Oral antiarrhythmics have limited efficacy and significant risks Catheter ablation is now a first-line option in suitable patients Newer ablation technology - Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is safer and faster Anticoagulation decisions remain based on stroke risk, not ablation status Genuine post-procedural issues may be benign Ongoing healthcare professional role - Blood pressure and risk factor control The questions answered in this podcast are listed below.They were compiled by GPs and health professionals around Australia who attended Healthed’s face-to-face seminars. How effective are oral antiarrhythmic medications? Does this cure atrial fibrillation? What is the current state of ablation technology? Can you explain what you mean by "rapid" and provide an example of how long a procedure typically takes? Does reduced scarring decrease the likelihood or complexity of needing a repeat ablation? What are some of the contraindications in terms of structurally abnormal heart that would be contraindications for the patient? How should atrial fibrillation be approached in patients with severe ischaemic heart disease? Does this complicate treatment? If a patient has an AF ablation, can they come off my anticoagulant? How do you manage patient’s embolic issues? How soon after the procedure can patients typically be discharged? Following successful AF suppression, is it possible for patients to stop taking DOACs or other anticoagulants? After discharge, how soon should patients follow up with their GP? What should the GP monitor and what should be communicated back to the specialist? When will you consider AV node ablation and insertion of a pacemaker?

In this piece we discuss the intricacies of right heart failure, the differences between the right and left ventricles, and the challenges of early detection and monitoring. With a focus upon research we discuss the Swan-Ganz IQ pulmonary artery catheter, with the FastCCO algorithm, from BD Advanced Patient Monitoring. We cover its innovative capabilities, explore its impact on patient care and look particularly at high-risk patients like those with pulmonary hypertension and LVADs. The episode highlights the importance of new monitoring techniques, future research directions, and the promise of continuous data in improving right ventricular function diagnosis and treatment. Presented by Kate Leslie with her guest Joerg Ender, Director of the Department for Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine, Heart Center, Leipzig, Germany. He is second president of the German Society of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine and former Secretary General of the European Association of Cardiothoracic Anaesthesiologists (EACTA).
Darshan H. Brahmbhatt, Podcast Editor of JACC: Advances, discusses a recently published original research paper on Mechanical Thrombectomy vs Catheter-Directed Thrombolysis for High-Risk Pulmonary Embolism: A Target Trial Emulation.
In the US, an estimated 70-75% of women who give birth use an epidural for pain relief during labor. Epidural anesthesia during labor can affect bladder function by delaying the return of bladder sensation and potentially leading to urinary retention. This can be due to the nerves that control bladder function being affected by the epidural, reducing the sensation of bladder fullness and the urge to urinate. Intrapartum, there is no universal guidance regarding bladder management with labor epidural analgesia (LEA). Does one method of bladder care intrapartum affect mode of delivery more than the other? Is it better to have an indwelling catheter or to perform intermittent caths. What about patient self-voiding with a bedpan. Let's summarize the data.
In this episode, Carla Hackett shares her three very different birth experiences - from a hospital birth with her first son Raph, to an unexpectedly rapid home birth with her second son Noah, and finally a beautiful water birth with her daughter Maeve. ___________ Download our free guide: Labour tips for birth partners What is a birth support partner? A birth support partner offers physical and emotional support throughout labour and birth. Your birth partner should be mentioned in your birth plan, particularly in regards to how they will advocate for you to your midwife or doctor. If you are a birth partner, don’t forget that she will be relying on you throughout all stages of labour and birth to offer words of encouragement, hold her hand, guide her through breathing techniques and remind her, most importantly, that she is safe.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us a textToday, we interviewed first-time mum Rachel about the birth of her baby. Initially planning for private OB and hospital care, Rachel explored public hospitals and homebirth midwives before choosing a homebirth after watching Birth Time. She experienced PROM and prodromal labour, and during active labour, transferred to the hospital due to her baby's elevated heart rate. Rachel reflects on the challenges that followed, particularly hospital policy placing her baby in special care. She also opens up about her breastfeeding journey, which ended around 4 months postpartum with the return of her period, and discovering her baby had CMPI.Links:Birth Time Film RANZCOG - Homebirths Transfer to hospital in planned home births: a systematic reviewTen years of a publicly funded homebirth service in Victoria: Maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Join CardioNerds EP Council Chair Dr. Naima Maqsood and Episode Lead Dr. Jeanne De Lavallaz as they discuss the results of the VANISH2 Trial with expert faculty Dr. Jeff Healey and Dr. Roderick Tung. Audio editing by CardioNerds academy intern, Grace Qiu. The VANISH2 trial enrolled 416 patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy, an ICD in place, and recurrent episodes of sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) to receive either first-line VT catheter ablation or antiarrhythmic drug therapy with the primary composite outcome of death from any cause, appropriate ICD shock, ventricular tachycardia storm (meaning at least 3 ventricular tachycardia events within 24hrs) or treated ventricular tachycardia below the detection limit of the ICD. The study population had a mean age of 68 years, with 94% being men and predominantly of white ethnicity. On average, 14 years had elapsed since their last myocardial infarction, with approximately 60% having undergone percutaneous coronary intervention at the time. The mean ejection fraction was 34%. This episode was planned in collaboration with Heart Rhythm TV with mentorship from Dr. Daniel Alyesh and Dr. Mehak Dhande.

William H. Sauer, MD, FHRS, CCDS, Brigham and Women's Hospital is joined by Isabella Alviz, MD, Brigham, and Women's Hospital, and Usha B. Tedrow, MD, MS, FHRS, Brigham and Women's Hospital to discuss how patients with ventricular tachycardia and ischemic cardiomyopathy are at high risk for adverse outcomes. Catheter ablation is commonly used when antiarrhythmic drugs do not suppress ventricular tachycardia. Whether catheter ablation is more effective than antiarrhythmic drugs as a first-line therapy in patients with ventricular tachycardia is uncertain. https://www.hrsonline.org/education/TheLead https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2409501 Host Disclosure(s): W.

Radical Catheter Technologies has developed a new design of catheters that takes ribbon technology of different stiffness (and colors straight out of a Dr. Seuss book) to make a near-infinite amount of transitions for optimized size and structure stability, Chairman Martin Dieck explains to Bloomberg Intelligence. In this Vanguards of Health Care podcast episode, Dieck sits down with BI analyst Matt Henriksson to talk about Radical Catheter, how he sees the FDA approval of the 7F Radical Catheter for neurovascular procedures as the first step in the next generation of endovascular access and delivery products, and how he took the efforts to create credibility of the novel technology by building out the intellectual property and manufacturing capacity ahead of time.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
In this episode, we delve into catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI), a common hospital-acquired infection with serious implications. We'll explore how these infections occur, their prevalence, risk factors, complications, and most importantly, strategies for prevention. Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI) are one of the most commonly reported hospital-acquired conditions, and have a big impact on length of stay, cost, and mortality. Length of stay - According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, a CAUTI increases length of stay by 2 to 4 days. Cost - On average, the cost of treating a CAUTI can range from $900 to $14,000 per case which accounts for an estimated $340 to $450 million per year in the United States. Since most cases of CAUTI are preventable, Medicare and Medicaid do not reimburse hospitals for these costs. Mortality - In critically ill patients, the mortality rate for CAUTI is 30%. It is estimated that more than 13,000 patients die each year due to CAUTI-related complications.

A Note from James:Imagine you are dying or you're about to die. Let's say you were hit by a car, you're bleeding out, you're on the way to the hospital but you just have this sense that you're not going to live, and you see visions of someone you knew in the past, maybe a mother or a father, and they're saying, "Don't worry, we're here for you." Come down this light at the end of a tunnel. Does that change your experience of life if you then survive? Well, we're going to hear from Sebastian Junger, who wrote "In My Time of Dying: How I Came Face to Face with the Idea of an Afterlife." And if you don't know who Sebastian is, he's written many books about being a war reporter, his experiences in war zones, and other intense situations. But this is perhaps his most intense book that I've read, where he's not talking about deaths on the battlefield or in a war zone, but his own experience of dying and what happened to him during that experience. It really makes you think. And I've been thinking about it a lot for personal reasons this past week. I hope everybody enjoys it. If you do, please retweet it, share it with your friends, and subscribe to the podcast so all the good little algorithms work for me. Thanks so much, and here is Sebastian.Episode Description:In this compelling episode, James Altucher converses with Sebastian Junger, acclaimed author and war reporter, about his harrowing near-death experience and his exploration of the afterlife in his latest book, "In My Time of Dying." Junger shares the profound and mystifying moments he faced at the brink of death, challenging his atheistic beliefs and scientific understanding. This episode isn't just about a personal encounter with mortality but dives into the larger implications of consciousness, the mysteries of the human mind, and what it means to truly live after facing death.What You'll Learn:The profound impact of near-death experiences on one's worldview and beliefs.The intersection of scientific rationalism and mystical experiences.Insights into the psychological and emotional aftermath of surviving a near-death experience.Theories about consciousness and the potential for an afterlife from both scientific and experiential perspectives.Practical lessons on living a more appreciative and meaningful life after a brush with death.Chapters:00:01:30 - Introduction: Sebastian Junger's Near-Death Experience00:04:41 - The Moment of Crisis: Abdominal Hemorrhage and Medical Intervention00:09:00 - Encountering the Void and Seeing His Father00:14:22 - The Medical Miracle: Innovative Interventional Radiology00:24:26 - Rational Explanations vs. Mystical Experiences00:31:30 - Unexplained Phenomena: Quantum Mechanics and Consciousness00:41:29 - Personal and Philosophical Reflections on Life and Death00:52:30 - The Aftermath: Dealing with Anxiety and Fear00:56:35 - Finding Meaning and Appreciation in Life Post-Trauma01:02:15 - Writing About the Experience: Structuring the Narrative01:05:28 - Final Thoughts and TakeawaysAdditional Resources:Sebastian Junger's Official WebsiteIn My Time of Dying: How I Came Face to Face with the Idea of an AfterlifeTribe: On Homecoming and Belonging by Sebastian JungerWar by Sebastian JungerQuantum Enigma: Physics Encounters Consciousness by Bruce Rosenblum and Fred KuttnerBiocentrism: How Life and Consciousness are the Keys to Understanding the True Nature of the Universe by Robert Lanza ------------What do YOU think of the show?

CardioNerds nerd out with Drs. Karishma Rahman (Mount Siani Vascular Medicine fellow), Shu Min Lao (Mount Sinai Rheumatology fellow), and Constantine Troupes (Mount Sinai Vascular Surgery fellow). They discuss the following case: A 20-year-old woman with a history of hypertension (HTN), initially thought to be secondary to a mid-aortic syndrome that resolved after aortic stenting, presents with a re-occurrence of HTN. The case will go through the differential diagnosis of early onset HTN focusing on structural etiologies of HTN, including mid-aortic syndrome and aortitis. We will also discuss the multi-modality imaging used for diagnosis and surveillance, indications and types of procedural intervention, and how to diagnose and treat an underlying inflammatory disorder leading to aortitis. The expert commentary was provided by Dr. Daniella Kadian-Dodov, Associate Professor of Medicine and Vascular Medicine specialist at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Audo editing was performed by Dr. Chelsea Amo-Tweneboah, CardioNerds Academy Intern and medicine resident at Stony Brook University Hospital.

Case Media - Hypertension With a Twist Pearls - Hypertension With a Twist Early onset hypertension (HTN) and lower extremity claudication should raise suspicion for aortic stenosis (including mid-aortic syndrome). Initial evaluation should include arterial duplex ultrasound and cross-sectional imaging such as CT or MR angiogram of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis to assess for arterial stenosis involving the aorta and/or branching vessels. Mid-aortic syndrome can have multiple underlying etiologies. Concentric aortic wall thickening should raise suspicion for an underlying inflammatory disorder. Initial evaluation should include inflammatory markers such as ESR, CRP, and IL-6, but normal values do not exclude underlying aortitis. While Takayasu arteritis is the most common inflammatory disorder associated with mid-aortic syndrome, IgG4-RD should also be a part of the differential diagnosis. IgG subclass panel can detect IgG4-RD with elevated serum IgG4 levels, but some cases can require pathology for diagnosis. Catheter based intervention is a safe and effective treatment of aortic stenosis for both primary aortic stenosis and post-procedural re-stenosis. Multi-modality imaging, including cross-sectional imaging and duplex ultrasound, plays a central role for the diagnosis, management, and post-procedural surveillance of aortic disease. A multi-disciplinary team (as exemplified by the participants of this podcast!) is essential for the management of complex aortopathy cases to optimize clinical outcomes. Show Notes - Hypertension With a Twist 1. Early onset HTN can have multiple etiologies – aortic stenosis (including but not limited to secondary to congenital aortic coarctation and mid–aortic syndrome, as well as in stent re-stenosis if there is a history of aortic stenting), thrombosis, infection, inflammatory/autoimmune disorders, renovascular disease, polycystic kidney disease, and endocrine disorders. 2. Mid-aortic syndrome is characterized by segmental or diffuse narrowing of the abdominal and/or distal descending aorta with involvement of the branches of the proximal abdominal aorta (renal artery, celiac artery, superior mesenteric artery) and represents approximately 0.5 to 2% of all cases of aortic narrowing. Underlying etiologies include genetic syndromes, inflammatory, non-inflammatory, and idiopathic. It is important to have a high suspicion of underlying inflammatory disorders if cross-sectional i...
