Ross Procedure (from baby to adult)

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

Assessing Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction
Guest: Barry A. Borlaug, M.D.
Hosts: Sharonne N. Hayes, M.D.
Over half of people with heart failure have a preserved ejection fraction (ie. HFpEF), but diagnosis is challenging, and the disorder remains severely underrecognized in clinical practice, especially among women and among patients living with obesity.
Topics Discussed:
-
Tests that should be used
-
When a cardiology consultation is needed
-
The gold standard testing that can be used to make the diagnosis

ECG Errors that Lead to Missing Acute Coronary Occlusion

ECG Errors that Lead to Missing Acute Coronary Occlusion
Guest: Dr. Ken Grauer
Host: Anthony H. Kashou, M.D.
In this episode, we highlight key aspects of 12-lead ECG interpretation, as it relates to the diagnosis of acute ischemia, and especially to acute coronary occlusion. We convey the concept of occlusion myocardial infarction (OMI), emphasizing appreciation of how the STEMI paradigm misses at least 30% of acute coronary occlusions that can be picked up by using the OMI paradigm. Furthermore, we cite ECG findings that facilitate early identification of an acute OMI and applying a time-efficient technique for how to compare one ECG to another and how artificial intelligence may play a role in this space.
- Key initiatives or approaches to introduce in the ECG lab
- Strategy for integrating the ECG lab with other departments to elevate cardiac care
- Milestones and breakthroughs aimed to achieve with the ECG lab

Clinical Utility of Coronary Calcium Score. A Guide for Practitioners
Guest: Regis I. Fernandes, M.D.
Hosts: Sharonne N. Hayes, M.D.
The coronary calcium score is becoming a critical risk assessment tool to stratify global ASCVD risk better. The incidental coronary calcium score finding in noncardiac CTs also provides opportunities for risk stratification but challenges in uncharted territory. What is the ideal patient for a coronary calcium score? Who is not a perfect candidate for coronary calcium score, when should it be repeated, etc., are all essential contemporary questions in preventive Cardiology. This podcast will cover the most recent recommendations for coronary calcium scores from various societies and the most common questions from patients and providers regarding the topic.

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.
- 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?
