Advances in Understanding Bicuspid Aortic Valve

Guest: Hector I. Michelena, M.D.

Hosts: Patricia A. Pellikka, M.D.

The congenital bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital heart defect, affecting 1% of the population (2% in men and 0.5% women), with men to women ratio of 2:1 to 3:1, and it is characterized by heterogeneity of phenotypic expression and outcomes.

Topics Discussed:

What is bicuspid aortic valve and why is it important?
What is meant by saying that it is a heterogeneous disease?
What is the natural history of the disease?
What are the differences between BAV AS and TAV AS? What about BAV AR and TAV AR?
Are there sex differences in BAV disease?

How Can Genetics Help in the Management of Heart Failure?

Tuesday Apr 30, 2024

How Can Genetics Help in the Management of Heart Failure?

Guest: Naveen L. Pereira, M.D.

Hosts: Paul A. Friedman, M.D.

Cardiomyopathy is an important cause of heart failure and can be inherited or have a genetic basis. Identifying a genetic cause for cardiomyopathy not only provides a molecular diagnosis of the disease but holds significant importance in screening family members enabling early identification of disease, providing prognostic information to the patient and increasingly offers the opportunity for therapy that is genetic based. Understanding the genetics of cardiomyopathy also helps identify new pathophysiologic mechanisms of disease that may help in the development of new therapeutic targets.

Topics Discussed:

Genetic Testing as a tool to determine inherited cardiomyopathy
The yield of genetic testing for cardiomyopathy
What results can be expected after genetic testing is performed?
Can genetics provide new insight into the pathophysiology of disease, specifically cardiomyopathies?

TRIO Score and Choosing Patients Most Likely to Benefit From Tricuspid Valve Intervention

Tuesday Apr 23, 2024

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?

Deep-Learning Models for the Prognostication and Localization of Premature Ventricular Contractions Using a 12-Lead Electrocardiogram

Guest: Guru G. Kowlgi, M.B.B.S.

Host: Anthony H. Kashou, M.D.

In this episode, learners will understand what premature ventricular contractions are. They will learn to differentiate benign rom malignant PVCs, and understand which patients are at risk for PVC-cardiomyopathy. Furthermore, they will gain knowledge about the traditional and novel tools for risk-stratifying patients with PVCs, and how we manage these patients.

Topics Discussed

What are PVCs and what are their clinical implications?
When should we be concerned about a patient with PVCs?
What are some of the tools we have to detect and localize high risk PVCs? How does AI help in this regard?
What are the available treatment modalities for managing PVCs?

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?

Topics Discussed:

How has treatment of aortic stenosis changed in the last 10 years?
What are some of the challenging decisions physicians and patients make when deciding about treatment of aortic stenosis?

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?
