(AURN News) - The Association of Black Cardiologists (ABC) has named Dr. Anthony Fletcher as its 20th president, putting the Arkansas interventional cardiologist at the forefront of the organization's efforts to reduce cardiovascular disease and increase diversity in the cardiology field. Dr. Fletcher, who practices at the CHI St. Vincent Cardiology and Medicine Clinic in Little Rock, assumes leadership of the national organization as it aims to boost awareness about heart health, advocate for more Black cardiologists and researchers, and establish an endowment to fund its programs. "He is poised to lead the organization and drive its national agenda to achieve a reduction in cardiovascular disease through awareness and education; advocating for a more diverse workforce inclusive of more African American cardiologists, researchers, and providers; and, to establish an endowment that advances the ABC's agenda and programs," the ABC said in a statement. A graduate of Xavier University and the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, Fletcher brings decades of experience in interventional cardiology to his new role helming the 2,000-member organization. The ABC, founded in 1974, says its mission is "promoting heart health and wellness in minority communities" across the United States.

Welcome to Heart 2 Heart: Conversations to Heal a Broken Heart hosted Dr. Columbus Batiste. Today's Special Guest is Dr. Kim Williams and the focus will be Dr. Columbus Batiste is a board-certified Interventional Cardiologist who has been an active lifestyle and whole food plant-based advocate for over a decade. His dedication to the science of lifestyle has led him to participate in multiple research studies and review articles which have confirmed the benefit of a plant-based diet. To bring the science to his patient's bedside, Dr. Batiste crafted a unique program in which he performed gave bi-monthly lectures and a monthly cooking class entitled: CATH lab. The CATH lab is a procedural room where Interventional Cardiologists bring patients to provide treatment to open vessels and stop heart attacks in their throws while they are occurring. Dr. Batiste re-purposed the Cath lab and transformed the name into Cooking Alternative To Health (CATH) a series of cooking classes, that provided attendees information on how to maintain flavor and combine foods to restore blood flow and alleviate symptoms through with the power of nutrition. Dr. Batiste has additionally explored the science regarding the relationship between mental health and relationships in heart disease. Over the course of his career Dr. Batiste learned to achieve mental, physical, and spiritual health In this inaugural episode Dr Batiste is joined by Dr. Kim Williams, past president of the American College of Cardiology and the American Society of Nuclear Cardiology, former chairman of the board of directors of the Association of Black Cardiologists and current Chair of University of Louisville Department of Medicine. This will be a special Heart 2 Heart bringing two Cardiologists together in time for American Heart and Black History Month. This is truly a don't miss episode as we will discuss a little history, the state of cardiovascular health in America, women's heart health, disparities in cardiovascular health, and the healing power of resiliency and discuss the power of self-acceptance as a New Year's Resolution. The perfect episode to launch . The docs will discuss a special upcoming conference focusing on health disparities, social determinants of health, and the role of plant-based nutrition.

This week, please join Associate Editors Mercedes Carnethon and Karol Watson, as well as Guest Editor Fatima Rodriguez as they present the 2nd annual Disparities Issue. Then join Rishi Wadhera and Ashley Kyalwazi as they discuss their article "Disparities in Cardiovascular Mortality Between Black and White Adults in the United States, 1999 to 2019." Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Well, good day listeners. I'm Mercedes Carnethon, and I'm joined by my fellow editors, Karol Watson, and Fatima Rodriguez, Associate Editor and Guest Editor for Circulation. And we'd like to welcome you to Circulation on the Run, for our second annual disparities issue. We have a lot of articles to discuss today, many of which we'll summarize, but we encourage you to access the issue and read the articles. First off, Fatima, I believe you have a paper to discuss. Dr. Fatima Rodriguez: Sure thing, Merci. My first paper is a thought provoking article by Nilay Shah, and co-authors from Northwestern University, that examine factors associated with the racial gap in premature cardiovascular disease. Dr. Fatima Rodriguez: This study used data from a well-known cardiac cohort, that aims to identify factors that begin in young adulthood and predict the development of future coronary artery risk. The objective of this study was to examine the relative contributions of clinical versus social factors, in explaining the persistent black/white gap in premature cardiovascular disease. After following around 5,000 black and white study participants for a median of 34 years, black men and women had a higher risk of premature cardiovascular disease. After controlling for multi-level individual and neighborhood level factors measured in young adulthood, the racial differences in premature cardiovascular disease were attenuated. Dr. Fatima Rodriguez: The authors found that the greater contributors to this racial disparity were not only clinical factors, but also neighborhood and socioeconomic factors. The relative explanatory power of each of these factors varied by men and women. This is really noteworthy, since we spent so much of our time in clinical medicine, focusing on identifying and managing traditional risk factors. But in reality, these structural factors and inequities are critically important to address, and contribute to differences in clinical risk factors downstream. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Thank you so much, Fatima. That was a really excellent summary. And now, I'm turning to you, Karol. I'd love to hear what you're going to be talking about today. Dr. Karol Watson: I'd like to discuss the paper, Association of Neighborhood Level Material Deprivation with Atrial Fibrillation Care in a Single-Payer Healthcare System Population Based Cohort Study. This is by Dr. Abdel-Qadir and colleagues. Dr. Karol Watson: So in this study, the author sought to determine whether there was an association between neighborhood material deprivation, by that we mean, inability to attain the basic needs of life and clinical outcomes, in individuals with atrial fibrillation. The kicker here is, they did this in an area with universal healthcare. So they wanted to see, if you took away the differences between the ability to see a physician or get your drugs paid for, if you would see any disparities. Dr. Karol Watson: So they performed a population based cohort study, individuals over the age of 66 years of age with atrial fibrillation, in the Canadian province of Ontario. They have universal healthcare there, and full drug coverage for anyone over 65. The primary exposure was neighborhood material deprivation. That's a metric used to estimate the inability to attain basic material needs, like healthy foods, safe housing. Neighborhoods were categorized by quintile, from the least deprived, quintile one, to the most deprived, quintile five. They find that, among about 350,000 individuals with atrial fibrillation, their mean age was 79, and about half of them were women. Those in the most deprived neighborhoods, quintile five, had a higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and non-cardiovascular work comorbidity, relative to those who were in the least deprived areas. Dr. Karol Watson: Even after adjusting for all the confounders, they found that those in the most deprived neighborhoods had higher hazards of death, stroke, heart failure, and bleeding, relative to those in the least deprived neighborhoods. They also found that, despite having universal healthcare and drug coverage, those in the most deprived neighborhoods were less likely to visit a cardiologist, less likely to receive rhythm control intervention, such as ablation, and have worse outcomes. Dr. Karol Watson: And then, the accompanying editorial by Utibe Essien, he reminds us that intervening only on traditional markers of access, like health insurance and drug costs, may not be sufficient to achieve health equity. We have to address all of the structural needs that make people unable to get good help. Further, he points out that, the association between atrial fibrillation and neighborhood deprivation is very likely true with other cardiovascular conditions, as well. Dr. Karol Watson: So, Merci and Fatima, this just reminds us again, that addressing all the social determinants of health are necessary to achieve the best health outcomes. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Thanks so much, Karol. I really appreciate that summary of that important piece, focusing on a different domain of disparity. My first paper is an excellent piece, led by one of my favorite other associate editors at Circulation, Dr. Wendy Post, from Johns Hopkins University. And I see a familiar name on here. That's yours, Karol. You two are joined by an all-star list of authors, to describe race and ethnic differences in all-cause in cardiovascular mortality, in the multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: MESA is a longitudinal cohort study that launched in 2000, and recruited just over 6,800 adults who identified as black, white, Hispanic, and Chinese. While the study participants were initially free from cardiovascular disease, over an average of 16 years of follow up, 364 participants died from cardiovascular disease. There are a number of novel findings in this paper that led our editor-in-chief to select it as his pick of the issue. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: The finding that really stands out to me is, how much of an influence the social determinants of health had on black versus white disparities in cardiovascular mortality. In fact, after adjusting for socioeconomic status, the disparities were nearly eliminated. Other critically important findings are that, the oft described Hispanic paradox of lower cardiovascular mortality in Hispanics, as compared with white adults, was demonstrated in this population. And finally, we have longitudinal data on Asians living in the United States. Asian participants in MESA had similar rates of cardiovascular disease mortality as their white counterparts. There's so much to learn in this well designed cohort study, and so many hypotheses about how social determinants and structural racism influence the disparities that we see. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: So Fatima, I'd like to turn to you next. What else do you have to share? Dr. Fatima Rodriguez: Thank you, Merci. My second paper is a research letter for my home institution of Stanford University, led by my colleague, Dr. Shoa Clarke, discussing how race and ethnicity stratification for polygenic risk course, may mask disparities among Hispanic individuals. Dr. Fatima Rodriguez: This study used data from the Million Veteran Program, to determine how self-identified race and ethnicity impact the performance of polygenic risk scores in predicting coronary artery disease. Dr. Fatima Rodriguez: The investigators found, that the current polygenic risk scores predict coronary artery disease similarly well in Hispanic and non-Hispanic white individuals. However, what I found most interesting, is that there was so much more heterogeneity among Hispanic individuals as measured by K-Means clustering, than among non-Hispanic white individuals. And this study really confirms that there is much more heterogeneity within populations than between populations. And this is particularly true as we think of the extreme diversity of Hispanic populations. Lumping Hispanic populations into one category, may mask important differences in cardiovascular risk prediction outcomes, and even the notions of the Hispanic paradox that you just discussed, Merci. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: I appreciate you bringing that up again, because there are so many different nuances to the observations that we see in these studies. But I'll keep moving, because we have an embarrassment of riches in this wonderful issue. So Karol I'll turn back to you. Dr. Karol Watson: Thanks, Merci. The next paper I'd like to discuss, is an On My Mind piece by Peter Liu and colleagues, and they entitle it, Achieving Health Equities in the Indigenous Peoples of Canada, Learnings Adaptable for Diverse Populations. Now the author's note that, lessons learned about addressing health disparities from indigenous peoples in Canada, can offer a lot of new lessons for other populations where there are similar disparities. They begin by offering historical perspective, and they say that, most of the health to disparities for the indigenous populations originate from early colonization, in dismantling of the sociocultural economic educational and health foundations, the indigenous communities had historically. Dr. Karol Watson: It's true that, that is true in a number of different countries. This is data from Canada, but we can see similar things in the United States. With the recognition of the historical and ongoing social health inequities, the Canadian government initiated what they call, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, to recommend a path towards reconciliation, to create best practices for engaging indigenous populations. Dr. Karol Watson: For instance, in Canada, any health research or implementation program, requires the direct engagement of indigenous communities and their elders. They have to try to develop culturally safe environment, including what they say, quote unquote, anti-racism and cultural safety education for all, both indigenous and non-indigenous populations. They want to really respect community values, customs and traditions, including the access to traditional foods, and healing practices, and the support from elders. So they really are making it a very important point, that cultural sensitivity is absolutely critical to engaging these populations. You want to jointly collect data whenever available, to track progress and outcomes. And they offer many examples of successful programs developed using these principles, such as the Diabetes and My Nation program, in British Columbia, or the mobile diabetic telehealth clinic. Dr. Karol Watson: They offer discussion of future initiatives as well, that can help other communities in Canada. Such as, there's an initiative addressing hypertension in the Chinese population in Canada. Dr. Karol Watson: So this thoughtful paper, really looks at disparities in unique populations in Canada. More importantly, it offers potential roadmaps for other populations, solutions to address longstanding legacies of racism and colonialism. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Thank you so much, Karol, for that description from our neighbors from the north. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: My second paper is really relevant during this hot month of July, in much of the United States and the upper hemisphere. And that's because Sameed Khatana and colleagues from the University of Pennsylvania, discuss how extreme heat is associated with higher cardiovascular mortality. For those of us who welcome the heat of summer and the opportunity to get out from behind our desks and exposed to some vitamin D, Khatana and colleagues reviewed county level daily data on temperature, and linked those data with mortality rates. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: But before I summarize the findings, I invite you to California based cardiologists to join me in Chicago, where extreme heat is really only a problem for about 30 days a year. The authors found that between 2008 and 2017, when the heat index was above 90 degrees Fahrenheit, or 32.2 degrees Celsius, there was a significantly higher monthly cardiovascular mortality rate. In total, extreme heat was associated with nearly 6,000 additional deaths from cardiovascular disease. And sadly, black adults, older adults, and men, bore the greatest burden of mortality rates from extreme heat. So, we can all take lessons from that. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: But turning to you now, Fatima. Dr. Fatima Rodriguez: Thanks so much, Merci. I'm from Florida, so I can definitely relate to the issues of extreme heat, but I'm very happy for the perfect year round weather here in Northern California. Dr. Fatima Rodriguez: My third paper is led by Dr. Zubair (and Chikwe) and colleagues from Cedar Sinai, and it describes changes in outcomes by race, in children listed for heart transplantation in the United States. I won't give all the details, but this research letter really nicely summarizes how the 2016 Pediatric Heart Allocation Policy revisions may have inadvertently widened health disparities between white and non-white children. This article touches on the difference between equality and equity, even in the most well-intentioned national policies. And I invite our listeners to read the full details in this special Circulation edition. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Thanks Fatima. Karol. Dr. Karol Watson: The next paper I'd like to discuss, is a community based cluster randomized pilot trial, of a cardiovascular mobile health intervention, preliminary findings of the FAITH! Trial, from LaPrincess Brewer and colleagues from the Mayo Clinic. Dr. Karol Watson: So it's well known that African Americans have suboptimal cardiovascular health metrics, such as less regular physical activity, suboptimal blood pressure levels, suboptimal diets. So the authors of this study hypothesize, that developing a mobile health intervention, in partnership with trusted institutions, such as, African American churches, might be an effective means to promote cardiovascular health in African American patients. So using a community based participatory research approach, they develop the FAITH! trial. FAITH stands for Fostering African American Improvement in Total Cardiovascular Health. The manuscript in this issue reports, feasibility and preliminary efficacy findings from this refined community informed mobile health intervention, using the FAITH! App, developed by the investigators. Dr. Karol Watson: They performed a cluster randomized control trial. Participants from 16 different churches in the Rochester, Minnesota and Minneapolis St. Paul, Minnesota areas. The clusters were randomized to receive the FAITH! App, that was the intervention group, or were assigned to a delayed intervention program. The 10 week intervention feature culturally relative and sensitive information modules, focused on American Heart Association's Life's Simple 7. Primary outcomes were changes in the mean Life Simple 7 score, from baseline to six months post intervention. They enrolled 85 participants, mean age was 52, and about 71% were female. Dr. Karol Watson: At baseline, the mean Life Simple 7 score was 6.8, and 44% of the individuals were characterized as being in poor cardiovascular health. The mean Life Simple 7 score of the intervention group, after the end of the intervention, increased by 1.9 points. In the control comparator group, it only increased by 0.7 point. Highly statistically significant, with P value of less than 0.0001 at six months. Dr. Karol Watson: Now this FAITH! Trial demonstrated preliminary findings, that suggest that a culturally sensitive and mobile health lifestyle intervention could be efficacious, promoting ideal cardiovascular health among African Americans. I think what's so important about this is that, they partnered with a very trusted group, the churches, and getting buy-in to a community that has had many reasons not to trust in the past, I think is critically important. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Well, thank you so much, Karol. My third paper is an original research investigation by Anoop Shah and colleagues from the University of Edinburgh, arguing that socioeconomic deprivation is an unrecognized risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: In their study, the authors evaluated how risk scores, with and without indicators of socioeconomic deprivation, performed in a population study in Scotland, the Generation Scotland: the Scottish Family Health Study, of over 15,000 adults. Again, I won't give away all the details, so that I keep our listeners excited to read the article, but all risk scores aren't created equally. And the observed versus expected number of events varied, based on whether the risk score included socioeconomic indicators or not. Further, the performance of the risk scores varied, based on the degree of deprivation that participants were currently experiencing. It's a thought provoking piece, that may challenge us to reconsider how we identify risks for cardiovascular disease in the population. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: And I'm turning to you now, Fatima. Dr. Fatima Rodriguez: Sure thing, Merci. My last paper is led by Dr. Anna Krawisz, and is looking at how differences in comorbidities explain racial disparities in peripheral vascular interventions. This study used Medicare fee for service data from 2016 to 2018, to examine risks of death and major amputation, one year following peripheral endovascular intervention. They found that, black Medicare beneficiaries had higher population level need for peripheral endovascular interventions, and that black race was associated with adverse events following these interventions. However, after adjusting for the higher prevalence of comorbidity, such as diabetes, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease in black populations, this observation was eliminated. Again, like a common theme in many of the articles we've discussed today, this is to suggest, that moving upstream to reduce risk factors is really critical to eliminate disparities in cardiovascular disease outcomes. And this includes the understudy disease of peripheral arterial disease. Black adults were also less likely to be treated with guideline directed medical therapies in this study. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Well, thank you so much, Karol and Fatima, for your wonderful summaries of all of the excellent pieces in this issue. Dr. Karol Watson: And I'd like to thank all of the fantastic investigators who submitted their really fantastic work, so that we could produce this issue. And really, keep them coming. We thank you for this. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Well, thank you. So now we'll transition to our feature discussion with Drs. Wadhera and Kyalwazi, from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and the Harvard Medical School. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Welcome to this episode of Circulation on the Run podcast. I'm really pleased to host this feature discussion. My name is Mercedes Carnethon, from the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. And I'm pleased to have with us today, Drs. Ashley Kyalwazi and Rishi Wadhera from Beth Israel Deaconess, and the Harvard Medical School. And they shared with us a really important piece of work for our disparities issue, that is describing disparities in cardiovascular mortality, between black and white adults in the United States from 1999 to 2019. First of all, I really want to thank you both for submitting your important work to circulation. Dr. Rishi Wadhera: Thanks so much Mercedes, and thanks for the opportunity to submit and revise our manuscript. Ms. Ashley Kyalwazi: Thanks so much for having us. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Wonderful. I'd like to start out with you Rishi. Tell our listeners about the objectives of your study, and what your motivation was for carrying out this work. Dr. Rishi Wadhera: Well, I think it's been well established that, black adults are disproportionately impacted by cardiovascular disease, and experience worse cardiovascular outcomes, due to systemic inequities and structural racism. And so, the goal of our study was really, to perform a comprehensive national evaluation of how age adjusted cardiovascular mortality rates have changed for black adults, compared with white adults, over the past two decades in the United States, with a focus on some key subgroups, like younger adults and women. Dr. Rishi Wadhera: In addition, because we know that the neighborhood community or environment in which you live in the US, has an immense influence on cardiovascular health, we also examine changes in cardiovascular mortality for black and white adults by geographic region, rurality, and neighborhood racial segregation. And our primary objective was really, to understand whether disparities in cardiovascular outcomes between black and white adults improved, worsened, or didn't change, from 1999 to 2019. Dr. Rishi Wadhera: And there are some reasons to think we might have made progress in narrowing the mortality gap between these groups over this time period. There have been substantial improvements in preventative care and treatments for cardiovascular disease over the past two decades. And the expansion of insurance coverage under the Affordable Care Act, led to increases in access to care, cardiovascular risk factor screening and treatment, particularly, for black adults. At the same time, we know that, black adults were disproportionately affected by the economic recession of 2008, and experienced worsening poverty, job loss, and wealth loss, all of which are inextricably tied to cardiovascular health, and more broadly, health. And so that was our interest in really exploring how disparities in cardiovascular mortality have changed amongst black and white adults between 1999 and 2019. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Thank you so much for that summary. It's really nice to have these sort of pieces that really outline for us a lot of data, and across a number of different domains. Because it allows us really, a chance to think about those data, and how we can use those data in order to help improve health. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: So tell me a little bit, Ashley, about what your study found. Ms. Ashley Kyalwazi: Absolutely. Yeah. So in the United States, overall, we found that age adjusted cardiovascular mortality rates declined for both populations, so both black and white adults, by around 40% from 1999 to 2019. So encouraging declines across the country. We found that these patterns were similar for both women and men, when we stratified by gender, over the 20 year period. While mortality rates declined in all regions, we still did find disparities when we stratified by age. So between the younger and older black women, versus younger and older black men, we found that, younger black men and black women were dying at higher rates, and were at increased risk of death from cardiovascular mortality, compared to younger white women and men, respectively. But we also found that black women and men living in rural areas consistently experienced highest mortality rates. And then finally, black adults living in higher areas of residential racial segregation, and compared to those living in low to moderate areas of residential racial segregation had higher mortality rates, as well. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Wow, this is a lot. And it's really describing a lot of disparities across multiple domains that we can easily measure. Which aspects of these results in your work did you find the most surprising, Ashley? Ms. Ashley Kyalwazi: Yeah, I was intrigued, I think overall, by just the gaps. I was very encouraged by, I think, the declines over time. On an absolute scale, the country has made a lot of progress, in terms of reducing cardiovascular mortality rates for both groups. But still, by the end of the study period, there were notable gaps between black adults and white adults. Particularly, between black, younger women and white, younger women, we see that by the end of the study period, black, younger women still remain over two times the risk of death from cardiovascular disease than younger white women. Which I think, leaves something to be desired from a public health and health policy standpoint, with regards to how we're going to kind of decrease these disparities. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: I wanted to follow up on that point. Why do you think you see such disparities between black and white younger women? I love the opportunity of the podcast to allow authors a chance to speculate, beyond what they would do in the paper. Ms. Ashley Kyalwazi: Absolutely. I think that, there are a lot of great efforts on a national scale right now, to kind of address the disparities between black and white women. The Association of Black Cardiologists, for example, had a whole paper out about ways to really target and provide preventative measures for black women. So for example, working with communities, where there's a high proportion of black women, to figure out what community based research looks like. Engaging with churches, different types of methods, to really understand the barriers that black women face towards obtaining preventative care. Ms. Ashley Kyalwazi: I think the disparities that we are seeing, could potentially parallel well known and documented disparities in maternal health outcomes. So I think, from a perspective of preventative care, really thinking about, what are the barriers to healthy cardiovascular profiles for black women pre and postnatally, to ensure that their cardiovascular health is an actionable before and after the pregnancy? Ms. Ashley Kyalwazi: And then I think, broadly, the challenges that black women face, mirror the challenges of black adults, plus the additions of like social stressors, things that we looked at in this study neighborhood residential racial segregation, access to healthcare, and all of those things kind of contribute to the profile that black women face, in terms of being often, the heads of their households as well, and carrying on a lot of different societal challenges. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Thank you so much for that. I really appreciate that. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: As I read the paper, one of the findings that I found the most surprising, and it was challenging for me to understand, is that while the absolute difference in rates was declining, or getting smaller over time, between black and white men and women, the rate ratios remained elevated across the course of time. I think, these concepts can be a little challenging to understand, not just to me, but to others as well. That when one measure of effect is showing progress, but another is still reporting a disparity. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Rishi, could you explain for our listeners, how we can see progress on one metric, but still find a mortality rate ratio that's 1.3 times higher in black, as compared with white men, for example? Dr. Rishi Wadhera: Thanks for that really important question, Mercedes. Just to summarize, we presented two outcomes that compared cardiovascular deaths among black and white adults in our paper, absolute rate differences, and then separately, rate ratios. And I think, both measures provide important complementary insights. I think that, understanding the absolute rate difference in cardiovascular deaths is critically important from a public health perspective, because it characterizes excess deaths experienced by black adults, compared with white adults. The fact that the absolute rate difference in cardiovascular death has narrowed over the past two decades between these groups is positive news. In contrast, the rate ratio provides us with important insights on the relative difference, or disparity or gap, between black and white adults. Dr. Rishi Wadhera: So again, both are important, both provide sort of synergistic and complimentary insights. And just to sort of cement that, as an example, you were talking to Ashley earlier, about some of the patterns we noticed amongst younger black women and white women. The absolute rate difference in cardiovascular deaths between younger black women, compared to younger white women, decrease from 91 per 100,000 in 1999, to about 56 per 100,000 in 2019. And that's good progress. However, our rate ratio analysis indicated that, still in 2019, young black women were 2.3 times more likely to die of cardiovascular causes than young white women. Highlighting that, we still have a lot of work to do, to address disparities between these groups. Some of which, Ashley already talked about. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Thank you so much for that excellent explanation. I know it's certainly, I find it alarming to hear, but then I remember I'm actually not young anymore. So maybe this doesn't apply to me quite as much. But no, I appreciate the explanation. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: So your report was really unique, in that you studied these disparities, as we discussed, across a number of domains, age, geography, even racial residential segregation. Whereas, the pronounced disparities have been reported in a few of the other domains that you studied. I'm really interested in hearing more about racial residential segregation. I think, a lot of people don't fully understand what the concept is, and the ways in which racial residential segregation may contribute to higher rates of cardiovascular death among blacks. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Ashley, would you mind explaining to us first, what racial residential segregation is? And then really, how it would contribute to higher rates of cardiovascular death? Ms. Ashley Kyalwazi: Yeah, absolutely. So in its simplest terms, racial residential segregation is just the physical separation of two or more groups by race and/or ethnicity into different neighborhoods. What gets tricky is, like the long history within the United States of how we got to this point, where you see numerous degrees of segregation across the country. Residential racial segregation in the United States dates back to policies pre World War II, that resulted in kind of discriminatory banking practices and policies. For example, reverse red lining and gentrification, much of which the extent still exists today. And that's what we see kind of, I think, in our results when we looked at high versus low to moderate areas of residential racial segregation, and how those kind of track onto the trends that we see in cardiovascular mortality over time. Ms. Ashley Kyalwazi: The residential racial segregation impacts almost every aspect of life. You can imagine where you live, we know definitely impact, for example, your zip code can impact health outcomes. We've seen individual's cardiovascular health kind of trend with something as simple as your zip code. Where you live really does impact your, for example, access to affordable housing, health insurance, where your primary care physician is, whether or not you even have one. What that trip looks like to see your primary care physician, is it hours on end, and unrealistic to get to, or is it just around the corner? Ms. Ashley Kyalwazi: Educational opportunities, which leads to income, which we know is linked to cardiovascular disease employment in all of these aspects. Even access to green space. In some metropolitan areas that are more segregated, we see that, black adults, for example, have less access to green space, and numerous studies have shown that, that does impact overall health, but then also, from a cardiovascular disease perspective as well. So I think that, given that we know that lack of access to all of these key determinants can adversely affect cardiovascular mortality, and just general cardiovascular health, I think is very interesting that we found that, there was this link between high residential racial segregation and cardiovascular mortality. That we definitely can look into more, and understand kind of in more detail, that the mechanisms at play and ways to intervene. Dr. Rishi Wadhera: And just to layer onto and reinforce Ashley's really excellent answer to that question. We know that black adults are more likely to live in disadvantaged neighborhoods, because of the intentionally racist policies that were put in place many decades ago, that Ashley described so well. And black communities and segregated communities, as Ashley mentioned, are less likely to have access to primary care, high quality hospital care, and green spaces, but also, pharmacies and healthy foods. And we also know, there's a lot of empirical work that's shown that black communities, disproportionately experience psychosocial stressors, trauma. Dr. Rishi Wadhera: Also, these communities are disproportionately exposed to climate change, such as extreme heat. There was a recent paper that extreme heat has been linked to increases in cardiovascular mortality, and disproportionately affects black communities. These communities are also disproportionately exposed to pollution. All of these things we know are linked to cardiovascular health, and represent the effects of again, intentionally racist policies that were put into place many decades ago, the effects of which still persists today. Which will require equally intentional policies that aim to dismantle these longstanding effects, if we hope to make progress in advancing health equity, and specifically, cardiovascular health equity. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: I appreciate the facility with which the two of you address the multiple complex contributors to cardiovascular health. It's even more impressive coming from two clinicians. So I really appreciate you taking the time to explain this. And this is where I really like the opportunity to open up and say, what more do you want your clinical peers to know about? For example, how does this affect the day to day encounters that you have in clinic with black patients, and other patients who've been traditionally underrepresented? How do you hope your clinical peers will use this information to promote cardiovascular health equity? And I'll open it up to either of you to respond. Ms. Ashley Kyalwazi: Yeah, I can get on that one. I think that, the disparities that our paper highlights, really requires a multisystem level approach to tackling, from public health to public policy. But I think at a provider level, to your question, Mercedes, physicians must be able to, I think at first, read the data and understand that these disparities exist. Ms. Ashley Kyalwazi: If there's no insight with regards to the risk profiles, that simply black women and black men have, because of systemic racism, because of these inequities, then I think, we're already kind of steps behind where we need to be. So recognizing disparities in cardiovascular disease burden for black men and women, prioritizing education on cardiovascular risk. A lot of the conditions are preventable with appropriate access to care and education around these topics. And so, providing education about the signs and symptoms of heart disease and treatment options for black men and women. Recognizing the history of medical mistreatment for black adults in this country. And really, tailoring the approach towards the individual who comes into the office, who might have very valid reasons for hesitating to take a medication, or a lot of questions that need time and consideration. Ms. Ashley Kyalwazi: At a research level, I think, more data and resources should be spent on studying risk prevention and treatment for cardiovascular disease in black adults, and really, developing more community based models, that really get at the specific interventions that work within black communities, that are culturally specific, that are targeted and relevant, for the populations that we're talking about. Ms. Ashley Kyalwazi: I think finally, and I'll let Rishi chime in, I think, this is shockingly low level of racial and ethnic representation in the field of cardiology as a whole. And we know that, diversity in healthcare can improve health outcomes. So from a cardiology perspective, I think, training the next generation of black young men and women to take up their seats at the table, and really advocate for some of these issues, alongside individuals who are already doing great work, would be essential towards reducing disparities that we see. And so all of the above, I think, I would encourage for my colleagues. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Thank you so much. Rishi, any final thoughts? Dr. Rishi Wadhera: No, I'll just add onto Ashley's again, really outstanding response that, this is a tension we face when we see patients in cardiology clinic all the time. I think, awareness about disparities, and the multiple factors that contribute to disparities in cardiovascular health, particularly, as it relates to race and ethnicity, are increasingly being recognized as they should be. Dr. Rishi Wadhera: And one of the challenges, how much can clinicians do within the bounds of hospital walls? We can make sure that we get patients the treatments they need. We can make sure we screen patients appropriately. But we know, as we've discussed, that so many factors beyond hospital walls, like widening income inequality, that's disproportionately affected black adults, and has been worsening over the last several decades. Widening educational inequality, that again, disproportionately affects black adults, and has been worsening over decades, also affect how. So I think, thinking about how clinicians, researchers, and policy makers, can work together to address some of these challenges, issues, and broader social determinants of health, that also exist outside our clinical practice, or hospital walls, will be really, really important, if we are serious about advancing health equity in this country. Dr. Rishi Wadhera: I don't think, we can operate in silos anymore. In the clinical world, in the research world, in the policy making world, we need more researchers and clinicians to have a seat at the table when it comes to policy making, individuals who understand how all of these complex factors are inextricably tied to one another, so that we can seek and implement solutions that advance cardiovascular health. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Thank you so much. The insights that we've gotten, from not only your written work, but even more importantly, this opportunity to speak with you today, and share with our readership, have just been invaluable. And I really appreciate the amount of time that you spent, in preparing the manuscript, and really contextualizing the findings with us today, as well as in writing. So thank you so much for contributing this really important work to our annual disparities issue. Dr. Rishi Wadhera: Thank you so much, Mercedes. We really appreciate all the time you and the Circulation team took to make the manuscript stronger. Ms. Ashley Kyalwazi: Thank you so much for having us. It was truly an honor to have this conversation and to submit our work. Dr. Mercedes Carnethon: Well, thank you.

4.28.2022 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: 2nd chance for Kaepernick? S.C. Hate Crime Bill, FDA's Menthol Ban, Endemic v.Pandemic, Sen. Tim Kaine Raiders owner Mark Davis says he's open to signing Colin Kaepernick. There are just a few days remaining for South Carolina's hate crime bill to pass. The bill is named after State Senator Clementa Pinckney, who was gunned down with eight other black church members during a Bible study session by a white supremacist in 2015.  A South Carolina State representative will tell us why some republicans are opposing the bill. Dr. Anothy Fauci says we are out of the pandemic phase, but Covid is still not over.  We'll talk to a geneticist who will explain what it means to be in an endemic versus a pandemic phase of Covid. The FDA is cracking down on the use of menthol flavoring in tobacco products to help decrease youth experimentation and addiction.  We have the Association of Black Cardiologists spokesperson who will explain why the FDA's proposal will help prevent tobacco companies from targeting our black youths. In today's Where's Our Money segment, I spoke to Sen. Tim Kaine about his joint effort with Senators Cory Booker and Joyce Beatty to keep more money in our pockets by increasing asset management diversity in retirement accounts. After spending decades in prison, a black man in Florida is free.  His only crime?  Having the same name as the actual perpetrator.

Show notes 1. Why does Black Maternal Health need to be deliberately highlighted episode on CardioNerds? Black women are three-four times more likely to die during their pregnancy. The deaths are primarily tied to cardiomyopathy and cardiovascular conditions such as coronary artery disease, pulmonary hypertension, chronic hypertension, preeclampsia, and eclampsia.63-68% of this cardiovascular mortality is preventable depending on one's racial identity.  As CardioNerds, we must educate ourselves on why this occurs and identifying diseases that may place patients at increased risk.Studies have shown the Black maternal mortality crisis exist irrespective of one's education or socioeconomic status.We must recognize and admit that some patients are being treated differently because of their race and ethnicity alone. 2.     When we consider or acknowledge a patient's race, what should CardioNerds think about? Race is an important factor to think about, but we must remember that it is an imperfect variable. We should not focus on biology or genetic make-up. We should think about social determinants of health. 60% of the time social and personal aspects dictate one's health.Unconscious biases and structural racism are likely playing a major role in race-based health inequities. 3.     What are other vulnerable groups that have increased mortality rates related to cardioobstetric care? Native American women have similar maternal mortality rates to Black populations.Women who are veterans, live in rural communities, and/or are currently incarcerated have increased risk of mortality 4.     What are some of the social determinants of health that should be considered for these patients? Food deserts or having poor access to nutrient rich/quality foods make these vulnerable patients have increased risk factors for high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity, and diabetes which increase the risk for pregnancy complications and infertility.The above vulnerable populations can have less access to higher levels of care for high-risk pregnancies. 5.     What are some of the preventable causes of maternal mortality? Clinicians should actively listen to their patients' concerns. There have been several media stories in the news and on CardioNerds episodes where women's concerns were not acknowledged or taken seriously.Preconception counseling is important to provide to all patients. 50% of women have one risk factor for cardiovascular disease when entering pregnancy. We should have discussions with patients regarding their lifestyles, with an emphasis on exercise and diet. 6.     What are some of the psychosocial or health related differences we see in black mothers when compared to other r...

This week’s episode of Circulation on the Run features author Ami Aronheim and Associate Editor Thomas Eschenhagen as they discuss early cardiac remodeling that promotes tumor growth and metastasis. Dr Carolyn Lam: Welcome to Circulation on the Run, your weekly podcast summary and backstage pass to the journal and its editors. I'm Dr Carolyn Lam, associate editor of the National Heart Center and Duke National University of Singapore. Dr Greg Hundley: And I'm Dr Greg Hundley, associate editor and director of the Pauley Heart Center at VCU Health in Richmond, Virginia. Dr Carolyn Lam: Greg, today we're taking a look at the cardio-oncology world in our feature discussion, but in a very interesting reverse way. Cardio-oncology, what would you think of? I suppose the effects on the heart of cardiotoxic drugs that we use in oncology, right? But this feature paper looks at it the other way around and says does the heart and its remodeling promote tumor growth and cancer? Terribly interesting data coming right up after we discuss a couple of papers, well, all the papers in today's issue. So I want to start. Greg, do you remember what parasites are and why they're important? Dr Greg Hundley: Well, Carolyn, this is actually one of the things that I do remember because we study the parasites when we're looking at microcirculatory dysfunction after the administration of potentially cardiotoxic agents for treatment of cancer. But how about you tell us a little bit more. Dr Carolyn Lam: This is going to be very basic just for all of us. Now, the blood vessels are composed of endothelial cells and mural cells. Endothelial cells line the vascular lumen. Whereas the mural cells, which include faster smooth muscle cells and parasites adhere to the abluminal surface of the endothelium. Parasites regulate vessels stabilization and function, and their loss has been associated in diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, vascular malformation, stroke, and cancer. Just like you said, Greg. Now here we have a series of elegant experiments by Dr Mariona Graupera from IDIBELL in Barcelona and colleagues who use genetic mouse models to identify the specific molecular signature of mural cells at early and late stages of the energetic process and unveil their biological relevance. Their results show that phosphatidyl inositol 3-kinase or PI3K-beta is the main regulator of parasite, proliferation and maturation in vessel growth. PI3K-beta deletion in parasites triggered early parasite maturation, whereas exacerbated PI3K signaling delayed parasite maturation, and thus vessel maturation during angiogenesis. Dr Greg Hundley: So clinically what's the take home message here. Dr Carolyn Lam: The proposed model of mural cell maturation together with the tools developed would be instrumental for the characterization of mural cells in pathologies associated with deregulated vessel growth, such as ischemia stroke, vascular malformation, diabetic retinopathy, and cancer. The therapeutic potential of modulating parasite biology through PI3K signaling provides a new window of clinical intervention for vascular related diseases in which parasite dysfunction contributes to their onset and or progression. Dr Greg Hundley: Very nice, a very important cell type Carolyn. Well, my paper comes from Professor Xiang Qian Lao from The Chinese University of Hong Kong. In this paper, the authors investigated in 140,072 adults all greater than the age of 18, without hypertension who joined a standard medical screening program with 360,905 medical exams that occurred between the years of 2001 and 2016. They assess the joint associations of habitual physical activity and long-term exposure to find particulate matter with the development of hypertension in Taiwan. Dr Carolyn Lam: Wow. A huge study. So what did they find Greg? Dr Greg Hundley: After adjusting for a wide range of co-variants including a mutual adjustment for physical activity or particulate matter, a higher physical activity level was associated with a lower risk of hypertension. Whereas a higher level of particulate matter was associated with a higher risk of hypertension. No significant interaction was observed between physical activity and particulate matter. So Carolyn in conclusion, a high physical activity and a low particulate matter exposure were associated with a lower risk of hypertension. What we would expect the negative association between physical activity and hypertension remain stable in people exposed to various levels of particulate matter. The positive association between particulate matter and hypertension was not modified by physical activity. Thus, Carolyn the authors believed their results indicate that physical activity is a suitable hypertension prevention strategy for people residing in relatively polluted regions. Dr Carolyn Lam: Oh, thanks for summarizing that. So well, Greg, Hey, I've got a question for you. Do you measure a high density, lipoprotein cholesterol or HDL cholesterol? Do you measure the levels or do you measure the particle concentration in your clinical practice? Dr Greg Hundley: I think just the levels Carolyn. Dr Carolyn Lam: Yeah. Same, but there's a lot of data coming out about the particle concentration. Let's review a little bit about that. So the HDL cholesterol is an established athero-protective marker, particularly for coronary artery disease, but HDL particle concentration may better predict the risk. However, the associations of HDL cholesterol and HDL particle concentration with ischemic stroke and with myocardial infarction among women and blacks has not been well defined. And so Dr Rohatgi from UT Southwestern and colleagues analyzed individual level participant data in a pool cohort of four large population studies without baseline atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. These were the Dallas Heart Study, the ERIC study and the MISA study, as well as the PREVENT study. Dr Greg Hundley: What did they find? Were there any unique pieces of data related to either sex or those of black race? Dr Carolyn Lam: They found that HDL particle concentration is inversely associated with the specific endpoint of ischemic stroke overall and among women. Whereas HDL cholesterol was not associated with ischemic stroke. Neither HDL particle concentration nor HDL cholesterol levels were associated with myocardial infarction in blacks. Thus HDL particle concentration, but not HDL cholesterol may be a useful risk marker for ischemic stroke. HDL particle concentration may be a useful risk marker for both myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke among women. There is likely minimal utility of HDL markers for risk prediction of myocardial infarction in the black population. Dr Greg Hundley: Thanks Carolyn. That was such a great introduction and overview and then the results was so clear. Carolyn, my next paper comes from Dr Peter Willeit from the Medical University of Innsbrook. In this paper, the author systematically collated carotid intima-medial thickness data from randomized controlled trials. The primary outcome was a combined cardiovascular disease endpoint defined as myocardial infarction, stroke, revascularization procedures, or a fatal cardiovascular event. The authors estimated intervention effects on carotid intima-medial thickness progression and incident CVD for each trial before relating the two using a Bayesian eta- regression approach. Dr Carolyn Lam: Oh, this is important. So what did they find? Dr Greg Hundley: Carolyn, they're going to have 10 micrometer per year evaluations. So across all intervention, each 10 micrometer per year reduction of carotid intima-medial thickness progression resulted in a relative risk for cardiovascular disease of 0.91 with an additional relative risk for cardiovascular disease of 0.92 being achieved independent of carotid intima-medial thickness progression. So combining these results, the authors estimate that interventions reducing carotid intima-medial thickness progression by 10, 20, 30 or 40 micrometers per year would yield relative risks of 0.84, 0.76, 0.69 or 0.63 each incrementing with the magnitude of reduction in micrometers per year. Results were similar when grouping trials by type of intervention. Time of conduct, time to ultrasound follow-up, availability of individual participant data, primary versus secondary prevention trials, the type of carotid intima-medial thickness measurement, and the proportion of women in the studies. Dr Carolyn Lam: So could you summarize that Greg? Dr Greg Hundley: You bet, Carolyn. So the extent of intervention effects on carotid intimal-medial thickness progression predicted the degree of cardiovascular disease risk reduction. This provides a missing link supporting the usefulness of carotid intimal-medial thickness progression as a surrogate marker for cardiovascular disease risk prediction in clinical trials. Dr Carolyn Lam: Indeed. Thanks, Greg. It's important because it also quantifies that risk reduction. Very nice. Now let's just round up with some other papers in the issue. There is a perspective paper by Dr Bunch on Dementia and atrial fibrillation, a research letter by Dr Ellinor on myocyte specific upregulation of ACE two in cardiovascular disease, the implications for our SARS-coronavirus to mediated myocarditis. There are letters to the editor regarding the article small extra cellular macrovesicles mediated, pathological communications between dysfunctional adipocytes and cardiomyocytes as a novel mechanism, exacerbating ischemia reperfusion injury in diabetic mice. These letters were by Dr Li with response by Dr Ma. There's a research letter by Dr Natarajan on genetic variation and cardiometabolic traits and medication targets and the risk of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Dr Greg Hundley: Carolyn, I've got a couple other features to describe. Aaron Baggish and Ben Levine provide an On My Mind piece, related to sports after COVID-19. Jeffrey Smietana has an ECG challenge regarding an ELVAD artifact. Then finally, Bridget Kuhn has cardiology news related to an announcement from the Association of Black Cardiologists calling for an urgent effort to address health inequality and diversity in cardiology. Can't wait to get to that feature discussion and that really unique twist in cardio-oncology. Dr Carolyn Lam: Here we go. Greg. Based feature discussion. We are diving into the world of cardio-oncology. Now, usually that refers to the intersection between cancer and cardiovascular disease, where we usually talk about cancer and cancer treatment effects on the cardiovascular system. But emerging data now suggests the concept of reverse cardio-oncology, whereby heart disease potentiates cancer. Today's feature paper really provides very important and significant preclinical data to support this. I'm so pleased to have with us, the corresponding author, Dr Ami Aronheim from Israel Institute of Technology, as well as our associate editor, Dr Thomas Eschenhagen from University Hospital Hamburg Eppendorf in Germany. Ami, thank you very much for joining us today. Please. Could you walk us through your very elegance study and the results? Prof Ami Aronheim: We used a model, which is called the transfers, all the constriction, which promotes pressure overload on the heart. Actually following this procedure, we implanted cancer cells into mice and we followed the growth of these tumors. Actually we found out that the tumors of a tuck operated mice is growing much faster. Also when we used a metastatic model, namely, when we injected cells into the tail vein, we obtained more metastatic lesions in the lungs. Actually we found out that the serum from these mice is able to promote the variation of cancer cells in vitro. Then we also identified a protein, which is potentially promoting these cell proliferation in vitro. Dr Carolyn Lam: That is really significant. I mean, am I right that this is the first study to show that cardiac remodeling actually promotes tumor growth and metastasis and this is probably via secreted factor. Prof Ami Aronheim: This is the first paper showing that early events of cardiac remodeling promote cancer cell proliferation. It is known that heart failure by the work of De Boer’s group, that heart failure is promoting cancer load in mice. This paper was also published in Circulation 2018. Dr Carolyn Lam: Indeed. Thank you for reminding me about that. And I am a huge fan of Rudolph de Boer and his work. Indeed. Could I ask though, in your study, did you identify a particular secreted factor? Prof Ami Aronheim: We looked at the RNA seq from conduct remodeled heart, and we looked for secreted factors in the heart and we focused on two secreted factors CTGF and periostin, which are known to promote cancer growth. And indeed we found in our mice models that reduced in level is increased in the serum of mice of tuck operated mice. Once we deplete the serum from periostin, we ambulated this increase in cell proliferation. Dr Carolyn Lam: Wow. So periostin appears a culprit, but I'm sure the listeners are dying to know. Was there any human data that you had that supported the animal findings? Prof Ami Aronheim: The model in mice, the tack operation, it's hard to find the right model in human because the operation is really rapid. When the mice wake up, they have this pressure overload, the only disease which in human correlates or is mimicked by the tag is Altucher's stenosis, which is the restriction of the outtake evolve, the right aortic valve]. And we looked in these patients and what we found out, we looked at the echo cardiography data of a lot of patients. We actually found out that for young basically patients 40 to 60 years old, if they have moderate to severe aortic stenosis, they have higher risk to develop cancer about 1.6-fold higher than our external these patients. Although I must say with caution that this size group is quite small and it should be repeated with much higher number of patients. Dr Carolyn Lam: Wow. Thank you so much, Ami. Thomas, I have to bring you in here. Thank you for managing this very remarkable paper. Could you share some thoughts on what you think this means for the field? Thomas Eschenhagen: We all immediately as editorial team like this paper. When it came in on the background of the different paper, it really provides significant additional evidence that this interaction between cancer and the heart is two sided. And that's, as you said in the intro, that's really very important. And it's all very interesting that apparently these two different models used by Rudolf de Boer, which wasn't ischemia myocardial injury model. And here it's a hypertrophy model with early remodeling. They both do similar things, but apparently by different mechanisms. Because the number of the factors identified in the de Boer paper do not match with, with these two factors, CTGF and periostin. And for both, I think we have now convincing evidence that they may play a role, but it also shows that this is probably a quite complex interaction between the heart and the cancer. That makes it extremely interesting. Of course it's important because it's such a common comorbidity, I mean, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, are the most prevalent and the second most prevalent diseases is cancer. So this interaction must be very, very important. And it's very good that these two papers now focus of you on the reverse side and not only on the classic cardiac toxicity side, which me as pharmacologists, of course, we, I was always interested in. Dr Carolyn Lam: Yeah, indeed. I mean, Thomas me too. As a heart failure clinical trial list and epidemiologists, if I may, I always thought it was just shared risk factors, you know, age being particularly one of them. Thomas Eschenhagen:   Obviously, as you said, shared risk factors do play a role must, must their role. So it's certainly not only this direct interaction, but this new paper shows that there is in addition to this risk factor model, something specific. And that of course could be, I mean, at least theoretically be addressed. Dr Carolyn Lam: For both Thomas and Ami, what do you think are the implications now? I mean, should we be screening all patients with aortic stenosis more closely for cancers? What do you think are the clinical implications? Maybe Ami first? Prof Ami Aronheim: I think cardiovascular disease patients are already watched very carefully beforehand. But certainly I think that they should be also observed for cancer specifically. So yes I believe it should be. Also I this cardiovascular treatment should consider to make them early as possible to avoid any interaction with cancer. Dr Carolyn Lam: Yeah, that completely opens the field to, for example. Early aortic valve replacement, reducing subsequent cancer risk, like you mentioned in your paper, I mean, that's just mind blowing. Thomas, what do you think? Thomas Eschenhagen: I agree, 10 years ago, we said that more cancer patients, particularly those under treatment should be sent to the cardiologist to look for the heart. Now we will say the other way around as well. We really need to look more carefully for cancer. So I think this paper and the other one have the consequences we should do more here. There's also obviously a number of very interesting questions because one of the findings I found fascinating in this paper by Ami and this group was that this mouse strain, which finally did not show the classical science of remodeling after transverse aortic striction. So no BNP, no NP, no BDMEC increase in this small strain. There was no increase in cancer growth. Very interesting, because normally you would think somehow that these mice, which were kind of normal in the cardiac response would be worse, but in this respect they were better. So that's a very interesting aspect. The second aspect I found really fascinating is the human data suggest, I guess it's quite preliminary data, but there's a suggestion here that this interaction is mainly seen in younger patients. And I'm not quite sure what that means, but it's something to look at. Dr Carolyn Lam: Wow. Thanks for highlighting those Thomas. So Ami maybe the last word from you. Given all of this remaining questions and so on, what are your next steps? Prof Ami Aronheim: First, I wanted to comment something more wide view for this interaction that we find with cancer. I think all the organs actually communicate with one another. The fact that we are looking on a heart and cancer, this is due to the fact that it's easy. We have the models working in the lab and it's easy. But I'm sure if we're going to look to other diseases and other organs, there will be other connections of the heart with other organs and other diseases and maladies, which by conducting modeling, they will promote or maybe even reverse other maladies. So I'm sure that there is a communication between all organs, many organs altogether, and they will affect one another. Our directions currently are to look more precisely for the periostin story because we follow this mainly in vitro and would like to follow it in vivo. Also I think this mice model are nice, but to look also in human, where the periostin in aortic stenosis patients, where then, we can find out earliest in, in the serum before intervention, and to look after whether this secreted factor goes down or reduced. Also we are looking in other transgenic model that we generated along the years, which are known to result in cardiac modeling. We want to see whether these mechanisms are similar or different and whether they can promote also cancer progression. The use of these transgenic mice is very nice because we can induce them and we can shut down them so we can learn more about the kinetic, which influence one another, and exactly whether they can be reversed or not.
