Podcasts about cardiac society

Cardiologists are warning people are dying years too young from heart failure because proper drugs aren't being funded and the Cardiac Society said Cardiovascular disease remains the number one cause of mortality in New Zealand. Dr Sarah Fairley from the Cardiac Society speaks to Susana Lei'ataua.

Heart services are being described as "in crisis" as much-needed drugs lack funding.  The Cardiac Society is calling on Pharmac to cover chronic heart failure medicines with their funding boost. The drugs have been standard in cardiac care in the UK, Australia, and Canada; but here in New Zealand they are only funded for type 2 diabetics who meet certain criteria.  Martin Stiles is the Chair of the NZ Cardiac Society, and he joins Andrew Dickens to discuss further.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join Rahul and Professor Stephen Nicholls as they pick apart the peculiarities of the Lp(a) particle. Steve wears many hats as a clinical trialist, lipidologist, leader of the Victorian Heart Institute and current president of the Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand.In this podcast, we talk about the structure and function of Lp(a), the evidence supporting Lp(a) as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, how to approach testing for Lp(a) and finally how to manage someone with a high Lp(a). Steve is an investigator on many of the trials testing new Lp(a) lowering therapies and guides us on how the scene is likely to take shape in the next few years. Don't miss this one!

Wait times to see a specialist in New Zealand are ballooning. Te Whatu Ora data shows almost 60,000 people are waiting more than four months to get a first appointment at the specialist. That's up from nearly 36,000 a year ago. Cardiology, plastics, haematology and renal medicine are seeing the most growth in the number of referrals each month. New Zealand chair of the Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand Dr Selwyn Wong spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Join us in this informative podcast as we sit down with Dr. Engelman and Dr. Grant, esteemed members of the ERAS Cardiac Society. In this engaging interview, they introduce themselves and share insights into their backgrounds. Delving deeper, they discuss their quality improvement programs and how they're revolutionizing patient care. Discover the strategies that have proven most successful in enhancing patient care within the operating room and intensive care unit. The doctors also draw from their extensive experience in implementing Enhanced Surgical Recovery programs, offering valuable insights into the outcomes achieved. To top it off, they share expert advice for clinical leaders on making the most of ERAS, making this podcast a must-listen for anyone in the healthcare field.This episode is sponsored by Edwards Lifesciences.

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is a foundational aspect of perioperative medicine. This piece covers ERAS® Cardiac, a non-profit organization with the mission to develop evidence-based expert consensus statements promoting best practice recovery practices: https://www.erascardiac.org/about/our-team We discuss The Perioperative Quality Initiative: https://www.thepoqi.org/ We also discuss the value proposition for perioperatvie care, the need for open access medical information and collaboration in cardiac surgery. We discuss this paper in detail: Adult Cardiac Surgery-Associated Acute Kidney Injury: Joint Consensus Report: https://www.jcvaonline.com/article/S1053-0770(23)00340-3/fulltext Presented by Desiree Chappell and Monty Mythen with their guest Vicki Morton, Director of Clinical and Quality Outcomes at Providence Anesthesiology Associates in Charlotte, NC.

A cardiac surgeon fears patients will die on waiting lists, as operations continue to be delayed. The Cardiac Society says patients needing urgent procedures are now waiting much longer than normal. Brain and cancer surgeries are also being delayed as the winter pressure on hospitals continues. Aanei te kai ripoata a Rosie Gordon. 

Some acute heart patients are waiting weeks in hospital for an operation, too sick to go home but unable to get their surgery. Hospitals are under huge pressure with staff shortages, Covid-19 and winter illnesses and the stress is also being felt in intensive care. Most hospitals have been delaying non-urgent surgery to cope. But cardiologist Selwyn Wong, who also chairs the Cardiac Society, says urgent procedures are also being delayed. He spoke to Corin Dann.
