, M.D.
Since the last ACC/AHA cholesterol guidelines in 2018, the FDA has approved new non-statin cholesterol medications, which have increased our ability to provide a broader range of lipid-lowering drugs. In this podcast, we will discuss the new 2022 ACC expert consensus decision pathway on the role of non-statin therapies for LDL lowering in managing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk. We will review these new drugs and discuss which ones to consider, when, and in what order.
Topics Discussed:
-
What are these new FDA-approved nonstatin drugs for lipid-lowering?
-
To whom and when non-statins should be considered?
-
Are there new LDL targets or thresholds for certain patients?
- What are the new guideline recommendations for patients with statin intolerance?

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?

The Role of Multimodality Imaging for Pericarditis
Guest: Prajwal (Praj) Reddy, MD
Hosts: Malcolm R. Bell, M.D.
Imaging can play a crucial role in diagnosis and management of pericarditis, particularly if recurrent. Echocardiography, cardiac computed tomography (CCT), and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) offer complimentary evaluation of pericardial disease in its various presentations. In this podcast, we review the characteristic signs and features on multi-modality imaging in patients with acute and recurrent pericardial inflammation and its utility in tailoring therapy.
Topics Discussed:
-
What is the role of imaging in the initial diagnosis of pericarditis?
-
How is multi-modality cardiac imaging utilized in recurrent pericarditis?
- Follow up question to the above: Is serial imaging with cardiac MRI helpful in treatment of recurrent pericarditis?
