Please join HRS Digital Education Committee Vice-Chair, Tina Baykaner, MD, MPH, of Stanford University, as she is joined by Heart Rhythm Society President Mina K. Chung, MD, FHRS, of the Cleveland Clinic, and Konstantinos C. Siontis, MD, FHRS of the May Clinic. The three met up in Altanta at HRX 2025 for this stimulating coversation. This study evaluated whether artificial intelligence applied to single-lead ambulatory ECGs could predict imminent sustained ventricular arrhythmias. Using deep learning models, the researchers demonstrated that AI could identify subtle ECG features preceding arrhythmic events, enabling accurate short-term risk prediction. The findings suggest a potential role for AI-enhanced ECG monitoring to improve early detection and prevention of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias.

The effect of immediate weightbearing after planovalgus foot reconstruction in ambulatory children with cerebral palsyBackground and Objective(s)Planovalgus (PV) is a common foot deformity in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Orthopedic surgery is widely established as an effective treatment for deformity correction though there is clinical variation in post-op therapy protocols. Immediate weightbearing (WB) after PV foot correction could accelerate recovery but concern for post-op complications causes reluctance. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of complications after PV foot surgery in children with early WB vs. non-WB (NWB).Study Participants & Setting135 ambulatory children with CP (GMFCS I (12%), II (58%), III (30%)) met inclusion criteria and were included from a children's hospital setting and assessed in the gait laboratory.Materials/MethodsThis IRB-approved retrospective cohort study included ambulatory children (GMFCS I-III) with CP and PV foot deformity who underwent reconstructive surgery and pre (within 18 months) and post-op (1-3 years) gait analyses. Complications were defined in three timeframes: (1) short-term, within 6 months of surgery, by radiograph review for nonunion, hardware failure, or infection requiring return to surgery, (2) mid-term, at 1-3 years, by pedobarographic assessment, and (3) long-term, > 3 years, by recurrence requiring surgical revision. Fisher exact tests compared the prevalence of complications between immediate WB and NWB groups. Regression analysis evaluated the relationship between complications and child, surgical, and post-operative factors.Results140 surgical events were completed on 224 feet at age 12.7 ± 2.8 years. Following surgery, 84% of children followed an immediate WB protocol, and 16% were NWB for the first six weeks. The prevalence of short-term complications between the WB and NWB groups was no different (nonunion/hardware failure/infection, WB 3%/1%/0%; NWB, 0%/3%/0%; p>0.9). There were no between group differences in mid-term correction status (under- corrected/corrected/over-corrected, WB 31%/45%/24%; NWB, 32%/54%/14%; p>0.9). The prevalence of long-term recurrence necessitating surgery was not significantly different (WB/NWB, 3%/11%; 8.5±2.8 years post-op; p>0.9). Regression analysis demonstrated WB status was not a significant predictor of correction status or long-term recurrence requiring revision (p>0.05).Conclusions/SignificanceComplication rates were very low after planovalgus foot correction surgery in ambulatory children with CP. There were no significant differences in complications, clinical outcomes, or need for surgical revision between groups who followed immediate WB vs. NWB post-op protocols. Immediate WB after PV foot correction surgery presented no increased risks compared to NWB and should be encouraged in children with CP. Early WB, standing, and walking may prevent disuse muscle weakness and promote faster recovery of gross motor mobility, enhancing patient care. Future studies should examine the impact of early WB on recovery time and long-term functional outcomes.

The white-coat effect is a measure of blood pressure change from before to during the visit in office/clinic when the blood pressure is recorded by a physician or nurse; this was first described in 1983 by Mancia et al, and was initially thought to represent a benign process. But it was unclear what this actually meant for pregnancy. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) has been used in pregnancy for about 20 years now. Use of this monitoring option has revealed a subgroup of patients who have persistently high blood pressure (BP) in the presence of health care providers, but a normal ambulatory or self-measured BP. This phenomenon has been termed “White Coat Hypertension” (WCH). In 2013, The International Society for the Study of Hypertension in Pregnancy (ISSHP) published the revised classification for hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, that included WCH, not previously included. The ISSHP guidelines also emphasize that a diagnosis of white coat hypertension in pregnancy should only be considered before 20 weeks of gestation. We now know that WCH, outside of pregnancy, is not an entirely benign process. The role of metabolic risk factors in patients with white-coat hypertension was first outlined in 2000 by Kario and Pickering. When metabolic risk factors are present in association with white-coat hypertension, the increased risk of target organ damage is determined not only by the blood pressure characteristics but also by the metabolic abnormalities. Recognizing the potential risks of white coat hypertension was also published in a commentary in 2016 out of the European Society of Cardiology. That article's title was, “White-coat hypertension: not so innocent”. But what is the latest data on WCH in pregnancy? Is WCH linked to poor obstetrical outcomes? Does WHC need medication therapy? We have data from 2024 to help us. Listen in for details.

Stay tuned to the end of the episode for a policy update on the bill containing Medicaid cuts that is making its way through Congress, and the recent MAHA Commission Report. If you were to ask any healthcare leader what the top challenges in our industry are, it's a fair bet that “improving patient access to care” would be on the list. There have been so many investments made in the industry to improve access—especially since the Covid-19 pandemic. With this level of investment, we should be moving the needle. But the data shows that access is not getting better, and in some cases, it's getting worse. This week, Advisory Board physician and medical group expert Mahaya Walker joins host Abby Burns to unpack why, and what medical groups can do about it. They break down Advisory Board research findings around how a narrow focus on improving appointment availability may actually be hurting efforts to improve access, and how medical groups can move the needle on access by putting clinicians closer to the center of their access strategies.

In this episode, hosts Gonzalo Bearman an Priya Nori sit down with Dr. Anita Shallal and Dr. Michael Veve to explore performance metrics that guide effective antimicrobial stewardship in outpatient settings. Drawing on their recent review article, the discussion focuses on key measures from the Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS®), which assess the quality of antibiotic prescribing—particularly for common upper respiratory tract infections. Drs. Shallal and Veve walk through the four core HEDIS® measures relevant to stewardship, explain how these metrics are used by organizations like the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), and share insights on how performance data can drive programmatic goals. The episode also covers the unique challenges hospitals face in implementing stewardship programs beyond the inpatient setting, and the essential components—personnel, tools, and patient engagement—needed for success. Tune in for a practical and timely conversation about how healthcare systems can integrate performance measures into clinical workflows, leverage them to improve antibiotic use, and ultimately combat antimicrobial resistance in the community.
