CardioNerds Dr. Joseph Kassab, Dr. Mariana Garcia-Arango, and Dr. Christopher Mason explore the technological revolution of Coronary CT Angiography (CCTA) with expert faculty Dr. Michael Gallagher. The discussion details how CCTA has evolved into a frontline diagnostic and preventive tool, moving beyond simple anatomy to incorporate physiology via CT-FFR and biology through AI-driven plaque quantification. The episode reviews landmark evidence like the SCOT-HEART and PROMISE trials, the nuances of CAD-RADS 2.0 reporting, and the emerging role of AI in monitoring treatment response and personalizing cardiovascular care. Critically, they also discuss some of the assumptions and limitations of these techniques. Stay tuned for a matching review article to be submitted to US Cardiology Review, the official Journal of CardioNerds.

CardioNerds Multimodality Cardiovascular Imaging PageCardioNerds Episode PageCardioNerds AcademyCardionerds Healy Honor Roll Pearls Shift in Paradigm: CCTA is no longer just an anatomic test; with some key limitations, it can provide anatomy, physiology (CT-FFR), and plaque biology (AI-CPA) in a single non-invasive scan. The “Power of Zero” vs. Plaque: While a normal CCTA has a >95% negative predictive value, future MIs often arise from non-obstructive plaque that traditional stress tests might miss. CAD-RADS 2.0 Utility: The addition of plaque burden modifiers (P1–P4) is a “game changer,” allowing clinicians to identify high-risk patients who need aggressive lipid-lowering despite having only mild stenosis. CT-FFR as a Virtual Stress Test: CT-FFR uses computational fluid dynamics to simulate blood flow, potentially reducing unnecessary invasive catheterizations by approximately 61% without sacrificing safety. Seeing the Invisible: AI-based quantitative plaque analysis (QCPA) can identify “subvisual” plaque and low-attenuation (lipid-rich) components that are the primary drivers of acute coronary syndromes. Show Notes How has the role of CCTA changed compared to traditional functional testing? Historically, stress testing answered “is there ischemia today?”, which often reflects late-stage disease. CCTA identifies disease across the entire spectrum, asking “is there atherosclerosis and how much plaque is present?”. Landmark evidence: SCOT-HEART showed a 41% relative risk reduction in MI at 5 years attributed to intensified preventive therapies, and PROMISE showed CCTA was better at selecting patients who truly needed invasive angiography. Diagnostic CCTA imaging depends on the protocol, contrast timing, heart rate, heart rhythm, breathholding, scanner quality, and several patient factors (obesity, prior stents, heavy calcification, complex bypass anatomy, and motion artifact all may limit imaging). “CCTA is exceptional for the right patient, with the right scanner, and the right team.” What are the key modifiers introduced in CAD-RADS 2.0, and why do they matter? CAD-RADS 2.0 moved beyond stenosis severity to include plaque burden (P0 to P4), high-risk plaque (HRP) features, and the presence of ischemia based on CT-FFR. It serves as a clinical decision support tool: a patient with mild (25-49%) stenosis but “extensive” (P4) plaque burden is considered high risk and warrants aggressive risk factor modification. How is CT-FFR calculated, and when is it most useful in clinical practice? CT-FFR uses resting CCTA data and computational fluid dynamics to create a 3D model of coronary flow during simulated maximal hyperemia. It is often used for intermediate lesions (40–90% stenosis) to predict if they are  ischemia-producing, guiding the decision whether to proceed with invasive angiography.  The assumptions necessary for this computational modeling may not apply well to patients with microvascular dysfunction, significant myocardial scar or prior infarction, or ventricular hypertrophy. Still, data indicate that CT-FFR performs similarly to PET in predicting hemodynamically significant lesions.  CT-FFR performs well at the extremes (either clearly normal or clearly abnormal). Accuracy dips, however, in the intermediate range (~0.75-0.80), where decision-making is most critical. In this grey zone, additional factors can help guide the approach, including the amount of myocardium supplied, translesional gradient, and plaque features.   CT-FFR has not been validated in distal segments, stented segments, heavily calcified coronary arteries, or in patients with severe aortic stenosis. Caution with CT-FFR should be utilized in very calcified coronary segments.  What is AI-based quantitative plaque analysis (QCPA), and what metrics are ready for clinical use? This is potentially a paradigm shift, moving away from stenosis-centric thinking to a more disease burden and plaque biology focus. QCPA uses deep learning algorithms to automatically segment the vessel wall and quantify plaque volume in mm³. Ready for “prime time” metrics include: Total Plaque Volume (TPV), non-calcified plaque volume, and Low-Attenuation Plaque (LAP) burden. Can serial CCTA be used to monitor the effectiveness of medical therapies like statins? While not yet a routine guideline-driven practice, trials like PARADIGM and EVAPORATE show that therapies can stabilize plaque; notably, CCTA is better for monitoring than CAC scores, which can be misleading as statins often increase plaque calcification as part of the stabilization process. There are no randomized trials that serial CCTAs improve outcomes. Cost and radiation exposure will be notable limitations. Serial scan timing, scan acquisition and interpretation standardization would be key. Dr. Gallagher notes that we are moving toward a world in which plaque burden may become a “treatment biomarker,” similar to tumor burden in oncology.  References 1.

A thoughtful and important JACC State-of-the-Art Review reframes cardiogenic shock not as a single ICU event, but as a longitudinal survivorship journey. The article highlights recovery, remission, native heart survival, PICS, HF GDMT optimization, and the need for structured multidisciplinary postshock clinics focused on function, cognition, quality of life, and recurrent risk after discharge. A timely call to move from rescue alone to rescue plus recovery.

In this episode of Walk Don't Run to the Doctor, Miles Hassell MD breaks down one of the most debated topics in nutrition: saturated fat. For decades, saturated fat has been blamed as a major cause of heart disease—but what if the evidence isn't as clear as we've been told? This episode explores the history behind dietary guidelines, the evolving food pyramid, and why current research is challenging long-held beliefs about fat, cholesterol, and overall health. You'll learn how whole foods, processed foods, and the broader "food matrix" play a much bigger role than simply avoiding saturated fat. If you've ever been confused about what to eat—or felt like nutrition advice keeps changing—this conversation will help you think more critically about the science behind it all. Key Takeaways Saturated fat has been widely criticized since the 1950s, but much of the original evidence is weak or inconclusive Recent research shows little to no clear link between saturated fat and heart disease or mortality Not all saturated fats—or foods containing them—are the same (whole foods vs. processed foods matter) Dairy, red meat, and other whole-food sources of saturated fat may be neutral or even beneficial Ultra-processed foods, refined sugars, and white flour have far stronger evidence of harm Overall diet quality, lifestyle, and metabolic health matter far more than focusing on a single nutrient     [1] Talukdar, J.

Each page of Ancient Spells and Incantations holds verses adapted from text unearthed through extensive research—grimoires, letters, and trial transcripts from across the ages and around the world. Many of these were tucked away in university libraries not easily accessible even to one actively in search of them. Enid Baxter Ryce painstakingly researched this collection, finding fragments from across the centuries.Translating some from Latin and Old English herself, Enid has made the spells accessible to today's witches. What was once whispered or chanted, spiraling in cursive, or carved in stone, still echoes like a song. The words that survived connect us to that ancient magic, and we can feel the truth and power.As we marvel at these ancient magical words, we think of our ancestors. Thanks to them, scraps of papyrus, shards of pottery, secret books, and hissed recipes can, hundreds of years later, still show themselves to those who seek them.Find the book and Enid:Website: https://enidryce.com/Social Media: @enidryce on social mediaShops: https://enidryce.com/store-1Pre-Order Ancient Spells and Incantations: https://bookshop.org/p/books/ancient-spells-and-incantations-echoes-of-magic-through-the-ages-and-across-cultures-enid-baxter-ryce/04275e35fceb231a or anywhere books are sold!Enid Baxter Ryce is a writer, artist, and filmmaker who has exhibited at museums internationally, including the National Gallery of Art, the Getty, and the Arnolfini.

Originaire de la ville de Tamale au nord du pays, le sculpteur et peintre multidisciplinaire ghanéen Ibrahim Mahama a été le premier artiste africain à figurer en tête du classement 2025 de la revue ArtReview, l'un des palmarès les plus prestigieux du monde artistique qui liste chaque année les cent artistes contemporains les plus influents de la planète. Une récompense notamment due à ses œuvres gigantesques exposées aux quatre coins du globe, et qui interrogent les héritages coloniaux, la mémoire collective ainsi que l'économie mondiale. Nous sommes allés à sa rencontre dans son studio construit dans sa ville natale, où l'artiste met un point d'honneur à partager ses œuvres avec ses compatriotes. De notre correspondant de retour de Tamale, Cheveux hirsutes et barbe imposante, Ibrahim Mahama déambule, l'air rêveur, dans une grande halle faite de briques d'argile rouge. Il y a près de six ans, il a ouvert le studio Red Clay, une dizaine de kilomètres carrés de terrain situés aux abords de la ville de Tamale. Le visiteur qui pénètre dans l'une des nombreuses salles du complexe, lui, doit se préparer à lever les yeux vers le ciel pour pouvoir apprécier le gigantisme des œuvres exposées ici à l'image de ces deux murailles imposantes construites à partir de centaines de boîtes de cordonniers usagées récupérées à travers le Ghana. « Cette œuvre s'appelle Non-Orientable Nkansa. J'étais vraiment intéressé par l'idée qu'un objet, aussi fragile soit-il, nous permette de réfléchir au concept de la réparation. Les assembler en un bâtiment imposant nous pousse à réfléchir à nos souvenirs, notre histoire », explique l'artiste. Ses œuvres ont fait plusieurs fois le tour du monde Diplômé en 2013 de l'université de Kumasi, au Ghana, Ibrahim Mahama se fait connaître dans le monde de l'art occidental à 28 ans lors de la Biennale de Venise de 2015. Un grand nombre de ses œuvres ont fait plusieurs fois le tour du monde. Leur point de chute final, cependant, reste encore et toujours le studio Red Clay. « On a beau être des artistes qui produisent avec des matériaux venus du Sud global, la plupart de ce travail finit dans des collections occidentales. Dans ce studio, nous essayons autant que possible de créer un environnement dans lequel les populations locales, en particulier les enfants, puissent repenser le monde à partir de nombreuses perspectives », souligne le sculpteur et peintre.

L'artiste porte dans son travail des messages Outre la redistribution des richesses et du savoir, le travail d'Ibrahim Mahama vise à dénoncer les travers de la mondialisation et l'accaparement des ressources par les anciennes puissances coloniales. Un message que l'artiste transmet notamment en recouvrant des bâtiments entiers d'un assemblage de sacs en toile de jute, ceux-là même utilisés partout sur le globe pour transporter du cacao, du riz ou du charbon, ou encore en exposant ici, au studio Red Clay, de nombreuses carcasses de train. « Que représentent ces objets dans notre histoire collective ? Ces trains, par exemple, que représentaient-ils à chaque fois qu'ils allaient dans les mines et qu'ils transportaient de l'or, de la bauxite ou du manganèse jusqu'au port, puis en dehors de notre pays ? » questionne Ibrahim Mahama.

Artist William Powhida and Netvvrk Operations Director Penny Retica join me to discuss the 2026 Whitney Biennial, curated by Marcela Guerrero and Drew Sawyer. We walk through the show's major themes—human-animal relationships, infrastructure, economic critique, and the handmade.   Our conversation explores the possibilities brought forward by the biennial. Does it represent a search for art's utility in a moment of uncertainty? Is its focus on feeling over confrontation, a curatorial choice or a broader retreat? What are the consequences of omitting collaborative work and art showcasing decentralized resistance?  Like all good conversations, this one doesn't offer easy answers. We examine what the biennial reveals about the current moment, and in a time that feels directionless, that critical work can feel grounding.

LVAD patients are increasingly encountered in emergency rooms and ICUs, yet many clinicians remain uncertain about initial management. A recent JACC State-of-the-Art Review provides a practical framework for recognizing and treating LVAD emergencies, from pump thrombosis and right-heart failure to arrhythmias and GI bleeding. Key pearls: LVAD patients may lack a palpable pulse, Doppler is preferred for MAP measurement, and Chest compressions should not be delayed if cardiac arrest is confirmed. First check power connection Understanding pump parameters and echocardiographic clues can rapidly guide diagnosis and life-saving therapy.

In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. Kari Nadeau discuss the presence and health effects of microplastics in our bodies. Microplastics can enter our bodies through various environmental routes, including food, water, and air. They are in everyone's bodies to some degree.  Microplastics have been linked to health issues like stroke, cancer, and heart attacks. Simple actions like avoiding single-use plastics and processed foods can reduce microplastic levels in the blood by up to 80% in three months. Dr. Nadeau emphasizes the need for further research and consumer awareness to mitigate plastic pollution.   Key Takeaways: A microplastic, scientifically, is anything between 1 micron (the size of a red blood cell or an immune cell) to 5 millimeters (the size of a sesame seed). Anything smaller than that is a nanoplastic. Plastics are chemicals. Plastics, as we know them, did not exist before the 1940s. Now we see them in so many places, from healthcare to food to our clothing.  In the US, we are getting about a credit card's worth of plastic per week in what we eat. In Indonesia, it is more like a credit card amount per day. The amount varies around the world.    "We really need to think about air and water and soil as ways that these plastics can get into our bodies." —  Dr. Kari Nadeau   Episode References:  Environmental Working Group: https://www.ewg.org/  Jung YS, et al.

Air Date - 18 February 2026What was the power of words in ancient magical practices and how may they be applied to modern manifestation? My guest this week on Destination Unlimited, Enid Baxter Ryce, has assembled a collection of poetic spells and incantations that recount the rich lives of our ancestors, who were connected across cultures by their experience of the world as a magical place, who shared a belief, and who engaged in magical practices for manifestation, prophecy, love, protection, healing, curses, and even vengeance. Enid Baxter Ryce is a writer, artist, and filmmaker who has exhibited at museums internationally, including the National Gallery of Art, the Getty, and the Arnolfini. A descendant of three Salem witches, she comes from a long family history of natural magic practice. Enid has an MFA in visual arts and studied at Cooper Union, Yale University, and Claremont Graduate University.

2025'in son programında yılı Hyperallergic, Artsy, Canvas ve Art Review gibi dünya çapında sanat eleştirisi yayınlayan mecraların yılsonu raporlarıyla değerlendirirken, 2026'ın beklenen sanat olaylarına değiniyoruz. 

With contributions by Blake Smith, Roger Lancaster, David Moulton, Stephen Adubato, Amir Naaman, Ran Heilbrunn, Pierre d'Alancaisez, Travis Jeppesen, Oliver Davis, Yotam Feldman, and Marcas Lancaster. Today's world of PrEP, Pride parades, and gay marriage eclipses the wildest dreams of the sexual revolution. While it was formerly deviant to promote gay lifestyles, it is now 'problematic' to suggest that not all departures from the norm are in the homosexual's best interest. Amidst this excess, a new wave of discontentment rises among the once-keenest proponents of sexual progress: gay men. What happened in the transition from inversion to homosexuality, gayness, and queerness? Why do some gay men lament the freedoms afforded to them by sexual and social acceptance? Bold and daring, the essays in Inversion: Gay Life After the Homosexual (Verdurin, 2025) reflect on the vicious cycle of debasement, acceptance, sacrifice, and liberation that homosexuality has been stuck in for longer than it wishes to acknowledge. As gay culture fails to confront its history, it adopts hollow narratives of struggle. Some gay men fear losing their freedoms, some advocate for sexual restraint, while others, lost in the ever-expanding LGBTQIA+ 'community, ' continue to make maximalist ideological demands of those outside. These responses mark a fracture in gay life. If there is some essence to homosexual desire, how is it being served by today's gay culture and queer politics? Has the gay man - homosexual, queer, or inverted - rendered himself obsolete? Bringing together contributions by eleven leading thinkers, theorists, and critics who examine the consequences of pink-washing history, denial of sexual realities, and the memetic nature of desire, Inversion reclaims homosexuality's lost depth in an era of profound discontent. Fearless in its critique and challenging in its proposals, Inversion considers the cultural and political aspects of gay life after homosexuality as it battles with queerness and the allure of a reactionary return, pharmacologically fueled sexual degeneration, and existential dread. Pierre d'Alancaisez is a critic, curator, and researcher interested in the changing role of art and its social institutions. His writing has appeared in The Critic, ArtReview, The Spectator, and Compact. Amir Naaman worked as a mailman, a cook, a bookseller, a comics publisher, a house painter and is now a personal trainer at the gym. His first novel The Hummingbirds, a homosexual horror story, was published in 2020. Learn more about your ad choices.

Probst, Carsten www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Fazit

Dr Sharonne Hayes, Professor of cardiovascular medicine and founding director of Mayo Clinic women's heart clinic, and Dr. Marysia Tweet, Associate Professor of cardiovascular medicine, and co-leader of the Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection Registry and leader in women's heart health join the show for this amazing November chapter of Always on EM. They are world experts on Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection authoring over 60 peer reviewed articles on the topic and in this chapter we explore with them the pitfalls and pearls related to making this diagnosis in the ED. SCAD is an important cause of myocardial infarction especially in patients who would not otherwise seem to be at risk for heart attacks for example active young women without comorbidities, and its imperitive that we as emergency physicians are current on this diagnosis.   DONATE TO DR JIM GREGOIRE SCHOLARSHIP FUND To honor the life of Dr. Jim Gregoire, dear friend of this show, consider donating to his scholarship fund.

With Sotiria Liori, Attikon University Hospital, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens - Greece and Julie De Backer, Ghent University Hospital - Belgium. In this episode, Sotiria Liori and Julie De Backer discuss heart failure in adult congenital heart disease patients — covering how congenital lesions and prior repairs shape epidemiology and mechanisms (ventricular remodeling, valvular and conduit dysfunction, arrhythmias), as well as clinical assessment with imaging, biomarkers, and hemodynamics. They outline management with guideline-directed therapy, rhythm considerations, indications for advanced therapies (MCS and transplant), and pregnancy counseling. The episode also highlights multidisciplinary care models and key evidence gaps. Proposed reading:  General Principles of Heart Failure Management in Adult Congenital Heart Disease.

A month after the opening of this year's Venice Architecture Biennale, we've invited three critics to come on the show to help make sense of what was arguably one of the most content overloaded, and curitorially ambiguous biennales in recent memory.Since its inception in 1980, The Venice architecture biennale has set the tone for global discourse on contemporary design and urbanism, and yet the agenda of this year's exhibition, curated by the MIT professor and recent guest of this podcast, Carlo Ratti, seemed surprisingly muted and anodyne, calling for architects to marshal the quote intelligence of the natural, artificial and collective”Still there are more complex although perhaps unintended themes to the biennale this year, including the emerging relationship between unaccountable technologies and authoritarianism, quantatitve expansion as a proxy for genuine inclusivity, and perhaps most importantly, the exchange of an independent curatorial vision for an apparent new ideal of algorithmically determined experience.

Nihal El Aasar discusses her recent essay, titled Left-wing Melancholia, which has been published as part of Parapraxis Magazine's Palestine issue. In the essay Nihal explores the responses to the ongoing genocide in Gaza from people in other Arab countries. In her words “there have been certain weighted expectations for the Arab masses to react more strongly and urgently to this genocide. Some have heeded the call; some have tried and failed.” She draws on the work of people like Ghassan Kanafani, Nouri Gana, and friend of the podcast Hannah Proctor, to explore the relationship between counterrevolution in Egypt, US Imperialism, and Palestinian liberation through the lens of Arab political subjectivity. Nihal El Aasar is an Egyptian researcher living in London. Her writing has been published by outlets such as Protean, Africa Is A Country, ArtReview, and elsewhere.

Re-Air from August 15,2024 There's so much culture now that it can be hard just to keep up, let alone to think about it all as a whole… but that only makes the effort to find perspective more important. It's not always clear when you're in the thick of it, but almost certainly when people in the future look back, they will see more clearly than we do the common concerns beneath the fragmented surface of the culture of the 2020s. The literary scholar Anna Kornbluh has an idea about all this. She argues that what characterizes the art of the now might be, in fact a particular hunger for now-ness. Her book published this year by Verso is called “Immediacy or the Style of Too Late Capitalism.” Across a broad array of culture, both high and low, Kornbluh tracks, as she writes, “immediacy as a master category for making sense of 21st century cultural production.” She shows how the drive towards immediacy can help explain a vast array of developments and asks why. It's a thin but challenging book. Immediacy was Ben Davis's pick for our summer reading list, and we're not the only ones who has found it useful. In the magazine Art Review, author Alex Niven wrote that Kornbluh has done better than almost anyone in recent memory to define the elusive claustrophobic spirit of the age. It's heady terrain to explore, and this week on the podcast, Kornbluh joins Ben Davis to guide us through it.

CardioNerds (Dr. Dan Ambinder and Dr. Rick Ferraro) join Dr. Mansi Oberoi and Dr. Mohan Gudiwada from the University of Nebraska Medical Center discuss a case of constrictive pericarditis. Expert commentary is provided by Dr. Adam Burdorf, who serves as the Program Director for the Cardiovascular Medicine Fellowship at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. The case discussed involves a 76-year-old woman with a history of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and squamous cell carcinoma was admitted to the hospital for worsening shortness of breath, swelling in lower extremities, hyponatremia, and urinary tract infection. CT chest to evaluate for pulmonary embolism showed incidental pericardial calcifications; the heart failure team was consulted for the management of her decompensated heart failure. Echo images were nondiagnostic. Subsequent invasive hemodynamic monitoring showed elevated right and left-sided filling pressures, diastolic equalization of LV and RV pressures, and positive RV square root sign with ventricular interdependence. Cardiac MRI showed septal flattening on deep inspiration and septal bounce, suggestive of interventricular dependence. After a heart team discussion and with shared-decision making the patient opted for medical management owing to her comorbidities and frailty.

Ep.205 Kahlil Robert Irving was born in San Diego, in 1992, but spent most of his youth in St. Louis, Missouri. He attended the Kansas City Art Institute, where he received his BFA, and earned his MFA from the Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Art at Washington University in St. Louis. Irving's work has been featured in numerous group exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Mass MOCA, the New Museum, and the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis. In February of 2024, Irving opened concurrent exhibitions at the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art (AnticKS & MOdels + My theater to your eyes) and Archeology of the Present at the Kemper Art Museum in Saint Louis and both will be on view until July. Like many artists today, Irving works in many media, including sculpture, painting, and collage. His collages are largely influenced by contemporary digital culture. He gathers different pieces of digital material ranging from photographs he takes, to items he sees online to assemble these works. While appearing chaotic at times, he uses this method to subtly describe a view of how to navigate being Black in the United States. Irving's range of ideas and materials shine through his practice—as he combines contemporary memes with evolved ceramic techniques, he shows how different ceramic materials can be fashioned into looking like objects from life. Throughout his practice, Irving focuses on Black joy while also shedding a light on violent white people and their ideologies.

On contemporary art.   Critic and editor at Art Review, JJ Charlesworth, joins us to talk about why so much contemporary art is bad. We discuss: Why is art no longer about beauty? Are we stuck between art that is either superficial or hyperpolitical? Why has there been a turn towards the mystical and irrational in art? How are ideas of the indigenous and the ecological represented in art today? Is there a romantic revolt against reason and is it new?

CardioNerds (Dr. Josh Saef, Dr. Agnes Koczo) join Dr. Iva Minga, Dr. Kifah Hussain, and Dr. Kevin Lee from the University of Chicago - NorthShore to discuss a case of unrepaired congenital heart disease that involves D-TGA complicated by Eisenmenger syndrome. The ECPR was provided by Dr. Michael Earing. Audio editing by Dr. Akiva Rosenzveig. A 25-year-old woman with an unknown congenital heart disease that was diagnosed in infancy in Pakistan presents to the hospital for abdominal pain and weakness. She is found to be profoundly hypoxemic, and an echocardiogram revealed D-transposition of the great arteries (D-TGA) with a large VSD. As this was not repaired in childhood, she has unfortunately developed Eisenmenger syndrome with elevated pulmonary vascular resistance. She is stabilized and treated medically for her cyanotic heart disease. Unfortunately given the severity and late presentation of her disease, she has limited long-term options for care. CardioNerds discuss the diagnosis of D-TGA and Eisenmenger's syndrome, as well as long-term management and complications associated with this entity.

Case Media - Unrepaired Congenital Heart Disease Pearls - Unrepaired Congenital Heart Disease Early diagnosis of cyanotic congenital heart disease is paramount for treatment and prevention of future complications. Adult congenital heart disease requires a multi-disciplinary team for management in consultation with an adult congenital cardiology specialist. Eisenmenger syndrome is related to multiple systemic complications and has a high rate of mortality. Advancement in PAH medical management can offer noninvasive treatment options for some patients. Transthoracic echocardiography is the cornerstone for diagnosis. Other modalities (e.g. cardiac CT, cardiac MRI, invasive catheterization) can aid in diagnosis and management. Show Notes - Unrepaired Congenital Heart Disease Cyanotic congenital heart disease is often diagnosed in infancy and timely treatment is paramount. As these diseases progress over time, pulmonary over-circulation often pulmonary hypertension (PH), elevated pulmonary vascular resistance, and Eisenmenger syndrome will develop, which preclude definitive treatment. For D-TGA, before PH develops, there are surgical options such as the arterial switch procedure that can treat the disease. Unfortunately, once Eisenmenger syndrome develops, there are multiple systemic complications including hyperviscosity, thrombosis, bleeding, kidney disease, iron deficiency, arrhythmias, etc. that can occur. Management requires a multi-disciplinary team including an adult congenital cardiology specialist, but mortality rates remain high, with median survival reduced by 20 years, worse with complex cardiac defects. Bosentan is a first line treatment for patients with Eisenmenger syndrome, with PDE-5 inhibitors as a second line either by themselves or in combination with bosentan. Data are currently limited for latest-generation PH treatments in Eisenmenger syndrome and further study is still underway. References Ferencz C. Transposition of the great vessels.
