Mary Norine Walsh, MD, MACC, JACC: Case Reports Deputy Editor, is joined by author Dena Hayes, MD, discussing this study from Hayes et al presented at ACC.25 and published in JACC: Case Reports. The diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) is often challenging, particularly in atypical cases. The authors describe a case of a previously healthy 33-year-old woman who was found to have a biatrial mass and evidence of a diffuse inflammatory or neoplastic process on multimodality imaging. Percutaneous biopsy of the cardiac mass was performed and histopathology revealed granulomas consistent with CS. This case adds to the growing number of reports of CS presenting as an intracardiac mass.

Our guest today is Evelyn Gamble.  Evelyn is a dedicated healthcare worker and passionate heart disease advocate. With a deep commitment to improving health outcomes, Evelyn uses her personal and professional experiences to raise awareness about heart health, particularly for young adults. As a strong voice for change, she aims to inspire others to take proactive steps in managing their heart health and to advocate for better care and resources for those affected by heart disease.     Definition: A heart arrhythmia, also known as a cardiac arrhythmia, is an abnormal rhythm of the heart. It occurs when the electrical impulses that control the heart's contractions do not function properly.    Causes:    Heart arrhythmias can be caused by a wide range of factors, including:    Heart disease (e.g., coronary artery disease, heart failure) Electrolyte imbalances (e.g., low potassium or magnesium) Certain medications (e.g., stimulants, caffeine) Thyroid disorders Damage to the Vagus Nerve Stress Genetics    Types:    There are many different types of heart arrhythmias, which can be classified based on the rate and rhythm of the heart:    Tachycardia: A rapid heart rate (over 100 beats per minute)    Bradycardia: A slow heart rate (under 60 beats per minute)    Atrial fibrillation: A quivering or irregular rhythm of the upper chambers of the heart (atria)    Ventricular fibrillation: A life-threatening rhythm where the lower chambers of the heart (ventricles) contract irregularly and chaotically    Premature beats: Extra heartbeats that occur early in the rhythm    Symptoms:    Some people with heart arrhythmias may not experience any symptoms. Others may have symptoms such as:    Palpitations (feeling like the heart is racing or fluttering), Chest pain or discomfort, Dizziness or lightheadedness, Fainting, and Shortness of breath.    Diagnosis and Treatment:    To diagnose a heart arrhythmia, your doctor will likely perform a physical exam, ask about your medical history, and take an electrocardiogram (ECG). Treatment options depend on the type and severity of the arrhythmia and may include:    Medications (e.g., beta-blockers, antiarrhythmics) Lifestyle changes (e.g., exercise, stress management) Surgery (e.g., ablation procedure) Implantable devices (e.g., pacemakers, defibrillators)    Outlook: The outlook for people with heart arrhythmias varies depending on the underlying cause and severity of the condition.

When your child's heartbeat is a symphony laced with irregularities, every moment becomes a measure of uncertainty. This is the world heart moms like myself, Anna Jaworski, and my guest Kelsi Rogers live in every day. Join us as we peel back the curtain on the mental marathon of raising children with congenital heart defects (CHD). Our raw conversation plunges into the depths of hypervigilance, the delicate nature of our children's health, and the language that both describes and defines their conditions. Sharing from our hearts, we expose the often-unspoken mental toll of the constant fear and the struggle to find a semblance of normality while fiercely protecting our children's lives.The battle doesn't end with personal struggles; the war against CHD is fought on the frontlines of research and advocacy as well. In this heartfelt exchange, Kelsey and I explore the gap in CHD research funding and the misleading statistics that mask the true prevalence of these heart conditions. We dissect the critical need for comprehensive newborn cardiac screening to catch these silent afflictions early, recounting stories that underscore the urgency and importance of this cause. Our plea for increased education and advocacy rings clear, with a hope to catalyze change in how CHD research and screening practices are approached and executed.Concluding on a note of hope, we cast a light on initiatives forging paths towards groundbreaking treatments, including the exciting prospects of in-utero solutions and the creation of privacy-preserving registries for targeted research through HeartWorks. By sharing personal anecdotes, we underscore the severity of electrical heart issues and rally for greater support and recognition. It's not just a podcast; it's a community coming together every Tuesday at noon Eastern time, sharing a commitment to empower and support the CHD community. Your participation breathes life into our mission, reinforcing the collective heartbeat of families touched by congenital heart disease.Links mentioned in this podcast:HeartFelt: https://www.facebook.com/heartfeltscreeningTiny Tickers Trot: https://runsignup.com/Race/Events/CA/Chico/TinyTickersTrotHeartWorks: https://www.hlhsconsortium.org/heartworks/Become a Supporter of the Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/62761/supporters/newSupport the showAnna's Buzzsprout Affiliate LinkBaby Blue Sound CollectiveSocial Media Pages:Apple PodcastsFacebookInstagramMeWeTwitterYouTubeWebsite

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Charlye: Hi Dr. Cabral, I am a 28 yr old female, I'm fit with a muscular body type. I recently had my first baby, she was delivered via c-section at 33 weeks due to fetal distress. 5 days postpartum I was re-admitted to the hospital for high blood pressure with low heart rate. I have always had great blood pressure and I tested negative for preeclampsia. After EKGs and an Ecmo, It was determined I had bradycardia and a Wenckebach block, due to high vagal tone. I've always had a low resting heart, rate 50-60s awake, 40s while sleeping. I also struggle with intense general anxiety and had a stressful pregnancy. I'm curious about the biophysical relationship between the vagal nerve, my bradyarrhythmia, my anxiety, and my pre-term birth and how to approach healing and balancing my body. Thanks!   Kathryn: I am currently breastfeeding my toddler and I just haven't been able to quit vaping. I stopped while I was pregnant but picked up the habit again due to stress about 7 months postpartum. I have stopped for a few weeks here and there but my partner vapes and I always end up vaping again. The nicotine level is the lowest you can get. I'm mostly worried about the heavy metals getting into my breast milk. Is it best to stop breastfeeding if I can't quit vaping? How much harm am I doing to my child? I wish I had more support from my partner to quit but he assures me it's harmless. I feel like the worst mother ever.   Stacey: Hi Dr.Cabral I just want to say thank you for taking so much time to answer questions and be here for us all ! I just found out my mother has breast cancer . My grandmother and aunt had it as well . We don't know the stage as of yet . What do you suggest we do for now to help her body get strong enough to fight this . I'm terrified and can't think of it without crying as I have health issues myself and trying so hard to just keep my head above water for my kids . My mom is my grandmas care taker and it's just a very scary situation. Also do you suggest BRACA testing for me and possibly removal of my tissue ? I need to have a breast explant so I'm thinking do it then . So much to consider in all of this . Thanks so much for your guidance.   Melissa: Question about not sweating during workouts. I am hydrated, I do LMNT water 30 minutes prior and 32 ounces water during. All I drink is water and always has electrolytes in it I just don't sweat easy.

Are you familiar with BRASH syndrome? The complex interplay of Bradycardia, Renal Failure, Atrioventricular Block, Shock, and Hyperkalemia forms a collection of clinical signs known as BRASH syndrome. One condition leads to another which leads to another, heightening the severity of symptoms. Fortunately, it's easy to manage if you know what you are treating.In this episode, Sarah Lorenzini breaks down the pathophysiology of BRASH syndrome as she examines a patient case study. Starting with its hallmark features and expanding into the synergistic effects of AV nodal blockers, hyperkalemia and renal failure, she provides insights on recognizing the signs of BRASH syndrome early and the importance of understanding the interplay among its components.Sarah outlines the treatment priorities for BRASH syndrome and highlights the importance of identifying the root cause of symptoms to prevent a cascade of complications leading to shock.Tune in to strengthen your knowledge of BRASH syndrome!Topics discussed in this episode:Case study analysis of a BRASH patientComponents of BRASH SyndromeHow BRASH developed in Sarah's patientTreatment and management of BRASH SyndromeThe role of calcium in treatment of BRASHYou can learn more about BRASH Syndrome at the Internet Book of Critical Care Website:https://emcrit.org/ibcc/brash/Mentioned in this episode:Rapid Response Academy LinkWanna check out Rapid Response Academy: The Heart and Science of Caring for the Sick? click this link to learn more: https://www.rapidresponseandrescue.com/communityRapid Response and Rescue Intro CourseCONNECT

Contributor: Travis Barlock MD Educational Pearls: Common sedatives used in the Emergency Department and a few pearls for each. Propofol Type: Non-barbiturate sedative hypnotic agonizing GABA receptors. Benefit: Quick on and quick off (duration of action is approximately 2-7 minutes), helpful for suspected neurologic injury so the patient can wake up and be re-evaluated. Also has the benefit of reducing intracranial pressure (ICP). Downsides: Hypotension, bradycardia, respiratory depression. What should you do if a patient is getting hypotensive on propofol? Do not stop the propofol. Start pressors. May have to reduce the propofol dose if delay in pressors. Dexmedetomidine (Precedex) Type: Alpha 2 agonist - causes central sedation Uses: Patients are more alert and responsive and therefore can be on BiPAP instead of being intubated. Does not cause respiratory depression. Downsides: Hypotension and Bradycardia. Caution in using this for head injuries, its side effects can mask the Cushing reflex and make it more difficult to spot acute elevations in ICP and uncal herniation. Ketamine Type: NMDA antagonist and dissociative anesthetic, among other mechanisms. Benefits: Quick Onset (but slower than propofol). Does not cause hypotension, but can even increase HR and BP (Thought to potentially cause hypotension if patient is catecholamine-depleted (ie. sepsis, delayed trauma)). Dosing ketamine can be challenging. Typically low doses (0.1-0.3mg/kg (max ~30mg)) can give good pain relief. Higher doses (for intubation/procedural sedation) are generally thought to have a higher risk of dissociation. Downsides: Emergence reactions which include hallucinations, vivid dreams, and agitation. Increased secretions. Benzos Type: GABA agonists. Benefits: Seizure, alcohol withdrawal, agitation due to toxic overdoses.  Push doses are useful because doses can stack. Longer half-life than propofol.   Downsides: Respiratory depression. Longer half-life can make neuro assessments difficult to complete. Etomidate MOA: Displaces endogenous GABA inhibitors. Useful as a one-time dose for quick procedures (cardioversion, intubation). Often drug of choice for intubation since it is thought to have no hemodynamic effects.  Downsides; If used without paralytic - myoclonus. Though to have some adrenal suppression. Fentanyl Type: Opioid analgesic. Not traditional sedative. Benefits: There are many instances in emergency medicine in which sedation can be avoided by prioritizing proper analgesia. Fentanyl can even be used to maintain intubated patients without needing to keep them constantly sedated. Downsides: Respiratory depression. Patients may have tolerance.

Contributor: Dylan Luyten MD Educational Pearls: What is a Bradyarrhythmia? Also known as a bradyarrhythmia, it is an irregular heart rate that is also slow (below 60 beats per minute). What can cause it? Complete heart block AKA third-degree AV block; identified on ECG by a wide QRS, and complete dissociation between the atrial and ventricular rhythms with the ventricular being much slower. Treat with a pacemaker. Medication overdose, especially beta blockers. Many other drugs can slow the heart as well including: opioids, clonidine, digitalis, amiodarone, diltiazem, and verapamil to name a few. Electrolyte abnormalities, specifically hyperkalemia. Hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, and hypomagnesemia can also cause bradyarrhythmias. Myocardial infarction. Either by damaging the AV node or the conduction system itself or by triggering a process called Reperfusion Bradycardia. Hypothermia. Bradycardia is generally a sign of severe or advanced hypothermia. References Jurkovicová O, Cagán S. Reperfúzne arytmie [Reperfusion arrhythmias]. Bratisl Lek Listy. 1998 Mar-Apr;99(3-4):162-71.

The fetal heart rate is controlled by various integrated physiological mechanisms, most importantly by a balance of parasympathetic and sympathetic nerve impulses. Intrapartum, fetal bradycardia may be in direct response to an evolving or acute hypoxic event, including tachysystole, uterine rupture, or placental abruption. Antepartum, excluding acute events like maternal trauma which could lead to an acute hypoxic episode, most fetal brady arrhythmias will be nonhypoxia related. We recently evaluated and cared for a patient at 23 weeks gestation with the incidental finding during her routine prenatal visit of a fetal HR of 90. This was confirmed by bedside ultrasound, and then noted to be in the 70s on reexamination in L&D. There was no fetal hydrops, no evidence of maternal injury, no maternal connective tissue disease, normal amniotic fluid, and a normal fetal movement seen on ultrasound. What are the possible causes of antepartum fetal bradyarrhythmia? What's the work-up? What is the fetal Long QT syndrome? And when is delivery recommended? Listen in and find out.
