An Irish cardiac tech company has announced it is to create 20 jobs over the next three years, while targeting an additional €3m in revenue, as it expands overseas. The Louth based business will also be rebranding as Heart Rhythm International will initially target the UK, where they expect to add 30 additional hospitals and approximately 50,000 additional patients to their network before 2029. They will also be looking to bring their innovative cardiac care solution to Australia/ New Zealand and the US health markets in the coming years. Previously known as Heart Rhythm Ireland, the company operates a cloud-based cardiac rhythm management platform that supports patients as well as hospitals, clinicians and cardiac device manufacturers. Their system makes patient cardiac device information available in real time, delivering accurate, accessible and actionable data to patients and their medical teams. This improves patient outcomes by making device data more accessible, enabling timely clinical decisions and more coordinated care. HRI's system also provides patients with secure access to their information anytime and anywhere, making it easier to share critical data with healthcare providers in emergencies. The company is currently developing AI and predictive analytics capabilities, which are expected to further enhance the platform by supporting earlier insights and more personalised cardiac care in the future. Heart Rhythm International already supports over 65,000 patients across Ireland, with its platform in use at more than 50 cardiac hospitals nationwide. The company provides national coverage, working with leading institutions such as the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital, Bon Secours Health System, Beaumont Hospital, Mater Private Network, University Hospital Galway, Blackrock Health, and Cork University Hospital. HRI expects to grow its team to 30 personnel in the coming years. For more than 15 years, HRI has served as Ireland's national electronic health record for cardiac devices, maintaining a registry of over 100,000 implant procedures and nearly one million clinical follow-up records. Alongside its commercial expansion, HRI is actively contributing to international research and innovation projects. It is a partner in Project CARAMEL, a €12 million initiative funded under the EU Horizon Europe programme, helping to develop AI-powered predictive models for cardiovascular risk in women aged 40 to 60. HRI is also an industry partner in the new Health Frontiers Technology Innovation Centre (HF-TIC), led by Ulster University and supported by €9.1 million in PEACEPLUS funding. Both initiatives reinforce HRI's leadership in AI-driven digital health innovation on an international scale. "Every 20 seconds, someone receives a cardiac implant, but the systems supporting their care haven't kept pace," said Robert Kelly, CEO of HRI. "HRI was set up to change that, by operating at the centre of a unique eco-system, supporting patients, hospitals and clinicians and cardiac device manufacturers. Through our system, patients receive greater peace of mind and better health outcomes, while medical personnel can make better-informed and more efficient decisions. Ultimately that improves patient care and helps save lives. "We've already demonstrated how we can enhance cardiac care in Ireland by supporting over 65,000 patients and working with more than 50 hospitals nationwide. Now, we're bringing that capability overseas. A key strength of our system is that it was built on scalable, cloud-based infrastructure in partnership with IBM, allowing it to be rapidly deployed by healthcare providers anywhere in the world." "We're managing our expansion step by step, focusing initially on the UK market. However, we are already discussing partnerships and opportunities with healthcare providers in the US and Australia/ New Zealand. We believe there is real opportunity for HRI to grow, to support more patients and doctors overseas, whi...

As a child, Molly Pratt had a fear of medical facilities. Today, you'll hear how her perspective changed. She's now a BSN, RN in Pediatrics at Beaumont Children's at Corewell Health's Beaumont Hospital, Royal Oak, Michigan.Molly was an active 16 year-old high school student when she was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Her first round of treatment involved outpatient chemotherapy, but she eventually needed a bone marrow transplant, which she received in 2017. Her priorities shifted from extracurricular activities and college tours to her inpatient recovery.But her hospital stay changed her perspective. Her nurses became her social circle, playing card games with them late at night. Inspired by her care, she decided to follow in their footsteps. She now provides the same level of compassion to the kids she works with. She's able to relate to their experiences, having been through the process herself. In fact, she just had her final 6 month checkup, and she got to spend time with her patients in clinic, as a patient herself.Molly leaves us with inspiring advice about not taking any day for granted, and having the confidence to accomplish whatever it is you set your mind to.ResourcesNational Bone Marrow Transplant Link - (800) LINK-BMT, or (800) 546-5268.nbmtLINK Website: https://www.nbmtlink.org/nbmtLINK Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/nbmtLINKnbmtLINK YouTube Page can be found by clicking here.Thank you to our sponsors.

What's the fastest growing sport in America? It's good for your mind, body and soul. If you guessed pickleball, you're right. And if you've never played the game, it's time to pick up a paddle and reap the benefits of this amazing sport. Today's guest is Jeff Kline, Director of Sports Medicine at Corewell Health's Beaumont Hospital, Taylor. He'll break down the specific health benefits and provide tips on avoiding injuries.
A chairde, At the start of 2023 I was going about life normally, working away, planning for the future, enjoying time with friends, family and looking forward. In what seemed like a blink of the eye, all that changed. I had been experiencing persistent neck pain for months, going to physiotherapy and putting it down to an old injury or sleeping in a certain way. When physio didn't resolve it, I sought a referral for an MRI. Again, I and all around me assumed it would relate to an old injury and nothing else was on our radar. The results of the MRI floored me. It showed a large tumour growing inside my spinal cord. This tumour was located at the top of my spine, just below my brain stem. An extremely rare type of tumour, in a precarious location for treatment or surgery. The tumour sat in what is described as the ‘prime real estate' area of the spine and surgery was the only option to remove it. Without this surgery I would have been left in a wheelchair, with further degenerative impacts thereafter. As you can imagine as a young, fit woman, this was so difficult to process. What made it even harder was the fact that the medical consultations that followed presented life altering risks and scenarios. I was told it might be something I'd have live with and manage, that there was a high possibility that they couldn't remove the tumour due to its location. The glimmer of hope I had rested with my surgical team. I was referred to the top neurosurgical team in the country in Beaumont Hospital. Given the risks associated with the surgery, this team were the only team that could take this on. My only hope. Within 5 weeks of diagnosis I underwent a gruelling, highly precise, 12 hour surgery. The outcome of which was nothing short of a miracle. A miracle I put down to the skills, experience, and dedication of my medical team (and prayers of many!). They were able to remove all of the tumour, and while I had and have a journey to travel in terms of recovery, this was the outcome I had wished, prayed and longed for. Due to the invasive nature of the surgery, I have had to learn to walk again and regain the use of my arms and hands. I vowed before I went into hospital that, if by a miracle it could be removed, that I would do my very best to raise money for those who saved my life. My surgeon Professor Bolger asked that the money would go to the neurosurgery research and development fund in Beaumont. I plan on organising a fundraising concert when I am physically a bit more recovered but until then I wanted to get the ball rolling with a gofundme page. This money will contribute to the amazing work of that team and department, who quite literally do lifesaving work every day. We all know how broken the health system is, so these funds are so needed. If I can contribute in any tiny way to aiding the amazing work they do in Beaumont it's the very least that I can do as I'll never be able to repay them fully. To my family, friends and all those who prayed, sent cards, lit candles, kept me in their thoughts and continue to do so, thank you will never seem enough but thank you for everything. Any donations are truly appreciated and keep your eyes peeled for concert details in the new year. https://gofund.me/16307bf1

In Ireland, liver disease is now one of the top five killers of patients, with more than half of adults living with chronic liver disease. One consultant at Beaumont Hospital is bringing awareness to what he describes as terrifying data among alcohol consumers. Speaking to Ciara this morning was Professor John Ryan, Consultant Hepatologist at Beaumont Hospital.
Dr. Filip Ionescu (hematology-oncology fellow at Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, FL), Dr. Teodora Donisan (cardiology fellow at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN and CardioNerds House Thomas chief), Dr. Sarah Waliany (internal medicine chief resident at Stanford University in Palo Alto, CA), Dr. Dinu Balanescu (internal medicine chief resident at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, MI) and Dr. Amit Goyal (structural interventional cardiology fellow at the Cleveland Clinic, in Cleveland, OH and CardioNerds Co-Founder), discuss the cardiotoxicities of common cancer treatments with Dr. Susan Dent, a medical oncologist and one of the founders of the field of Cardio-Oncology. Using the recently published ESC Guidelines on cardio-oncology, they cover cardiovascular risk stratification in oncology patients, pretreatment testing, as well as prevention and management of established cardiotoxicity resulting from anthracyclines, trastuzumab, and fluoropyrimidines. They touch on the unique aspects of cardio-oncology encountered in patients with breast cancer, rectal cancer, and lung cancer, who are frequently the recipients of multiple cardiotoxic treatments.

This episode is supported by a grant from Pfizer Inc. This CardioNerds Cardio-Oncology series is a multi-institutional collaboration made possible by contributions of stellar fellow leads and expert faculty from several programs, led by series co-chairs, Dr. Giselle Suero Abreu, Dr. Dinu Balanescu, and Dr. Teodora Donisan.

Pearls and Quotes - Cancer Therapy-Related Cardiac Dysfunction (CTRCD) – The Oncologist Perspective with Dr. Susan Dent Formal cardiovascular risk stratification must be performed prior to initiating a potentially cardiotoxic anticancer treatment regimen. Considering both drug toxicity and patient-related factors (e.g., age, smoking, hypertension etc) is important. Anthracyclines affect the cardiomyocyte in complex ways which lead to a largely irreversible cardiomyopathy. All patients should have a pretreatment echocardiogram and ECG. Trastuzumab cardiotoxicity, by contrast, is more like stunning the myocardium, which manifests as a reversible decrease in left ventricular ejection fraction which generally normalizes upon discontinuation of the drug. The treatment of chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy should involve interdisciplinary discussions and shared decision making with the patient. Beyond guideline-directed medical therapy of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, management can include temporarily holding or permanently discontinuing the offending agent. Fluoropyrimidine-associated cardiotoxicity manifests as cardiac ischemia from coronary vasospasm. A 5FU infusion is essentially a stress test as it tends to unmask clinically silent atherosclerosis. Show notes What is the basic pretreatment assessment of any oncology patient who is to receive a potentially cardiotoxic regimen? Awareness and management of the cardiovascular toxicity of oncology treatments are of paramount importance to be able to deliver treatment safely and to achieve maximal efficacy guided by an expert multidisciplinary team. Thanks to Dr. Dent and her colleagues' work, this year we have seen the publication of the first Cardio-Oncology guideline (1). Perhaps the most important recommendation is that cancer patients about to start a cardiotoxic regimen should undergo formal cardiovascular risk stratification by considering both the adverse profile of the planned treatment...

(6:23) Over 35 years, Schram continues to be emotionally invested in his work because he realizes the importance of honoring a loved one's memory. He and his wife have their own experience with tragedy, having lost an infant themselves. (8:59) The work can be spiritually taxing, but Schram has a solid support system. He leans heavily on his faith, as well as on his wife and kids, who ground him and remind him of the value of his ministry. (13:27) Schram describes the beauty of the Catholic funeral rites, as well as the impact caring for the dead can have on the living. He describes interactions with families of those he's buried, who thank him time and time again. (18:25) Bob Hojnacki, director of Catholic Funeral and Cemetery Services for the Archdiocese of Detroit, discusses what makes his ministry unique, from spiritual care to financial assistance for families who've suffered a loved one's loss. Hojnacki talks about the archdiocese's six Catholic cemeteries, as well as what goes into a funeral vigil, Mass and rite of committal. (20:43) Fr. Bartoszek tells the story of a 10-year-old boy, Michael, who was dying of HIV. A spirited youngster, Michael was an inspiration to his classmates and friends. One day, Michael asked Fr. Bartoszek what it would be like when he died. Fr. Bartoszek replied that "the angels will come and take you home." At the end of Michael's life, he reported a vision of the angels, just as Fr. Bartoszek had said. (25:52) Fr. Bartoszek talks about his ministry to both Catholics and non-Catholics. The most fulfilling part, he says, is when he can share God's love and mercy with a dying person who didn't think they deserved it. He helps people let go of grudges, learn to forgive, and learn to accept God's mercy for them. (28:07) It's this profound love and mercy that's at the heart of Fr. Bartoszek's ministry, every anointing, every funeral Mass, every burial and every tear. It's the hope of the resurrection that animates the Church's ministry to the dying, and the ineffable message that Jesus' love is always stronger than death.

CardioNerds (Amit Goyal and Dan Ambinder), Series Co-Chair Dr. Dinu Balanescu (Academy House Faculty and Chief Resident at Beaumont Hospital), and Episode Lead Dr. Manu Mysore (Former CardioNerds Ambassador and Cardiologist at the University of Maryland) discuss The Need for Cardio-Oncology with Expert Faculty Dr. Bonnie Ky, Director of Penn Cardio-Oncology Translation Center of Excellence and Editor-in-Chief of JACC CardioOncology. Audio editing by CardioNerds Academy Intern, student doctor Yousif Arif. Cardio-Oncology is a burgeoning field. There is a need for cardiologists and oncologists to work together in a multidisciplinary fashion using multi-modality imaging and personalized medicine. Cardiologists in particular need to understand basic oncology, anti-cancer therapies, and address risk factors which play an important role in oncologic progression and/or adverse cardiovascular events. The field can only be furthered by research with a focus on specificity of endpoints and multidisciplinary collaboration. The future of the field is in the hands of investigators and clinicians alike. This CardioNerds Cardio-Oncology series is a multi-institutional collaboration made possible by contributions of stellar fellow leads and expert faculty from several programs, led by series co-chairs, Dr. Giselle Suero Abreu, Dr. Dinu Balanescu, and Dr. Teodora Donisan.

Pearls and Quotes - The Need for Cardio-Oncology with Dr. Bonnie Ky Over 20 million new cancer cases are expected to be added annually to the global burden as novel therapies have improved cancer survivorship. These therapies may be directly associated with cardiotoxicity or may prolong life to allow time for cardiovascular disease to develop in cancer survivors.Hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and obesity are modifiable risk factors that portend a poor prognosis from both an oncologic and cardiovascular perspective.Multi-modality imaging is useful in risk assessment within oncology, with echocardiography (including strain imaging) having a class I indication prior to treatment with many chemotherapeutics.Diverse trial enrollment is essential for furthering the science within Cardio-Oncology to translate clinically into personalized management.There is a need to strengthen a pipeline of young physicians and scientists to further the field of Cardio-Oncology. Show notes - The Need for Cardio-Oncology with Dr. Bonnie Ky Why should cardiologists have familiarity with cancer therapies?By 2030, 23.6 million new cancer cases are expected to be added annually to the global burden.1Novel therapies and/or combination therapies have improved cancer survivorship but are associated with cardiovascular complications, especially in the elderly and those with pre-existing cardiovascular comorbidities.2Cardiologists currently lack an understanding of oncologic treatments, with poor knowledge of dosing protocols and cardiotoxicities. This can lead to less aggressive protocols administered, as well as early discontinuation of important treatments for both oncologic and cardiovascular conditions.3A multidisciplinary collaboration between pharmacists, cardiologists, oncologists, and nurse navigators is needed to improve treatment decision-making for the benefit of cancer patients.Cardiologists should have basic knowledge and understanding of some of the commonly used chemotherapeutic drugs and any adverse events during treatment courses based on clinical trials, FDA reporting, and epidemiological data.JACC Cardio-Oncology seeks to disseminate knowledge through live courses such as Advancing the Care of the Oncology Patient and journal-associated podcasts,
In today's episode, we have Nada Kinaya – Beaumont Health Nada works for palliative care at Beaumont Hospital. Palliative care is a service in the hospital that provides care for patients with chronic diseases. Part of what we do is talk about advance care planning. Which is preparing the patient for what can happen in an emergency. It's a legal document that is only used if a patient is not able to speak for themselves. Advance care is a document that states a patient's medical wishes and Names they surrogate health decision makers. I am the chair of Advance care planning committee at Beaumont Troy. #keepingupwiththechaldeans #chaldeanDetroitMichigan #kuwtc Keeping Up With The Chaldeans is a weekly Podcast show based on Chaldean Entrepreneurs. We showcase your work in hopes that we can share the business amongst the community. Strength in numbers. That is our goal with the show!

Atrial fibrillation may reach pandemic proportions in the next 2-3 decades. Factors that drive this phenomenon have been studied in predominantly White populations, leading to a significant underrepresentation of certain racial/ethnic groups in atrial fibrillation epidemiological studies. Most atrial fibrillation epidemiology studies suggest that the non-Hispanic Black population has a lower incidence/prevalence of atrial fibrillation, despite a higher risk factor burden (“Afib paradox”). At the same time, non-Hispanic Blacks have worse outcomes compared to the White population and underrepresented populations and women are less likely than White men to receive optimal guideline-based therapies for atrial fibrillation. In this episode, CardioNerds Dr. Kelly Arps (Co-Chair Atrial Fibrillation series, Cardiology fellow at Duke University), Dr. Colin Blumenthal (Co-Chair Atrial Fibrillation series, CardioNerds Academy House Faculty Leader for House Jones, Cardiology fellow at the University of Pennsylvania), and Dr. Dinu-Valentin Balanescu (CardioNerds Academy Faculty for House Jones, rising internal medicine chief resident at Beaumont Hospital), discuss with Dr. Larry Jackson (cardiac electrophysiologist and Vice Chief of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Division of Cardiology at Duke University) about atrial fibrillation epidemiology and health equity, challenges and possible solutions to improving diversity in clinical trials, and race/ethnicity/sex/gender differences in the detection, management, and outcomes of atrial fibrillation.

Pearls and Quotes - Atrial Fibrillation: Epidemiology, Health Equity, & The Double Paradox Atrial fibrillation confers an enormous public health burden. It is estimated that it will reach pandemic proportions over the next 30 years, with potentially 100-180 million people worldwide suffering from this condition.Large epidemiological atrial fibrillation registries have very small populations of underrepresented groups. More diverse enrollment in clinical trials is essential and may be obtained by increasing diversity among research staff, principal investigators, and steering committees, and use of mobile/telehealth technologies to remove bias related to differences in presentation. The CardioNerds Clinical Trials Network specifically aims pair equitable trial enrollment with trainee personal and professional development.Most atrial fibrillation epidemiology studies suggest that the non-Hispanic Black population has lower incidence/prevalence of atrial fibrillation, despite higher risk factor burden. This “paradox” is likely due to a multifactorial process, with clinical differences, socioeconomic factors, and genetic factors contributing.Underrepresented populations are less likely than White patients to receive optimal guideline-based management of atrial fibrillation.
This question refers to Sections 3.1 of the 2021 ESC CV Prevention Guidelines. The question is asked by CardioNerds Academy Intern, student Dr. Hirsh Elhence, answered first by internal medicine resident at Beaumont Hospital and soon to be Mayo Clinic cardiology fellow and Dr. Teodora Donisan and then by expert faculty Dr. Eugene Yang. Dr. Yang is professor of medicine of the University of Washington where he is medical director of the Eastside Specialty Center and the co-Director of the Cardiovascular Wellness and Prevention Program. Dr. Yang is former Governor of the ACC Washington Chapter and current chair of the ACC Prevention of CVD Section. The CardioNerds Decipher The Guidelines Series for the 2021 ESC CV Prevention Guidelines represents a collaboration with the ACC Prevention of CVD Section, the National Lipid Association, and Preventive Cardiovascular Nurses Association. Question #8 Please read the following patient vignettes and choose the FALSE statement. A. A 39-year-old man who comes for a regular physical, has normal vitals and weight, denies any significant past medical or family history – does not need systematic cardiovascular disease (CVD) assessment. B. A 39-year-old woman who comes for a regular physical, has normal vitals and weight, and has a history of radical hysterectomy (no other significant past medical or family history) – could benefit from systematic or opportunistic CVD assessment. C. A 39-year-old woman who comes for a regular physical, has normal vitals except for a BMI of 27 kg/m2 and a family history of hypertension – requires a systematic global CVD assessment. D. A 39-year-old man who comes for a regular physical, has normal vitals and weight, and has a personal history of type I diabetes – requires a systematic global CVD assessment. Answer #8 Option A is an accurate statement, as systematic CVD risk assessment is not recommended in men < 40 years-old and women < 50 years-old, if they have no known cardiovascular (CV) risk factors. (Class III, level C) Option B is an accurate statement, as this patient had a radical hysterectomy, which means the ovaries have been removed as well and she is considered postmenopausal. Systematic or opportunistic CV risk assessment can be considered in men > 40 years-old and women > 50 years-old or postmenopausal, even in the absence of known ASCVD risk factors. (Class IIb, level C) Option C is a false statement and thus the correct answer, as the recommendations for global screening in this patient are not as strong and would require shared decision making. Opportunistic screening of blood pressure can be considered in her, as she is at risk for developing hypertension. Blood pressure screening should be considered in adults at risk for the development of hypertension, such as those who are overweight or with a known family history of hypertension. (Class IIa, level B) Option D is an accurate statement, as systematic global CVD risk assessment is recommended in individuals with any major vascular risk factor (i.e., family history of premature CVD, familial hyperlipidemia, CVD risk factors such as smoking, arterial hypertension, DM, raised lipid level, obesity, or comorbidities increasing CVD risk). (Class I, level C) Additional learning points: Do you know the difference between opportunistic and systematic CVD screening? Opportunistic screening refers to screening without a predefined strategy when the patient presents for different reasons. This is an effective and recommended way to screen for ASCVD risk factors, although it is unclear if it leads to benefits in clinical outcomes. Systematic screening can be done following a clear strategy formally evaluating either the general population or targeted subpopulations (i.e., type 2 diabetics or patients with significant family history of CVD). Systematic screening results in improvements in risk factors but has no proven effect on CVD outcomes. Main Takeaway
