What does it take to earn the nickname, ‘The Leonardo da Vinci of heart surgery'?That's the moniker given to today's guest - a man who pioneered high-profile and often controversial procedures, but also helped drive huge medical progress; carrying out around 2,000 heart transplants and 400 dual heart-lung transplants during his 60-year career.Sir Magdi Yacoub is Emeritus Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Imperial College London, and Director of Research at Harefield Hospital's Magdi Yacoub Institute. Inspired by a surgeon father and impacted by the tragic early death of his aunt from a heart condition, his medical career includes various surgical firsts alongside numerous research projects, to further our understanding of and ability to treat heart disease. He headed up the teams that discovered it is possible to reverse heart failure, and that successfully grew part of a human heart valve from stem cells for the first time. But it hasn't always been plain sailing. At times, his work – such as early, unsuccessful transplant attempts, or using a baboon as a life-support system for a baby – attracted serious public criticism.Speaking to Professor Jim Al-Khalili, Sir Magdi reflects on the highs and lows of his cardio career, and offers his advice to the next generation of surgeons and researchers hoping to make their mark in heart medicine. Presented by Jim Al-Khalili Produced by Lucy Taylor

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Natalie Lui, Assistant Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery at Stanford University, about lung cancer screening and the importance of early detection. Since lung cancer is often diagnosed in advanced stages, yearly low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening is crucial, especially for heavy smokers. We discuss risk factors, screening criteria from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, National Comprehensive Cancer Network, and the American Cancer Society, and why screening isn't universal despite its importance. Additionally, we explore current research, recent updates to guidelines, barriers to screening in underserved communities, and the potential of emerging technologies, such as AI, to enhance lung cancer screening in the future.

Watch the Q&A session here:  https://youtu.be/wiAFxEnq8t4Gresham College has been delivering public lectures since 1597 through times of great social, political and technological change. Its commitment to deliver lectures for free to the general public has led to intermittent financial challenges to its generous sponsors. The arrival of the internet, mobile devices and social media have offered both opportunity and further challenge.In an era supposedly characterised by shorter attention spans, and greater competition for that attention, what space is left for the public lecture and what is its purpose? Why do people still want to deliver them? What makes a great lecture? What is the relative importance of an in-person v an online audience? Is audience size an indication of the value of lecture content? Can the public lecture survive? This lecture will address these and other questions from a personal, but hopefully informed, perspective.This lecture was recorded by Martin Elliott  on 16th October 2024 at Barnard's Inn Hall, LondonMartin Elliott MD FRCS is Provost of Gresham College. He is also Professor Emeritus of Cardiothoracic Surgery at UCL & Professor Emeritus of Physic at Gresham College.

Dr. Kozower, a thoracic surgeon, discusses the role of surgery in lung cancer treatment and the use of surgery in the diagnosis of lung cancer. The conversation then shifts to the PCORI study on lung cancer surveillance, where Dr. Kozower explains that the intensity of surveillance, such as the frequency of CT scans, does not impact survival rates for lung cancer patients in retrospect. We also discuss the future of lung cancer treatments.  This episode was supported by the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) and features this PCORI study by Dr. Kozower. Key Highlights: 1. Surgery is the primary treatment for early-stage lung cancer, serving both curative and diagnostic purposes. 2. Surveillance, including regular follow-up visits and imaging, is crucial for detecting new lung cancers, especially in individuals with a history of the disease. Screening, on the other hand, aims to detect cancer in its early stages in individuals without symptoms. 3. The narrative around lung cancer is changing due to advancements in molecular diagnostics, targeted therapies, and immunotherapy, offering more hope and optimism for patients. About our guest: Benjamin D. Kozower, MD, MPH is a Professor and Vice Chair of Surgery at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, MO. He completed his General Surgery training at the University of Connecticut in 2004 and his Cardiothoracic Surgery residency at Washington University in 2006. Dr. Kozower worked at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, VA from 2006-2016 until returning to St. Louis in 2016. He is a General Thoracic Surgeon with a focus in thoracic oncology and directs the Thoracic Robotic Program at Barnes Jewish Hospital. He is also a clinical outcomes and health services researcher with funding from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Institute and the National Cancer Institute. Key Moments: At 7:29 "Surgery is the traditional treatment for early-stage lung cancer, patients who have small tumors typically confined to the lung when hopefully it can be curative." At 14:50 "Everybody's followed after their cancer treatment. What's not clear is how often should we follow people?" At 15:38 "The more frequently I'm seen, the earlier something could be detected and the better I'll do. Makes perfect sense. Unfortunately, I'm not sure it's true."  At 35:41 “Fortunately now we're starting to see the development of targeted therapies for specific [lung cancer] mutations. We're starting to see different types of therapies, and not just chemotherapy, but something called immunotherapy, which stimulates the body's immune system to help fight the cancer. So these things have dramatically changed the paradigm of how we treat lung cancers.” Visit the Manta Cares Website Disclaimer: This podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

In this episode, Dr. Carly Fabrizio (Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiology Physician at Christiana Care Hospital), CardioNerds Critical Care Series Co-Chair Dr. Mark Belkin (Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Fellow at University of Chicago) and CardioNerds Co-Founder Dr. Amit Goyal (Cleveland Clinic) join Dr. Gavin Hickey (Director of the AHFTC Fellowship and medical director of the left ventricular assist device program at UPMC) and Dr. David Kaczorowski (Surgical Director for the Advanced Heart Failure center, Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery at UPMC) for a discussion on post-cardiotomy shock. Audio editing by CardioNerds Academy Intern, student doctor, Shivani Reddy. Post-cardiotomy shock is characterized by heart failure that results in the inability to wean from cardiopulmonary bypass or develops post cardiac surgery. Patients who develop post-cardiotomy shock typically require inotropic support and may ultimately require temporary mechanical circulatory support. Post-cardiotomy shock carries a high mortality rate. However, early recognition and prevention strategies can help mitigate the risk for developing post-cardiotomy shock. The CardioNerds Cardiac Critical Care Series is a multi-institutional collaboration made possible by contributions of stellar fellow leads and expert faculty from several programs, led by series co-chairs, Dr. Mark Belkin, Dr. Eunice Dugan, Dr. Karan Desai, and Dr. Yoav Karpenshif.

Pearls and Quotes - Post-cardiotomy Shock Weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass is an intricate process that includes: rewarming the patient, de-airing the cardiac chambers, ensuring a perfusing heart rhythm, confirming adequate ventilation and oxygenation, removing the intracardiac catheters and cannulas and slowly reducing the blood diverted to the cardiopulmonary circuit and returning it small aliquots to the patient. Much to monitor during the process! Assessing the risk for post-cardiotomy shock prior to going to the OR is important. Consider left ventricular, right ventricular, and valvular function, and don't forget about the value of hemodynamic assessments (pulmonary artery catheter evaluations) to ensure patients are adequately compensated. Close peri-operative monitoring of hemodynamics, hemo-metabolic derangements, and acid/base status can help identify patients who are failing therapy and may require upgrade to temporary MCS. RV assessment is challenging. Utilizing both imaging and hemodynamic evaluations can help understand which RV's will require more support. Multi-disciplinary discussions with a heart team approach prior to cardiac surgery are valuable in identifying high risk patients for post cardiotomy shock and discussing contingency plans if issues arise. Show notes - Post-cardiotomy Shock (drafted by Dr. Carly Fabrizio) How can we diagnose post cardiotomy shock?We can diagnose post cardiotomy shock as patients who are undergoing cardiac surgery that develop hypotension and or tachycardia with hypoperfusion and end organ dysfunction. How can assess the risk of developing postcardiotomy shock prior to going to the OR?LV systolic function is not the only evaluation of cardiac functionDon't ignore the RV!Valvular function must be evaluated in conjunction with LV/RV functionHemodynamics can be helpful prior to going to the ORFilling pressures and CO/CI evaluation --> the more normal range - the less risk of post cardiotomy shockIf going in more deranged --> more complications are likely to occurThink about what options are available post operatively if issues ariseInclude a multi-disciplinary discussions and planning prior to going to the OR ...
