Contributor: Travis Barlock, MD Educational Pearls: Wheezing is classically heard in asthma and COPD, but it can be the result of a wide range of processes that cause airflow limitation Narrowed bronchioles lead to turbulent airflow → creates the wheezing Crackles (rales) suggest pulmonary edema which is often due to heart failure Approximately 35% of heart failure patients have bronchial edema, which can also produce wheezing COPD and heart failure can coexist in a patient, and both of these diseases can cause wheezing It's vital to differentiate whether the wheezing is due to the patient's COPD or their heart failure because the treatment differs Diagnosing wheezing due to heart failure (cardiac asthma): Symptoms: orthopnea, paroxysmal nocturnal dyspnea Diagnostic tools: bedside ultrasound Treatment: diuresis and BiPAP for respiratory support Not all wheezing is asthma Consider heart failure in the differential and tailor treatment accordingly References 1.

AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich reviews a paper published in The Bovine Practitioner with the first author Madeline Mancke from Kansas State University. The objective of this study was to determine potential associations between Cardiac Troponin I (cTnI) serum concentration of cattle at initial bovine respiratory disease (BRD) treatment with the risk of retreatment or mortality at 60 days. BRD is the most significant disease in beef cattle and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Developing prognostic tools may be valuable for managing individual cases. cTnI is a protein that is released into the circulatory system after myocardial damage and may be useful as a biomarker for prognostication of BRD cases. Mancke walks through the results of the paper which demonstrated that 8/318 samples had high cTnI levels and animals with high cTn1 concentrations had a significantly greater probability of not finishing the 60-day post-enrollment period. Cattle with high cardiac troponin concentrations at initial BRD treatment were more likely to have negative clinical outcomes but, in this study, very few animals had high cTnI levels. Mancke provides information about potential future research opportunities to better manage BRD cases in the feedyard.  The Bovine Practitioner is the peer-reviewed journal published by AABP. The journal publishes original research, case studies, review articles and case studies that are intended to provide information to the practicing cattle veterinarian. The journal is available open-access online and print volumes are available for purchase. There are no publication fees for authors and the peer review and submission process is managed online.

Welcome, MedTech Gurus! Imagine a future where rural communities have the same access to advanced cardiac diagnostics as major metropolitan hospitals… where early-stage heart disease is caught before it becomes an emergency… and where the wearable on your chest does more than just collect data—it helps rewrite your health journey. That future is now, and today's guest, Chris Darland, CEO of PeerBridge Health, is at the heart of it. Chris and his team are bringing next-generation wearable cardiac monitors to life with CoreMDX—an ambulatory ECG system that delivers hospital-grade signal fidelity and real-time insights, all in a user-friendly patch. In this episode, we dive into how PeerBridge is transforming early disease detection, enabling virtual cardiology, and solving the readmission crisis with scalable, affordable tech. We'll also explore how vintage scientific breakthroughs are being reimagined with cutting-edge AI, and what it really takes to raise capital in today's medtech landscape. This is an episode on innovation you will love!

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...

The heart is an involved organ in many syndromes impacting kids. Our understanding of the genetic underpinnings of pediatric heart conditions has improved greatly with better access to genetic testing. From inherited arrythmias to structural congenital heart defects, genetic testing is becoming an essential part of the diagnosis, treatment and family counseling in kids with heart problems. To help us understand this evolving field, we are joined by Kathryn Chatfield, MD. She is the director of the Cardiac Genetics and Aortopathy Program at Children's Hospital Colorado and specializes in clinical genetics and genomics, as well as cardiology. She is also an Associate Professor of Pediatric Cardiology at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Some highlights from this episode include:  How to determine which kids should undergo a cardiac genetics workup and which ones may not need it  Understanding if these diseases are inherited, spontaneous or mutations  Why some kids with heart conditions are not seen until they are older  How primary care providers can interact with specialized genetics clinics   For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org.

Contributor: Ricky Dhaliwal, MD Educational Pearls: What factors are considered in a COVID-19 infection? The viral load: Understood as the impact of SARS-CoV-2 viral particles infecting host cell tissue itself (utilizing ACE-2 receptors). Pro-Inflammatory Response: Post-infection, the body's downstream systemic cytokine release (can be both normal or hyperactive, aka “cytokine storm”). What cardiac impacts have been observed with COVID-19? Arrhythmias: The mechanism of COVID-19 infection and arrhythmias is believed to be multifactorial. However, evidence suggests T-cell-mediated toxicity and cytokine storm may contribute to cardiac myocyte damage, precipitating proarrhythmias instead of direct viral entry. Bradycardia: Increased prevalence in patients with severe COVID-19 infection, but not associated with increased adverse outcomes. Atrial Fibrillation: Most common cardiac complication and risk factor for worsened outcomes in patients with COVID-19. Biggest associated risk is strokes, and may require heightened monitoring and anticoagulation therapy to mitigate stroke risk. Fibrosis of Cardiac Tissue: Similar to arrhythmias, believed to be inflammation-mediated in COVID-19. Fibrosis of cardiac tissue increases the risk that any arrhythmias that develop during infection may persist after the infection has resolved. Ventricular damage: Also inflammation mediated by an active infection and contributes to myocarditis. No evidence suggests that COVID-19 vaccination contributes to myocarditis.  Sinus node dysfunction induced by inflammation that may lead to or be similar to Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS).  Big takeaway? Patients who have had or currently have COVID-19 are at an increased risk of developing arrhythmias and sustaining them post-infection. However, a majority of patients will recover. Due to atrial fibrillation being the most prevalent arrhythmia associated with COVID-19 infection, increased monitoring and potential anticoagulation therapy are required.  References Gopinathannair R, Olshansky B, Chung MK, Gordon S, Joglar JA, Marcus GM, et al.

Sometimes the signs of heart trouble in women don't look like what we expect—they show up as hot flashes, brain fog, or even a racing heart. When I sat down with Dr. Jayne Morgan, an incredible Cardiologist and Women's Health Advocate, we talked about how these often-overlooked symptoms during menopause can actually be clues about what's going on with your heart. We're so used to brushing things off as “just hormones,” but Dr. Jayne explains why now is the time to tune in and take them seriously. Dr. Jayne —who's not only a top Cardiologist but also Vice President of Medical Affairs at Hello Heart—is passionate about making sure women get the full picture when it comes to heart health. She breaks down how estrogen protects your heart, what happens when those levels drop, and why menopause can be a turning point for understanding your risk. We also talked about what real, thorough heart testing should include (because yes, there's more to it than just cholesterol). Her approach is practical, empowering, and honestly—something every woman deserves to hear. Women need to feel empowered, not dismissed, when they bring up symptoms—and that starts with education. We're talking about prevention, clarity, and how to stop second-guessing what your body's trying to tell you. And in line with this we'd like to empower our women, mothers especially, we'll be having a  Mother's Day Sale from May 7-11 ‘25 where we'll get you up to 25% off with bundles of your favorite products.

Association Between COVID-19 Vaccination and Atrial Arrhythmias in Individuals with Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices   Guest: Malini Madhavan, M.B.B.S. Host: Anthony H. Kashou, M.D.   In a study of over 7000 individuals with a cardiac implanted device in the Biotronik CERTITUDE registry, the burden of device detected AF was noted to be higher in the 3 months after covid vaccination compared to the 3 months preceding vaccination. A similar trend was observed for Influenza vaccinated individuals. However, when comparing a propensity matched group of controls without COVID vaccination, the trend towards increased burden of AF was similar in the 2 groups. This led the authors to conclude that the observed increase in AF burden represents the natural progression of AF risk rather than vaccine related changes.   Topics Discussed: The study of atrial fibrillation burden after COVID vaccination, including the conclusion. How the incidence of AF after COVID 19 vaccination compares to that after influenza vaccination. Other studies that have investigated arrhythmia occurrence after COVID vaccination. Safety for patients with cardiovascular disease to get vaccinated for COVID 19.

Contributor: Travis Barlock, MD Educational Pearls: Key clinical considerations when managing heart transplant patients due to their unique pathophysiology 1. Arrhythmias A transplanted heart is denervated, meaning it lacks autonomic nervous system innervation The lack of vagal tone results in an increased resting heart rate Adenosine can be used since it primarily slows conduction through the AV node  Atropine is ineffective in treating transplant bradyarrhythmia because its mechanism is to inhibit the vagus nerve - but the heart lacks vagal tone Allograft rejection can also cause tachycardia Consult transplant surgery - treatment is usually 500 mg methylprednisolone 2. Rejection Transplant patients are administered immunosuppressants Clinical presentation of acute rejection looks similar to heart failure with increased BNP, increased troponin, and pulmonary edema  Cardiac allograft vasculopathy is a form of chronic rejection Patients will not report chest pain due to denervated heart Symptoms are usually weakness and fatigue 3. High risk of infection due to immunosuppression Increased risk of infections which includes CMV, legionella, tuberculosis, etc Immunosuppressants have side effects such as acute kidney injury or pancytopenia 4. Radiographic Cardiomegaly A study found that radiographic cardiomegaly does not connote heart failure They hypothesized it is instead the result of a mismatch between the size of the transplanted heart and the space in the thoracic cavity  References Murphy JD, Mergo PJ, Taylor HM, Fields R, Mills RM Jr. Significance of radiographic cardiomegaly in orthotopic heart transplant recipients.

CardioNerds (Drs. Daniel Ambinder and Eunice Dugan) join Dr. Namrita Ashokprabhu, Dr. Yulith Roca Alvarez, and Dr. Mehmet Yildiz from The Christ Hospital. Expert commentary by Dr. Odayme Quesada. Audio editing by CardioNerds intern, Christiana Dangas. This episode highlights the pivotal role of cardiac MRI and functional testing in uncovering coronary vasospasm as an underlying cause of MINOCA. Cardiac MRI is crucial in evaluating myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) and diagnosing myocarditis, but findings must be interpreted within clinical context. A 58-year-old man with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, a family history of cardiovascular disease, and smoking history presented with sudden chest pain, non-ST-elevation on EKG, and elevated troponin I (0.64 µg/L). Cardiac angiography revealed nonobstructive coronary disease, including a 40% stenosis in the LAD, consistent with MINOCA. Eight weeks later, another event (troponin I 1.18 µg/L) led to cardiac MRI findings suggesting myocarditis. Further history revealed episodic chest pain and coronary vasospasm, confirmed by coronary functional angiography showing severe vasoconstriction, resolved with nitroglycerin. Management included calcium channel blockers and long-acting nitrates, reducing symptoms. Coronary vasospasm is a frequent MINOCA cause and can mimic myocarditis on CMRI. Invasive coronary functional testing, including acetylcholine provocation testing, is indicated in suspicious cases.  US Cardiology Review is now the official journal of CardioNerds!

Notes - Coronary Vasospasm What are the potential underlying causes of MINOCA (Myocardial Infarction with Non-Obstructive Coronary Arteries)?  Plaque Rupture: Plaque disruption, which includes plaque rupture, erosion, and calcified nodules, occurs as lipids accumulate in coronary arteries, leading to inflammation, necrosis, fibrosis, and calcification. Plaque rupture exposes the plaque to the lumen, causing thrombosis and thromboembolism, while plaque erosion results from thrombus formation without rupture and is more common in women and smokers. Intravascular imaging, such as IVUS and OCT, can detect plaque rupture and erosion, with studies showing plaque disruption as a frequent cause of MINOCA, particularly in women, though the true prevalence may be underestimated due to limited imaging coverage.  Coronary Vasospasm: Coronary vasospasm is characterized by nitrate-responsive chest pain, transient ischemic EKG changes, and >90% vasoconstriction during provocative testing with acetylcholine or ergonovine, due to hyper-reactivity in vascular smooth muscle. It is a common cause of MINOCA, with approximately half of MINOCA patients testing positive in provocative tests, and Asians are at a significantly higher risk than Whites. Smoking is a known risk factor for vasospasm. In contrast, traditional risk factors like sex, hypertension, and diabetes do not increase the risk, and vasospasm is associated with a 2.5–13% long-term risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).  Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) involves the formation of a false lumen in epicardial coronary arteries without atherosclerosis, caused by either an inside-out tear or outside-in intramural hemorrhage. SCAD is classified into four types based on angiographic features, with coronary angiography being the primary diagnostic tool. However, in uncertain cases, advanced imaging like IVUS or OCT may be used cautiously. While the true prevalence is unclear due to missed diagnoses, SCAD is more common in women and is considered a cause of MINOCA when i...

Rising to fame at the age of 20, Kate Nash soon became a staple of the British music scene in the late 2000s. Her first album, Made of Bricks, reached number one in the UK and stayed in the UK charts for more than forty consecutive weeks and she's won a Brit Award. But she's spoken openly about not being able to afford to tour and choosing to subsidise her income by selling images of her body on OnlyFans. Kate's currently in the middle of a UK tour for her latest album, 9 Sad Symphonies, and is playing the O2 Kentish Town Forum on 9 April. She joins Nuala McGovern to discuss her career and the music industry.Sarah Brown and her husband Gordon, the former prime minister set up the Jennifer Brown Research Laboratory in 2004, following the death of their daughter Jennifer who was born seven weeks early. For the past decade, the laboratory has been leading vital research into premature birth – including a world-first study following 400 babies, both premature and full-term, from birth to adulthood. Sarah tells Nuala about the research and what they've found about preterm birth. Once the Deed is Done is the fifth novel from the German-British author Rachel Seiffert. It covers the immediate aftermath of the end of WW2 and the fall of Nazi Germany. The book focuses on a group of displaced people – it's estimated that globally there were between 40-60 million people displaced by the war. Rachel describes why she wanted to write about this often forgotten time in history, reflecting on the cruelty inflicted from above and the choices her characters make.

This week we review a recent work from the team at Seattle Children's Hospital about obstetrical sonography and referral of fetuses with 'suboptimal imaging' for fetal echocardiography. Should all 'suboptimal imaging' cases be referred? How can fetal cardiologists parse out who needs a fetal cardiac scan and when? How does the fetal team in Seattle practically serve a geographic region exceeding 2,000 miles and properly triage the referrals, particularly when 'suboptimal imaging' is the rationale for referral? Associate Professor of Pediatrics at The University of Washington, Dr. Bhawna Arya provides deep insights into her recent work on how to think about fetuses referred for 'suboptimal imaging' as a rationale for fetal consultation. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00246-024-03495-9

The practice of immersing your body in ice water is growing in popularity based on claims of improved mood and well-being, muscle recovery after exercise, even longevity. But this ignores the well-established fact that sudden cardiac death is a real risk due to coronary spasm, causing heart attack, and unstable heart rhythms due to a situation called autonomic conflict. There are a growing number of lawsuits that have been filed for the many sudden cardiac deaths that have occurred. So let's discuss what we know about this concept of cold water immersion and why it is such a dangerous practice. • Immersion in water around 15°C/60°F triggers dangerous physiological responses• Cold exposure causes coronary arteries to spasm, potentially leading to heart attack• Most adults have some degree of endothelial dysfunction, making them vulnerable• "Autonomic conflict" occurs when both nervous system branches activate simultaneously• Multiple lawsuits have been filed over deaths from ice baths and polar plunges• Safer alternatives exist for achieving the claimed benefits of cold exposure• Cold showering (starting warm and gradually cooling) may offer similar benefits with less risk________________________________________________________________________________For BiotiQuest probiotics including Sugar Shift, go here.A 15% discount is available for Defiant Health podcast listeners by entering discount code UNDOC15 (case-sensitive) at checkout.*_________________________________________________________________________________Get your 15% Paleovalley discount on fermented grass-fed beef sticks, Bone Broth Collagen, low-carb snack bars and other high-quality organic foods here.* For 12% off every order of grass-fed and pasture-raised meats from Wild Pastures, go here._____________________________________________________________________________MyReuteri and Gut to Glow can be found here: oxiceutics.comSupport the showBooks: Super Gut: The 4-Week Plan to Reprogram Your Microbiome, Restore Health, and Lose Weight Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight and Find Your Path Back to Health; revised & expanded ed
