Computerized Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Detection
Guest: Bob Farrell, Ph.D.
Hosts: Anthony H. Kashou, M.D. (@anthonykashoumd)
When the heart in the human body's source to pump blood has decreased, it is referred to as the left ventricle. Furthermore, the hypertrophy or the heart's wall eventually loses its firmness, which leads to a higher risk of hypertension or high blood pressure. Often, the heart tends to lose its ability to pump blood. In addition, some signs to stay aware of are feeling fatigued, dizziness, fainting, and frequent chest pain. Patients affected by Left Ventricular Hypertrophy are more at risk of becoming diagnosed if they experience decreased or increased heart rhythm signals or congestive heart failure. Therefore, when the doctor recommends testing, an Electrocardiogram is used to record signals to test the heart rhythm and abnormalities. In addition, an MRI or Echocardiogram is used to test Computerized Left Ventricular Hypertrophy as well.
Joining us today to discuss Computerized Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Detection is Bob Farrell, Ph.D., Principle Engineer in Diagnostic Cardiology at GE Healthcare in Milwaukee, WI. Furthermore, Dr. Farrell is currently a member of the board of directors of the International Society of Computerized Electrocardiology.
Specific topics discussed:
- With other modalities available to clinicians (e.g., echo, cardiac MR), is ECG still relevant in the discussion of LVH?
- You have recently made some updates in the GE “12SL” program related to LVH. What drove the changes that you made?
- Customer feedback, opaqueness of the criteria, ACC/AHA recommendations to manufacturers
- So what were the changes you made?
- How did you pick which of the many criteria out there to use and how important was it to explicitly list the positive criteria in the interpretation?
- You mentioned earlier that ECG-LVH is an entity in its own right and is associated with poorer outcomes. Can you talk about ECG-LVH and risk prediction, and how the changes you’ve made in the GE 12SL program aid in the risk prediction?

Role of 3D Imaging in Complex Structural Heart Procedures (Screening/Suitability and Guidance)
Guest: Jeremy J. Thaden, M.D. (@JeremyThaden)
Host: Kyle W. Klarich, M.D. (@KyleWKlarich)
The role of 3D imaging is used to capture images of the heart in “real-time.” Structural heart procedures are usually completed by Echocardiographers. Heart valve disease is the most common structural heart disease. In addition, an Echocardiologist should be familiar with Artificial Intelligence and how it works under 3D Images, focusing on Complex Structural Heart procedures. When doctors conduct screening, it is important to have raw images for reformatting purposes.
Joining us today to discuss the Role of 3D Imaging in Complex Structural Heart Procedures (Screening/Suitability and Guidance is Dr. Jeremy J. Thaden, M.D., Assistant Professor of Medicine in the Department of Cardiology at Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota. Dr. Jeremy Thaden is an expert imager. Furthermore, Dr. Thaden offers his assistance in guiding the Structural Heart Procedures.
Specific topics discussed:
- Broadly, what do you think 3D adds to structural echocardiographic imaging?
- Who should be doing the screening and procedural guidance for structural heart procedures?
- What is the best way to learn to do 3D echocardiography?

Surgical Planning for Bioprosthetic Implantation with a View to Future Transcatheter Valve-in-Valve Implantation
Guest: Juan A. Crestanello, M.D.
Host: Kyle W. Klarich, M.D. (@KyleWKlarich)
A Bioprosthetic Implantation is an implanted device to replace a defective heart valve. Furthermore, a Transcatheter Valve-in-Valve Implantation procedure is considered more effective for patients. In addition, a Transcatheter VIV is a redo surgery for patients who have experienced failure of Aortic Bioprosthesis. The transcatheter VIV is less harmful to the human body than Aortic Valve Replacement. Before performing a Transcatheter VIV, doctors consider measurements of the valve and implant position to prevent future complications. Knowing the size and height of the coronary arteries helps prevent the patient from being exposed to coronary obstruction.
Joining us today to discuss Surgical Planning for Bioprosthetic Implantation with a View to Future Transcatheter Valve-in-Valve Implantation is Juan A. Crestanello, M.D., chair of the department of cardiovascular medicine, cardiovascular surgery, and the professor of surgery at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
Specific topics discussed:
- How often ViV is performed compared with redo AVR?
- What are the limitation that prevent performance of ViV?
- What is the risk and who is at risk for coronary obstruction during ViV?
- What is the risk of patient prosthesis mismatch?
- What are the measures you take when performing a surgical AVR to allow for valve in valve in the future?

Emerging ECG Methods for Ischemia Detection
Guest: Salah Al-Zaiti (@al_zaiti)
Hosts: Anthony H. Kashou, M.D. (@anthonykashoumd)
The accuracy of the 12-lead ECG in detecting ischemia will be discussed, as well as the emerging approaches to enhance ECH sensitivity to acute myocardial ischemia. The use of AI for ECG interpretation and how it can help boost the diagnostic yield of the 12-lead ECG for ischemia detection will be reviewed along with the research and future opportunities and recommendations.
Joining us today to discuss Emerging ECG Methods for Ischemia Detection is Salah Al-Zaiti, M.D., Associate Professor of Nursing, Emergency Medicine in Cardiology, Vice Chair of Research, at the Dept. of Acute and Tertiary Care at the Univ. of Pittsburgh School of Nursing.
Specific topics discussed:
- The 12-lead ECG is one of the most widely used noninvasive assessments of acute myocardial ischemia in symptomatic patients, namely those with chest pain. However, the ECG remains a suboptimal tool in diagnosing ischemia in this population, requiring the use of numerous diagnostics and assessments. But how accurate exactly is the 12-lead ECG for detecting ischemia? And what are the potential pitfalls of this suboptimal diagnostic accuracy?
- Let’s go back to the basics then, what are the ECG basis of acute ischemia? In other words, what are the processes and the mechanistic links between diminished coronary blood flow at the myocardial level and potential manifestations on the surface ECG?
- In your most recent commentary paper on the topic at Journal of Electrocardiology, you discuss four emerging approaches to enhance the ECG sensitivity to acute myocardial ischemia: (1) techniques based on novel ECG signatures of ischemia beyond ST-segment and T wave amplitudes; (2) techniques that maximize the spatial coverage of the ECG; (3) techniques based on ECG imaging; and (4) techniques based on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. Using novel ECG signatures of ischemia is an intuitive approach, can you elaborate further on this?
- Let’s talk a little bit about the second group of approaches, how can we maximize the spatial coverage of the 12-lead ECG and how would this enhance the ECG sensitivity to ischemia?
- Let’s move on to the third approach, what exactly is ECG imaging and how it can be used to detect acute myocardial ischemia?
- The use of AI for ECG interpretation is growing exponentially, can you comment on how we can use AI to boost the diagnostic yield of the 12-lead ECG for ischemia detection?
- Finally, what should the research in this area focus on and what are the future opportunities and recommendations?

- Rural communities have an older population, lower income, hospitals are sparse, with less providers & services offered. How can we overcome these issues when trying to achieve secondary prevention?
- Why do rural communities have more diabetes, obesity, HTN, tobacco, inactivity, obesity among children, drug overdose death?
- Rural communities tend to be whiter than Urban communities but 54% of native Americans live in rural communities. Are there any special approaches you have for the native American group?
- Why do rural communities have worse health outcomes?
- What are the SOLUTIONS?
- It appears that it needs to be multifactorial-not only providers, pharmacist APCs, ENTs, but also payment structures for rural care, Telehealth, bricks and mortar for hospitals, and certainly more research ?
