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?

Tricuspid Valve Repair (congenital and acquired)
Guest: Joseph A. Dearani, M.D.
Hosts: Paul A. Friedman, M.D.
Tricuspid regurgitation is being recognized with increased frequency in the current era. The etiology ranges from congenital anomalies and acquired diseases. The most common causes are typically functional tricuspid regurgitation secondary to left-sided heart disease, atrial fibrillation with right heart dilatation, and pacemaker/ICD lead-induced.
Topics Discussed:
-
Most common causes of tricuspid regurgitation (acquired and congenital)
-
Is the risk of tricuspid valve surgery high?
- Which is more common: isolated tricuspid valve surgery vs concomitant tricuspid valve surgery?
- Are there minimally invasive approaches to tricuspid valve operation?
- Do all surgeons perform tricuspid valve repair?
- What are the most common concomitant procedures with tricuspid valve surgery? (maze, LA appendage closure, etc.)
- Is pulmonary hypertension a contraindication to tricuspid valve surgery?

Topics Discussed:
-
The traditional approach to treatment of HFpEF
-

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

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
