What started with a rabbit heart in a physiology lab led to a career focused on preventing strokes through early detection of atrial fibrillation. A Stanford cardiologist shares how that moment sparked a lifelong interest in cardiac rhythms and how today's wearables can now detect AFib through simple, continuous monitoring, long before symptoms appear. This shift from reactive care to early detection marks a major step forward in heart health, powered by straightforward algorithms and a growing role for AI in predicting cardiovascular risk.

This week on Heart Doc VIP, Dr. Joel Kahn explores new and historic data showing that heart disease can begin shockingly early—sometimes before age 30. A pivotal 1998 study revealed that up to one-third of young adults already show signs of atherosclerosis, emphasizing the urgent need for primordial prevention starting in childhood. Dr. Kahn outlines the key health screenings every parent should know: blood pressure checks, body weight monitoring, and essential lab work. Later in the episode, Dr. Kahn revisits new findings on the Paleo diet, showing it may have included more plant- and starch-based foods than often assumed. He also discusses concerning links between processed meats and dementia, plus a cautionary look at a recent study on a specific group following the KETO diet—don't buy into the hype just yet. Additional topics include: The ISCHEMIA trial's insights on blood pressure control New research on the risk of dementia in people diagnosed with atrial fibrillation (AFIB) before age 70 Thanks to our partner endur.com.

Hosts Mitsuaki Sawano, MD, and Regional Associate Editor Nobuhiro Ikemura, MD, welcome Takashi Ikenouchi, MD, a physician scientist at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Smidt Heart Institute, to discuss the headline-grabbing “Gold Card” sale and a novel approach to atrial fibrillation: an embryological classification of arrhythmogenic triggers. While pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) remains the cornerstone of AF ablation, up to 30% of triggers originate outside the pulmonary veins, contributing to recurrence and suboptimal outcomes. As PVI outcomes begin to plateau, this embryology-informed framework—categorizing triggers into common pulmonary vein, sinus venosus, and primitive atrium origins—offers a path toward more personalized and precise AF therapies.

Cal Beattie defies expectations at every turn. At 90 years old, he's not just surviving—he's thriving as a competitive Masters swimmer who only started racing four years ago and trains alone in a small town in Virginia. He swims unattached with no team members and is amazingly disciplined. His journey from recreational swimmer to competitive athlete began after his wife passed away, when swimming became his solace and strength.What makes Cal's story remarkable isn't just his age, but his approach to training and technology. Despite being born before World War II, Cal uses Form smart goggles to track his performance data with precision that would impress swimmers half his age. His methodical training regimen consists of swimming every other day, always timing his 400-yard freestyle and analyzing the results afterward on his smartphone. "I'm a one-act pony," he admits with characteristic humility, but this singular focus has yielded extraordinary results.Cal Beattie shares his incredible journey as a 90-year-old Masters swimmer who only started competing four years ago after discovering he ranked fourth nationally in his age group while swimming recreationally after his wife's passing.• High school swim team co-captain in 1953, swimming 19.2 seconds for 20 yards freestyle• Swims every other day, focusing on a timed 400-yard freestyle using Form smart goggles that track his performance data• Eliminated his atrial fibrillation through swimming after doctors wouldn't give clear guidance about exercise• Maintains a heart rate of 134-150 during swimming and a resting heart rate of 58• Credits exercise, diet, and 8 hours of sleep as his secrets to longevity• Follows a disciplined nutrition regimen including a breakfast of grapes, flaxseed, lemon juice, olive oil, and baby spinachPerhaps most inspiring is Cal's health transformation through swimming. Twenty years ago, he was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation and put on blood thinners. When doctors wouldn't give him clear guidance about exercising, Cal made his own decision to start swimming regularly. The result? "After a year and a half, I went to the doctor. He said you no longer have AFib." Two decades later, his resting heart rate is an impressive 58 beats per minute—a testament to swimming's cardiovascular benefits at any age.Cal's disciplined approach extends beyond the pool. His meticulously consistent diet includes a daily breakfast of grapes, flaxseed, lemon juice, olive oil, and baby spinach. He prioritizes eight hours of sleep, recognizing its direct impact on his swimming performance. "When I get a good sleep, then I go to the pool and I usually get a much better outcome," he explains. These habits form the foundation of his longevity strategy, which he succinctly summarizes as "exercise, diet, and lots of sleep."Ready to be inspired by Cal's remarkable journey? Listen now and discover what's possible when you commit to showing up, regardless of your age.

William Sauer, MD, FHRS, CCDS, Brigham and Women's Hospital is joined by Tobias Reichlin, MD, University Hospital Basel, Switzerland, and Nikolas Nozica, MD, Brigham and Women's Hospital, to discuss the Nature Medicine article Safety of pulsed field ablation in more than 17,000 patients with atrial fibrillation in the MANIFEST-17K study. The following is a brief summary of the study covered in the article. Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is an emerging technology for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF), for which pre-clinical and early-stage clinical data are suggestive of some degree of preferentiality to myocardial tissue ablation without damage to adjacent structures. Here in the MANIFEST-17K study, we assessed the safety of PFA by studying the post-approval use of this treatment modality. Of the 116 centers performing post-approval PFA with a pentaspline catheter, data were received from 106 centers (91.4% participation) regarding 17,642 patients undergoing PFA (mean age 64, 34.7% female, 57.8% paroxysmal AF, and 35.2% persistent AF). No esophageal complications, pulmonary vein stenosis, or persistent phrenic palsy was reported (transient palsy was reported in 0.06% of patients; 11 of 17,642). Major complications, reported for ~1% of patients (173 of 17,642), were pericardial tamponade (0.36%; 63 of 17,642) and vascular events (0.30%; 53 of 17,642). Stroke was rare (0.12%; 22 of 17,642) and death was even rarer (0.03%; 5 of 17,642). Unexpected complications of PFA were coronary arterial spasm in 0.14% of patients (25 of 17,642) and hemolysis-related acute renal failure necessitating hemodialysis in 0.03% of patients (5 of 17,642). Taken together, these data indicate that PFA demonstrates a favorable safety profle by avoiding much of the collateral damage seen with conventional thermal ablation. PFA has the potential to be transformative for the management of patients with AF.  https://www.hrsonline.org/education/TheLead https://doi.org/10.1038/s41591-024-03114-3 Host Disclosure(s): W.

"In B cell malignancies, BTKi inhibits that BTK enzyme which is very upstream.

In 1993, we had Professor Vetrie and colleagues discover that this was actually due to mutation in a kinase, and they called that BTK. And then in 1993 was a discovery of our first BTKi inhibitor in the lab setting, and that's called LFM-A13. It wasn't until 2013, so that's 20 years after BTK kinase was discovered, where ibrutinib was our first-in-class BTK inhibitor, and the success of ibrutinib really promoted the exploration of second- and third-generation BTKis.” TS 6:24     “It's thought that BTK and other members in the pathway are constitutively phosphorylated, which just means they're spontaneously on. This leads to this uncontrolled activation of NF- κB signaling and thus uncontrolled proliferation and suppression of apoptosis. So, these B cells are rapidly dividing, but they're not functioning like they're supposed to be, meaning they won't differentiate, or, you know, they won't grow up to be either a plasma cell, like we talked about, or a memory B cell. They've been hacked.” TS 10:11     “This class is generally called—if you have to think of an umbrella term—it's just called targeted small molecule therapies. Now a subclass is BTKi or Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors. So, we're really shifting away from the use of cytotoxic chemotherapy, which is kind of designed to indiscriminately destroy rapidly dividing cells, to a more precise approach of targeting cells based on specific molecular changes in tumor DNA.” TS 13:47     “Cardiac toxicity can manifest as atrial fibrillation. And here I'll specifically talk about ibrutinib values because we have the most data with it, and the numbers actually get better with second- and third-generation BTKis. So frequency: Grade 1–2 atrial fibrillation was reported in 12%–15% of patients on Ibrutinib. And grade 3 AFib is 3%–5%. The onset, median onset is 8–13 months.” TS 20:23     “For nurses, they should really advise their patients that the caliber of headaches are easily managed and they will decrease over time over a period of four weeks. This is an upfront conversation reassuring the patient that this is not a long-term side effect.” TS 33:47     “One aspect that was being discussed at length was kind of identifying biases and then methods to neutralize those biases. So, I think first you have to identify what your bias could be toward BTK, maybe it's age or comorbidities or side-effect profile. And then, how can we mitigate our own biases is kind of the solution part to that.” TS 46:26 

Learn a systematic approach to management of wide complex tachycardia that doesn't rely on exact rhythm identification or scoring systems with guest Dr. Kevin Butler. By understanding the physiology rather than memorizing a score or algorithm you can use Kevin's approach and ABCD mnemonic to help differentiate between ventricular tachycardia, SVT with aberrancy, and other arrhythmias.

This week we will discuss possible treatment methods for AFIB.   Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is a common type of irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia) that occurs when the upper chambers of the heart (atria) beat chaotically and out of sync with the lower chambers (ventricles). This can lead to a variety of symptoms, including: Palpitations (a feeling of a racing or irregular heartbeat) Fatigue Shortness of breath Dizziness or lightheadedness Chest discomfort ​ AFib can increase the risk of blood clots, stroke, heart failure, and other heart-related complications. ​ Treatment Options for AFib Management of AFib focuses on controlling the heart rate and rhythm, preventing blood clots, and addressing underlying conditions contributing to the arrhythmia. The choice of treatment depends on the individual's symptoms, overall health, and risk factors. 1. Medications Medications are often the first line of treatment for AFib. These include: Rate-Control Medications Aim to slow the heart rate to a normal range. Common drugs: Beta-blockers (e.g., metoprolol), calcium channel blockers (e.g., diltiazem, verapamil), and digoxin. Rhythm-Control Medications Help restore and maintain a normal heart rhythm. Common drugs: Antiarrhythmics like amiodarone, flecainide, or sotalol. Anticoagulants (Blood Thinners) Reduce the risk of stroke by preventing blood clots. Examples: Warfarin, direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) like apixaban (Eliquis) or rivaroxaban (Xarelto). 2. Ablation Therapy Ablation is a minimally invasive procedure aimed at correcting the electrical signals causing AFib. It is typically recommended for individuals who: Do not respond to or cannot tolerate medications. Have recurrent or persistent AFib that significantly impacts quality of life. Types of ablation: Catheter Ablation Uses thin tubes (catheters) inserted into blood vessels to deliver energy (radiofrequency or cryotherapy) to destroy small areas of heart tissue causing abnormal electrical signals. Surgical Ablation (Maze Procedure) Often performed during open-heart surgery for other conditions, creating scar tissue to block abnormal signals. Both options have high success rates, but catheter ablation is more commonly performed due to its minimally invasive nature. Choosing the Right Treatment Deciding between medications or ablation depends on factors such as: The severity and frequency of symptoms. The presence of other medical conditions. Patient preference and lifestyle. Consultation with a cardiologist or electrophysiologist is crucial to tailor treatment to the individual's needs.

The best diet for one of the most common heart conditions

Welcome to my podcast. I am Doctor Warrick Bishop, and I want to help you to live as well as possible for as long as possible. I'm a practising cardiologist, best-selling author, keynote speaker, and the creator of The Healthy Heart Network. I have over 20 years as a specialist cardiologist and a private practice of over 10,000 patients. In this podcast episode, Warrick Bishop interviews Jim Kaveney, a 50-year-old atrial fibrillation (AFib) survivor who was diagnosed at 38. Jim shares his journey through multiple medical procedures, including medications and pacemaker implantation, while also managing the pressures of starting a business and raising two young children. He emphasizes the emotional challenges he faced, particularly concerns about his family's future. Jim discusses his book, "Unlimited Heart: How to Transform Your Pain into Purpose," which details his experiences and the importance of aligning the heart and mind to overcome challenges. He encourages listeners to ask their cardiology teams about the causes of AFib, lifestyle changes to prevent it, and available treatment options. Additionally, he highlights the significance of being aware of AFib warning signs and the role of wearable devices in monitoring heart health. Jim's initiative, Unlimited Health, aims to provide support and education for those living with AFib, focusing on lifestyle modifications and creating a community for accountability. He stresses the importance of small, manageable steps towards change and the need for support systems. The episode concludes with Jim's commitment to helping others through his lived experiences and resources.

— On a cold and cozy December night in 2018, Jim Kaveney thinks he is dying. He is a husband, a father, a business owner, an athlete, and innovator. He is also an Afib patient facing massive cardiac trauma. In his memoir, Unlimited Heart: How To Transform Your Pain Into Purpose, Jim Kaveney recounts his dance with death and the events of his life leading up to this fateful, health-defining moment and the shifts in business perspective and priorities that followed. Unlimited Heart takes readers on a three-part, forty-year journey. It traverses the tight budgets of an eleven-member household to the financial burdens strapped to a dream to the sale of a multi-million-dollar startup. It is a raw portrayal of a boy who grapples with his own demons in the midst of his dreams and a man who turns those dreams into a clear, entrepreneurial vision—a vision that is threatened by medicine, technology, and surgeries.  Kaveney's entrepreneurial and cardiac journey cannot be separated. Where his heart was weak, his mind became strong. When his mind was weak, his heart was strong. His battle between his metaphorical and physical heart and mind is what inspired him to write Unlimited Heart and to launch a business with the namesake. Turning his pain in life to a greater purpose, Unlimited Heart helps people with cardiac issues be different and better patients. Valeria interviews Jim Kaveney — He is the author of  “Unlimited Heart: How To Transform Your Pain Into Purpose.” Jim Kaveney is all heart. In 2012 Jim founded Alkemy Partners (a Life Sciences Learning and Performance company that was ranked by Inc5000 in 2019 and 2020 before achieving acquisition in 2020 by EVERSANA™) and he is currently the founder of Unlimited Heart Health &  Wellness —a collaborative organization of health care professionals accelerating cardiac innovation. After years of balancing entrepreneurial ambitions with his own growing cardiac issues, Jim Kaveney, M.S. has turned his pain into a purpose to become an expert in navigating the burgeoning worlds of digital therapeutics, global startup initiatives, and the mindset training required to tackle the pillars of a holistic work-health-faith-family-life balance. Growing up as the youngest of nine in Erie, Pennsylvania, he sought understanding and solace in forces greater than himself, a quest that has influenced his personal and professional journey. Through his story, he hopes to empower others to find strength and resilience in the face of health challenges, while continuing to innovate and advocate for better patient care solutions.
