ECG Errors that Lead to Missing Acute Coronary Occlusion

Tuesday Jan 16, 2024

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.

Topics Discussed

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

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.

Topics Discussed:

For whom is coronary calcium not recommended, and for whom does it benefit the most?
Should we always recommend statins for patients with a positive coronary calcium score?
Can statins decrease coronary calcium?
When is it appropriate to repeat the coronary calcium score?
Is the coronary calcium score helpful in younger or older individuals?

Common Errors in ECG Interpretation – that can Easily Be Corrected

Tuesday Dec 19, 2023

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.

Topics Discussed

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?

Implications of Obesity in Heart Failure

Guest: Adrian daSilva-deAbreu, M.D., Ph.D.(c), M.Sc.

Hosts: Paul A. Friedman, M.D.

Obesity and heart failure are two common pandemics with significant overlap. Obesity is known to be a risk factor for multiple cardiovascular diseases, including heart failure, especially for heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. According to the Framingham Heart Study, the risk of heart failure increases by 5% and 7% for every 1-point BMI increase in men and women, respectively. Among patients with heart failure, is obesity associated with worse prognosis? Do patients with heart failure also benefit from weight loss? Does obesity warrant special considerations when managing patients with heart failure? These, and other questions will be answered by our guest, Adrian da Silva de Abreu, M.D., M.Sc., Ph.D.(c), an advanced heart failure, LVAD, and transplant cardiologist from Mayo Clinic in Rochester.
