Podcasts about afib

We've got a three-peat favorite back on the mic—Dr. Karl Jandrey, DVM, DACVECC, emergency & critical care specialist at UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. In this “Ask the Vet” deep dive, Dr. Jandrey breaks down how heart disease shows up in pets, what to watch for at home, and what your vet does first in the ER.You'll learn the stealth early signs in dogs (like true exercise intolerance vs. stubbornness), when coughing and increased breathing effort mean “go now,” and why small breeds often face mitral valve disease while large breeds are at risk for dilated cardiomyopathy (including the grain-free/taurine connection). We also cover arrhythmias (like AFib) and dramatic collapses, the core ER toolkit (oxygen, ultrasound, diuretics), and practical home monitoring (why ≤30 breaths/min at rest matters).For cats, Dr. Jandrey explains hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)—why it's so hard to spot, the realities of sudden distress or clots (ATE), and what treatment and prognosis can look like. Plus: a quick detour into exciting oncology advances (hello, Lola the Golden Retriever!) and a feel-good moment with Dr. Jandrey's lab, Danson, a veteran blood donor.Send us your questions for a future Ask the Vet!Highlights / What You'll Learn:- Early, often-missed signs of cardiac disease in dogs- Mitral valve disease vs. dilated cardiomyopathy—who's at risk and why- ER playbook: oxygen, Lasix (furosemide), rhythm control, point-of-care ultrasound- Home check: how to count resting respiratory rate and what numbers matter- Cats & HCM: silent disease, clots, emergency steps, and tough decisions- Meds 101: pimobendan, digoxin, diuretics—where they fit- Diet note: taurine and the grain-free discussionWe also briefly discuss:pet heart disease, dog coughing heart, resting respiratory rate dog, dilated cardiomyopathy dogs, mitral valve disease small dogs, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy cats, cat blood clot back legs, veterinary ER, pimobendan for dogs, taurine deficiency grain-freehttps://www.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/faculty/karl-e-jandrey--What started during the COVID-19 lockdown with one baby gorilla at the Cleveland Zoo has grown into a channel loved by animal fans around the world.

This study examined outcomes of patients with atrial fibrillation treated with pulsed field ablation (PFA) and found a notably high incidence of phrenic nerve injury during the procedure. Most injuries were transient, but some persisted beyond the immediate peri-procedural period, raising concerns about long-term safety. The findings highlight the need for refined techniques and monitoring strategies to mitigate phrenic nerve injury risk with PFA. Please join host Michael S. Lloyd, MD, FHRS as he discusses the finding of this study with his guests Andrea M. Russo, MD, FHRS and Birju Rao, MD, Msci in Atlanta at the HRX Live 2025 conference.

In this episode of Quality Talks with Peggy O'Kane, Peggy welcomes Anna Taylor, Associate Vice President for Population Health and Value-Based Care at MultiCare Connected Care in Tacoma, Washington. From the outset, Peggy is captivated by Anna's clarity, conviction and optimism. Anna doesn't just understand the technical challenges of digital transformation—she makes them accessible and inspiring. With a natural gift for storytelling and empathy for patients and providers alike, Anna explains why interoperability and value-based care are not just buzzwords but essential pathways to a better system. Anna's personal anecdotes, including her father's experience with AFib, bring urgency and humanity to the conversation. Peggy calls Anna an ally in the movement for quality, and it's easy to see why: Anna's vision is practical, inclusive and motivating.Listen to learn about:Embracing Imperfection to Drive Innovation: Anna challenges the perfectionist mindset in the quality world, advocating for iterative improvement and a willingness to try, fail and learn.Reengineering Workflows for Better Care: Anna has a specific vision for redesigning administrative tasks like prior authorization so clinicians are free to focus on meaningful patient interactions.Proving the Power of Web-Based Reporting: Anna discusses an initiative that shows how API-driven reporting can scale quality measurement affordably and accurately.This episode will resonate with clinicians, policymakers and technology leaders who are eager to rethink how care is delivered—and who appreciate the power of clear, passionate communication to drive change.Key Quote: I know there's a better way to do this because you can see it in your mind how it can flow. It's just not the culture that's built into a fee-for-service world. We have to go on a cultural journey and exploration on why we're really here to do this work and figure out how do we get to those workflows that are going to: Number one, give us more space in our schedule for patients. Number two, get the patients who need the most care, be able to stratify patients and be able to monitor more. Getting that cultural mind shift is hard. And the quality outcomes could be better if we can get all this data together to make better decisions about a care plan. I'm really thankful for my dad's ability to outlive his father and so on because of modern medicine. We can do better. We can do so much better in the care we provide our patients.-- Anna TaylorTime Stamps:(06:22) Value-Based Care and Misaligned Incentives(09:45) Anna's Story: Technology, Data, and Her Father's Care(12:48) How Digitalization Helps Primary Care(17:59) Embracing Imperfection and Driving Innovation(27:45) Peggy's ReflectionsLinks:Connect with Anna Taylor Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Flossing takes only minutes yet slashes health risks, with regular flossers showing up to 44% lower odds of certain strokes and reduced chances of irregular heart rhythms Long-term research following more than 6,000 adults found flossing even once a week is linked to healthier arteries, fewer strokes, and protection against atrial fibrillation (AFib), a dangerous heart rhythm disorder Scientists concluded that flossing itself stood out as protective, offering benefits independent of brushing, dentist visits, or other lifestyle habits that usually influence cardiovascular and overall health outcomes Gum bacteria that escape into the bloodstream trigger inflammation, artery hardening, and clots; flossing interrupts this chain reaction, giving your heart and brain measurable protection over time Beyond heart health, studies show flossing daily reduces all-cause mortality by lowering systemic inflammation, suggesting this habit not only extends life but also safeguards brain function and memory

Mark Goddard, Vice President of Clinical Services at Infobionic.AI,  describes the remote cardiac monitoring system that provides near real-time monitoring of patients with potential cardiac irregularities.  The benefit of continuous monitoring allows for early detection of arrhythmias like atrial fibrillation, a growing concern driven by an aging population and factors like obesity and high blood pressure. AI-driven algorithms are used to analyze ECG data and identify potential issues, enabling proactive treatment and prevention of complications like stroke.    Mark explains, "The focus of our monitoring system is to provide near real-time monitoring of patients who are reporting maybe cardiac irregularities. The whole idea is to provide that near-real-time access to cardiac information so that arrhythmias can be identified relatively quickly. Additionally, the treatments for those arrhythmias are relatively quick as well, providing better patient outcomes. Just related to the fact that the data is always there, and it comes in maybe a minute or two behind live."   "We are partnered with a major health system that has an AI engine that is basically developing AI tools that can be utilized in cardiac monitors. And just looking at the patient's ECG, they're able to determine the potential for arrhythmias that may not have occurred yet. And that's kind of what we're focusing on. The ability to review ECG and understand those little nuances that may indicate, hey, this patient's going to have an event like atrial fibrillation, which is the most common irregular rhythm there is, especially for an aging population. Identifying those folks early can really help with not only the outcome for the patient, in that they're not going to run into the problems you may have if you don't recognize you have atrial fibrillation, but it'll also decrease healthcare costs, which in the end helps everybody." #InfobionicAI #MedAI #Cardiology #AFib #HeartMonitor #CardiacTracking infobionic.ai Listen to the podcast here

Contributor: Taylor Lynch, MD Educational Pearls: What is atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response (AFib with RVR) and how does it differ from atrial fibrillation (AFib)? AFib is an abnormal heart rhythm in which the heart has disorganized atrial electrical activity. This causes the atria to quiver with only select signals being conducted through the Atrioventricular (AV) Node to reach the ventricles and result in ventricular contraction. Often described as “irregularly irregular”, a patient's EKG will present with no discernible P-waves, and irregular R-R intervals. AFib with RVR is distinguished from AFib when the patient's ventricular rate is greater than 100-110 beats per minute in AFib with RVR. What is the treatment for AFib with RVR? Diltiazem is considered one of the first line therapeutic agents in the treatment of AFib with RVR. Diltiazem inhibits L-Type calcium channels in the AV Node, reducing the amount of signals conducted to the ventricles, thus reducing the ventricular rate. Why pretreat patients receiving Diltiazem for AFib with RVR with calcium? While diltiazem inhibits cardiac calcium channels, it may also cause peripheral vasodilation, resulting in diltiazem-induced hypotension. A recent study found that this hypotension can be blunted by pretreating with 1-2g IV Calcium Chloride (IV Calcium Gluconate can be used in the ED). Calcium is thought to peripherally stabilize the vascular smooth muscle, preventing vasodilation without impacting the desired calcium channel blocker action at the AV node. Key takeaways? In combination with slower pushes of diltiazem for patients in AFib with RVR (AFib with ventricular rate >100-110 bpm) with borderline low blood pressures, 1-2 g of IV Calcium Gluconate can combat diltiazem induced hypotension peripherally without negating the cardiac effect of diltiazem to reduce the heart rate.  References 2023 ACC/AHA/ACCP/HRS Guideline for the Diagnosis and Management of Atrial Fibrillation: A Report of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Joint Committee on Clinical Practice Guidelines.

Send us a textWe often hear about heart disease prevention, but stroke—a condition nearly as common and often more disabling—gets far less attention. In this episode, Dr. Bobby is joined by cardiologist Dr. Anthony Pearson to uncover what science really says about stroke prevention, the distinct types of strokes, and what practical steps you can take today to lower your risk.Together, they explore the two major types of stroke—ischemic and hemorrhagic—and explain why strokes caused by clots or vessel rupture can have very different causes and consequences. The data shows nearly 800,000 Americans experience strokes annually, and about half of survivors live with long-term disability (CDC; NIH). Yet most of us are unaware of the modifiable risk factors that account for up to 90% of stroke risk (INTERSTROKE Study).Dr. Pearson emphasizes the number one culprit: high blood pressure. It triples individual risk and contributes to half of all strokes, with randomized trials like SPRINT showing that aggressive control reduces both stroke and mortality (SPRINT Study). Both doctors also discuss physical activity—while Dr. Bobby cites strong associations between exercise and reduced stroke risk (BMJ Review), Dr. Pearson cautions that current evidence is largely observational and inconclusive.They also explore the role of lipid levels, citing that high ApoB or LDL may increase risk in strokes caused by carotid atherosclerosis, but not necessarily in cardioembolic strokes. Dietary improvements, particularly following a Mediterranean-style diet, have shown benefits, including reduced stroke risk in randomized trials like PREDIMED.Beyond traditional risk factors, they also explore loneliness as a newer area of concern. A recent study linked persistent loneliness in adults over 50 to a 50% increased stroke risk (Lancet eClinicalMedicine), highlighting the complex social and behavioral factors at play.Dr. Pearson discusses atrial fibrillation (AFib) and why it's a key cause of cardioembolic strokes—especially relevant given that wearables like Apple Watch now help detect AFib early. They also touch on controversial screening approaches, warning against routine carotid ultrasounds and unwarranted treatment of asymptomatic brain aneurysms.Importantly, Dr. Bobby highlights the signs of stroke—sudden weakness, numbness, speech difficulties, or confusion—and urges immediate ER visits to enable timely treatment like thrombolysis, ideally within four hours of symptom onset.As always, they wrap by challenging popular myths. Dr. Pearson explains why aspirin, once widely promoted for primary prevention, is no longer recommended due to increased bleeding risk, especially into the brain. He also debunks the idea that supplements like fish oil or B vitamins help prevent strokes, noting no benefit in recent large trials.Takeaways:Know your blood pressure and cholesterol levels—and treat them if needed. These remain the top modifiable risks for stroke.Prioritize physical activity, even if trial data is imperfect—it benefits vascular health broadly and may reduce stroke risk.Stay socially connected: chronic loneliness has emerging links to stroke risk, highlighting that prevention isn't just physical—it's relational.To continue learning how to live long and well, visit drbobbylivelongandwell.com.

Marc and Kim run through a rapid-fire “In Other News” segment packed with headlines and hot takes. First up: confusion around Hulk Hogan's “death” is cleared up—he's not dead. (It was likely a mistake, as Hogan is still alive.) Still, the crew discusses what would've been his cause of death if true: a heart attack complicated by AFib and leukemia, with a nod to his iconic moment in Rocky III (not II) against Stallone. Next, the group reacts to jaw-dropping footage from Saudi Arabia, where an amusement park ride snapped in half, injuring 23 but miraculously killing no one. Marc blasts lax safety and carnival rides, vowing to keep his kids off them forever. Then it's back to sports as WNBA viewership jumps 21%, even with Caitlin Clark sidelined. Marc isn't buying the media's spin that it's “not all about Caitlin.” He says flat out: She's the reason people tuned in. Kim compares it to a binge-worthy show—you come for Caitlin, but stay to see what wild thing Angel Reese says next. Elsewhere, Justin Timberlake reveals he's battling Lyme disease, explaining his lackluster stage performances and growing fan frustration. Kim sympathizes but says the videos make it look like he's just mailing it in. The segment wraps with a jab at how AI is taking over health management, with 35% of Americans now using it to track meals, fitness, and wellness—Marc and Kim warn, don't turn your brain off just because a bot tells you to run into a wall.

232: Pt. 1 Unlocking Heaven's Perfect Frequency | Dr. Robert RodichI'm so thrilled to welcome back my good friend, Doc Rodich, to Spirit-Centered Business. If you've followed the show for a bit, you might remember him from episodes 140 and 141, and even way back in November of ‘22 when he first shared his story with us. Since then, the man has been busy—like "retirement-who?" kind of busy.In this episode, we dive deep into the wild and wonderful journey God's had him on—from prophetic words and unexpected encounters with the power of God (yes, a gravel faceplant included), to creating prayed-over EMF-blocking medallions that blend real gemstones, Holy Spirit downloads, and solid science.These aren't just pretty pieces of jewelry—they're powerful tools designed to enhance wellness, spiritual clarity, and connection with heaven.We talk frequency, faith-filled intention, the Kingdom's reclamation of things we've long dismissed as “New Age,” and what it looks like to carry an open heaven with you. He even drops some insights on a new generation of medallions, including the game-changing Torus shape that amplifies your energy field and boosts all the others by 5x. (Yes, please!)So grab a comfy seat—preferably not an electric recliner—and tune in. You're going to love this part one of three series. Let's get Spirit-centered!BIO:Dr. Robert Rodich, Ph.D. has over thirty years of experience doing precise wellness evaluations for his clients. It is clear that today's food sources no longer contain optimal levels of vital nutrients therefore having a plan in place that is precise to your exact nutritional need is vital in these challenging times.What makes Doc Rodich unique is that the testing method he uses works off of the frequencies projected by your voice. This methodology has proven to be just as accurate as if you were standing in front of him in his office. The obvious takeaway is that you need not travel all the way to South Alabama to benefit from his testing unless you just want to enjoy the wonderful white sandy beaches of Gulf Shores and Orange beach.HIGHLIGHTS:Doc's “retirement” is code for “busier than ever”—turns out, heaven had more in store.A prophetic word + a gravel faceplant = divine confirmation that Alabama wasn't just a random move.He's been doing remote nutritional scans using voice frequencies for decades—way ahead of the curve.EMF readings in everyday spots (like recliners and beds) can spike dangerously high—his wife's AFib seemed linked to them.Homemade EMF-blocking medallions reduced her episodes to zero—and yes, they're pretty enough for ladies, by design.These medallions aren't just gadgets—they're loaded with prayed-over gemstones, revealed via Holy Spirit downloads.Doc builds first, then learns why it works later—a spiritual R&D method straight from Father's Kingdom.Each medallion combines gemstones to form frequency “formulas” that act like training wheels for the spirit-soul-body connection.Wearing them can amplify your ability to hear from God, stabilize your atmosphere, and even boost your mood and energy.The ephod piece mirrors the High Priest's breastplate—a nod to the original wearable tech for hearing from heaven.Don't dismiss crystals as “New Age”—God's people used them first. We just forgot their Kingdom purpose.Doc's Torus medallion expands your personal energy field to nearly 30 feet—like a Holy-Spirit-powered WiFi bubble.It also multiplies the power of other medallions by 5x. Yes, like a frequency amplifier from heaven.He uses muscle testing to confirm impact, all while staying anchored in scripture and spiritual discernment.Doc sees these tools not as magic fixes, but as kingdom training wheels that help us hear better and carry heaven wherever we go.LINK for DOC RODICH:– Find all of Doc's medallions, books and services on http://DocRodich.comLINK for BRALYNN: – Coaching for Business and Breakthrough Encounters: http://SpiritCenteredBusiness.comCopyright 2025 - Bralynn Newby Int'l, LLC.

This week, Dr. Prather gives a preview of his upcoming free seminar about the Holistic Heart program at Holistic Integration.  In this episode, we talk about:—The philosophy behind Holistic Heart and how it integrates Structure-Function Care and the medical model for the best patient outcomes.—How our Holistic Heart program is designed to give our patients safe, non-invasive, and medically-sound cardiac care that is more than just stents and statins. —The unique diagnostic tests Dr. Prather orders for patients that most cardiologists do not do. —The shocking study from the National Institutes of Health study that revealed stents and bypass surgeries are NOT effective for long-term heart health outcomes. —The External CounterPulsation (ECP) Therapy developed 60 years ago by Harvard and how it duplicates 5 years of marathon training for the heart in just 7 weeks. And the touching story of how Dr. Prather came to bring this treatment into his office.—How Magnesium for men and Potassium for women are "absolutely critical" for those situations where a person dies suddenly and unexpectedly from a heart attack. —Why high Cholesterol is NOT the underlying problem, but an indicator of Cardiovascular Disease. And why Dr. Prather describes Cholesterol as the firefighters showing up to put out the fire. —How Chiropractic care helps with the Vagus Nerve, POTS (Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome), and can play a big role for atrial fibrillation (AFib). Plus, the Acupuncture points that can settle down the EKG of a patient while they are having a heart attack.—The Cardiac C-Reactive Protein Blood Test that is the biggest indicator of having a heart attack. And how Cardiologists are "amazed" by how Dr. Prather can quickly and effectively get positive changes in this measurement.—How you can get our Autonomic Nervous System Test for just $49 (normally a $195 value) by attending our next free Holistic Heart seminar with Dr. Prather on Wednesday, July 30th at 6:30 p.m.http://www.TheVoiceOfHealthRadio.com

How a Years Worth of Experience of PFA for AF has Revolutionized My Practice   Guest: Christopher DeSimone, M.D., Ph.D. Guest: Abhishek Deshmukh, M.B.B.S. Host: Anthony H. Kashou, M.D.   Patients most commonly have undergone traditional catheter ablation for AF via a thermal energy source. A newer energy modality is called Pulsed Field Ablation – using very high energy pulsation of strong voltages to destroy tissue responsible for AF. At Mayo Clinic, we have significant expertise in using this technology for our patients. This has changed our ablation practice, approach to ablation, and has made a tremendous impact on AF management.    Topics Discussed: How has the implementation of PFA for AFib changed your practice? What are some of the benefits of offering patients PFA? How has experience with this technology reflected your ablation approach? Where is the field of PFA heading to next for AFib?

Story at-a-glance Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is typically linked to cardiovascular risk factors like hypertension and aging, but evidence suggests chronic oral infections also play a direct role in its development New research links Porphyromonas gingivalis, the key bacterium in gum disease, to heart scarring and arrhythmias. Findings show it travels to the heart and interferes with electrical signaling In animal models, P. gingivalis exposure increased AFib risk, while human heart tissue confirmed higher bacterial load and damage in patients with severe gum disease A 14-year study of 1.25 million people found chronic gum disease increased AFib risk by 4%, while recovery lowered risk to nearly the same level as gum-healthy individuals To improve your gum health, make sure to brush and floss daily, try oil pulling, eat a whole-food diet, manage your stress levels, and get regular cleanings from a biological dentist trained in systemic oral care

(00:00-25:28) – Query & Company opens on a Friday with Greg Rakestraw filling in for Jake Query and producer Eddie Garrison discussing the four big topics of today’s show. Rake comments on Myles Turner’s goodbye post to the Indiana Pacers, IndyCar in Iowa this weekend, the Fever back on the floor tonight after a brutal loss last time out on Wednesday and asks Eddie if he’s heard from Jake since leaving Wednesday for Manchester. (25:28-38:40) – Indy Eleven Head Coach Sean McAuley joins the show to talk about his teams commanding 3-0 win over Monterey Bay FC on Saturday night, explains why he always adapts his tactics during the course of the season instead of playing the same way each match, shares what his relationship is like with former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, and compares where central Indiana ranks on the places that he has lived in his life. (38:40-44:36) – The first hour of the program concludes with Greg Rakestraw highlighting what’s going on in Wimbledon between Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic. Plus, he comments on the up-and-coming American tennis players. (44:36-1:09:04) – Michael Young from the IndyCar Radio Network makes an appearance on Query & Company with Greg Rakestraw to discuss the expectations for the two races at Iowa Speedway this weekend, explains how hard it is for teams to turnaround from Saturday night and then race again on Sunday afternoon, Scott Dixon’s legacy and how much longer he will race, and identifies Team Penske’s struggles as the storyline that he will be monitoring in the final seven races of the season. (1:09:04-1:24:17) – Scott Agness of Fieldhouse Files joins the show and starts his conversation with Greg Rakestraw discussing the first Summer League game for the Indiana Pacers, notes why it is such an important event for people involved with the NBA, previews tonight’s Fever game against the Atlanta Dream, and notes what All-Star weekend could be like for the WNBA in comparison to All-Star weekend for the NBA when it was in town. (1:24:17-1:28:24) – Hour number two of the show concludes with Greg providing an update on Sinner vs Djokovic in Wimbledon. Rake wonders if that was the last time Novak competes in the major. (1:28:24-1:50:24) – The final hour of the show starts with Greg Rakestraw highlighting the gusts that he’s had on today’s show and noting some things that were discussed that he wanted to revisit. Specifically, what the rest of the season looks like for Team Penske and starts wondering what the team could look like next season. Additionally, he explains why people need to celebrate the accomplishment that Clayton Kershaw made last week because it could be a while before we see another pitcher reach 3,000 career strikeouts. (1:50:24-2:03:42) – As Jake does every Friday on Query & Company, he provides heart health advice to you through our partnership with Franciscan Health.

What does it mean to be a trail runner in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s—or even your 70s? How do years of pounding dirt, chasing summits, and chasing goals shape our bodies, minds, and identities? Welcome to The Aging Athlete, a new Trail Runner Nation mini-series co-hosted by ultrarunning icon Krissy Moehl. Every 5 to 6 weeks, we'll dive into what it looks like to grow older in this sport we love—exploring how to train smarter, fuel better, recover more intentionally, and stay motivated through the decades. In this second episode of the Aging Athlete Series, we speak with Dr. Scott Drum, an exercise physiologist and lifelong endurance athlete. We explore how training, VO₂ max, heart health, sleep, and social connection evolve as we age—and how understanding these changes can help runners continue performing and thriving for decades. Dr. Drum explains how we can maintain (and even improve) cardiovascular fitness into our 50s and beyond, and shares his personal experience with AFib as a cautionary but hopeful tale. The conversation blends science, personal insight, and practical strategies to help runners of all ages stay motivated, train smart, and run for life.

We covered a paper in episode 81 that suggested treating atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response in the field could lower mortality. But it also drops BP a bit. Could pretreating these patients with calcium lower the risk of hypotension? Dr Jarvis puts on his nerd hat and uses Bayesian analysis to assess a new randomized, placebo-controlled study that looked at just this thing. Why is he going off on this Bayes thing? Because he's been reading a couple of book on it and wanted to take it for a spin.  Tables:  Charts: Bayesian Distributions: Citation: 1.     Az A, Sogut O, Dogan Y, Akdemir T, Ergenc H, Umit TB, Celik AF, Armagan BN, Bilici E, Cakmak S: Reducing diltiazem-related hypotension in atrial fibrillation: Role of pretreatment intravenous calcium.
