Modeling Disease Pathways Through Ventricular Depolarization
Guest: Peter van Dam, PhD
Host: Anthony H. Kashou, MD
Detection of disease progression is hampered due to the large variation in normal QRS morphologies, even for the ECG expert. Cardiac modeling techniques can improve the interpretation and diagnostic value of the ECG by visualizing relevant QRS deviations. Comparing the QRS waveforms and electrical pathway in genetical patients to normal controls shows that even small changes in the QRS can be detected in patients with a genetical disease, like Brugada or ACM.
Topics Discussed:
- What is the PathECG?
- How do you compare PathECG to normal ECG waveform?
- What can the PathECG add to the ECG?
- Could PathECG improve the quality of the ECG diagnosis?

AI ECG Updates
Guest: Francisco Lopez-Jimenez, M.D., M.S.
Host: Anthony H. Kashou, M.D.
There have been many recent developments regarding AI-ECG, with some algorithms able to identify common and very relevant medical conditions like CAD and diastolic disfunction. There are major limitations implementing AI-ECG, including regulatory, technical and clinician-related. Algorithms meant to detect rare diseases, when used indiscriminately, may lead to many false positive results. The future of AI-ECG is optimizing its implementation through seamless integration in workflows, use of point of care or wearables getting ECG signals, and using multimodality AI, where AI-ECG would be just one of several signals used to detect cardiac and non-cardiac conditions, aging, and to predict cardiovascular events.
Topics Discussed:
- What is new on AI ECG these days? What new algorithms have been developed that you see may change clinical practice in the future? (although structured as 2 questions, its actually one)
- What are the major limitations using AI-ECG in clinical practice?
- What do you think is the future of AI-ECG?

Optimal Medical Therapy in Peripheral Artery Disease
Guest: Stan Henkin, M.D.
Host: Malcolm R. Bell, M.D.
Atherosclerosis of peripheral (ie, non-coronary) arteries, also known as peripheral artery disease (PAD), affects more than 8 million Americans. Unfortunately, compared to coronary artery disease (CAD), PAD is often underdiagnosed and undertreated. In this podcast, experts discuss optimal medical therapy in patients with PAD.
Topics Discussed:
- What is peripheral artery disease? What are the most common symptoms of PAD?
- You diagnose PAD. What pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic therapies do you consider?
- How do you follow-up a patient with PAD?
- When should a patient be referred to a vascular specialist?

Dyspnea After Pulmonary Embolism: Optimal Medical Therapy in Peripheral Vascular Disease
Guest: Stan Henkin, M.D.
Host: Malcolm R. Bell, M.D.
Historically, majority of clinical and research focus has been on acute management of pulmonary embolism (PE). However, long-standing functional impairment after PE is common, occurring in up to 50% of individuals with history of PE. This is termed post-PE syndrome – an underrecognized, underdiagnosed, and undertreated entity. In this podcast, experts discuss epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of post-PE syndrome.
Topics Discussed:
- What is Post-PE syndrome? How common is it?
- What is your suggested work-up of patient who presents with dyspnea after PE?
- When should a patient be referred to a tertiary/expert center?

An AI-ECG Algorithm for Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction
Guest: Jae Oh, M.D.
Host: Anthony H. Kashou, M.D.
Diastolic function assessment is crucial in diagnosing, managing, and predicting outcomes in various cardiac conditions. It provides insight into heart health, particularly in diagnosing heart failure. Shortness of breath, a common patient complaint, often indicates elevated diastolic filling pressure if linked to a cardiac condition. Echocardiography is the primary method for assessing diastolic function, but it is operator-dependent and not always available. In contrast, ECGs are standardized and widely accessible. Although subtle changes in ECGs are not easily detectable by the human eye, artificial intelligence can identify specific conditions reflected in the ECG. By training an AI model with labeled ECGs based on diastolic function determined through echocardiography, researchers achieved high accuracy in detecting diastolic dysfunction. AI-enhanced ECGs can significantly impact the identification of both asymptomatic and symptomatic cardiac conditions, potentially streamlining diagnostic strategies and reducing costs. Future developments may enable patients to monitor their heart health using simple wearable devices, enhancing the management of heart failure and other conditions.
Topics Discussed:
- Your special clinical academic interest is echocardiography. Why are you interested in ECG AI in diastolic function?
- What is diastolic function and why is it important to assess diastolic function in clinical practice?
- Why did you decide to create AI-ECG for diastolic function assessment?
- What did you find and how do you envision AI ECG for diastolic function be used in clinical practice?

Guest: Arman Arghami, M.D., M.P.H.
Guest: Mayra Guerrero, M.D.
Host: Kyle Klarich, M.D.
And the end of this podcast, the listener should understand how to identify new minimally invasive procedures to treat patients with mitral valve disease, delineate the difference between minimally invasive surgery versus percutaneous transcatheter interventions for mitral valve disease, and recognize when to refer patients for mitral valve interventions.
Topics Discussed:
- What are the minimally invasive intervention options to treat patient with mitral valve disease?
- Which are the patients who benefit from less invasive procedures?
- How and when to refer a patient for mitral valve intervention?
- If a patient had prior mitral valve surgery (repair or replacement) and has recurrent mitral valve disease, is redo mitral surgery always needed? Or can a patient with prior surgery be treated with a transcatheter mitral valve repair or replacement, avoiding the need for repeat surgery?
