CardioNerds Critical Care Cardiology Council members Dr. Gurleen Kaur and Dr. Katie Vanchiere meet with Dr. Yash Patel, Dr. Akanksha, and Dr. Mohammed El Nayir from Trinity Health Ann Arbor. They discuss a case of pulmonary air embolism, RV failure, and cardiac arrest secondary to an ocular venous air embolism. Expert insights provided by Dr. Tanmay Swadia. Audio editing by CardioNerds Academy intern, Grace Qiu. A 36-year-old man with a history of multiple ocular surgeries, including a complex retinal detachment repair, suffered a post-vitrectomy collapse at home. He was found hypoxic, tachycardic, and hypotensive, later diagnosed with a pulmonary embolism from ocular venous air embolism leading to severe right heart failure. Despite a mild embolic burden, the cardiovascular response was profound, requiring advanced hemodynamic support, including an Impella RP device (Abiomed, Inc.). Multidisciplinary management, including fluid optimization, vasopressors and mechanical support to facilitate recovery. This case underscores the need for early recognition and individualized intervention in cases of ocular venous air embolism. US Cardiology Review is now the official journal of CardioNerds!

Pearls- Clear Vision, Clouded Heart: Ocular Venous Air Embolism with Pulmonary Air Embolism, RV Failure, and Cardiac Arrest Hypoxia, hypotension and tachycardia in a patient following ocular instrumentation are classic findings suggestive of pulmonary embolism from possible air embolism. The diagnosis of RV failure is based on clinical presentation, echocardiographic findings (such as McConnell's sign), and invasive hemodynamic assessment via right heart catheterization. Mechanical circulatory support can be considered as a temporary measure for patients with refractory RV failure. Central Figure: Approach to Pulmonary Embolism with Acute RV Failure Notes - Clear Vision, Clouded Heart: Ocular Venous Air Embolism with Pulmonary Air Embolism, RV Failure, and Cardiac Arrest 1. What is an Ocular Venous Air Embolism (VAE), and how can it be managed in critically ill patients? An Ocular Venous Air Embolism is defined as the entry of air into the systemic venous circulation through the ocular venous circulation, often during vitrectomy procedures. Early diagnosis is key to preventing cardiovascular collapse in cases of Ocular Venous Air Embolism (VAE).  The goal is to stop further air entry. This can be done by covering the surgical site with saline-soaked dressings and checking for air entry points. Adjusting the operating table can help, especially with a reverse Trendelenburg position for lower-body procedures. The moment VAE is suspected, discontinue nitrous oxide and switch to 100% oxygen. This helps with oxygenation, speeds up nitrogen elimination, and shrinks air bubbles. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can reduce bubble size and improve oxygenation, especially in cases of cerebral air embolism, when administered within 6 hours of the incident. Though delayed hyperbaric oxygen therapy can still offer benefits, the evidence is mixed. VAE increases right heart strain, so inotropic agents like dobutamine can help boost cardiac output, while norepinephrine supports ventricular function and systemic vascular resistance, but this may also worsen pulmonary resistance.  Aspiration of air via multi-orifice or Swan-Ganz catheters has limited success, with success rates ranging from 6% to 16%. In contrast, the Bunegin-Albin catheter has shown more promise, with a 30-60% success rate. Catheterization for acute VAE-induced hemodynamic compromise is controversial, and there's insufficient evidence to support its ...

Trucker Catheterization. Did he say that? You bet he did. You will not believe what some truckers are doing to pass they DOT drug screen. I really wish I could tell you, but I would spoil the show. So, for now, I will just let your imagination run wild. I promise, you won't be disappointed when you hear what they are doing. Tune into the next episode of TalkCDL Trucking Podcast. Florida Truck Show TalkCDL will be at the Florida Truck Show. The location is none other than the Convention Center in Sunny Ft. Lauderdale Florida. The beach is near and the weather is forecast to be beautiful and in the 80s. Troy and Ruthann will be at booth #132. They will have their equipment with and they will be recording a show.

A truck driver heading south bound on highway 19, in Florida, had a pedestrian run in front of him. No one knows if the person was trying to beat the truck or if he was attempting suicide by semi truck. Many people every day take chances around these big rigs. They cut truckers off and break check them, they sneak up on their sides trying to beat them to red lights or they just pull out in front of a tractor-trailer thinking the big rig has 18 brakes and can stop on a dime. In fact it's just the opposite. It takes two football fields to stop at 70mph. These big boys gross weight is 80,000 pounds, that 4o tons of inertia. When someone is hurt or killed by a tractor trailer, the trucker has to live the rest of his life with this memory. Truckers are human too. This incident that happened on highway 19, was tragic. Not only for the victim and his family but also for the trucker. He did not ask for this to happen and from the reports, it looks like the truck driver did nothing wrong. So please be careful around these large cars called big rigs, the life you save may be your own. 2 Truckers beaten A Carriers Obligation to Truckers

BUFFALO, NY- May 7, 2024 – A new #research paper was #published in Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science) Volume 16, Issue 8, entitled, “Associations among NMR-measured inflammatory and metabolic biomarkers and accelerated aging in cardiac catheterization patients.” Research into aging has grown substantially with the creation of molecular biomarkers of biological age that can be used to determine age acceleration. Concurrently, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) assessment of biomarkers of inflammation and metabolism provides researchers with new ways to examine intermediate risk factors for chronic disease. In this new study, researchers Henry Raab, Elizabeth R. Hauser, Lydia Coulter Kwee, Svati H. Shah, William E. Kraus, and Cavin K. Ward-Caviness from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Duke University used data from a cardiac catheterization cohort to examine associations between biomarkers of cardiometabolic health and accelerated aging assessed using both gene expression (Transcriptomic Age) and DNA methylation (Hannum Age, GrimAge, Horvath Age, and Phenotypic Age). “This study utilizes the CATHGEN cohort from the Jiang et al. study to investigate associations between multiple epigenetic and transcriptomic aging biomarkers and a broad array of NMR-based measures of inflammation, lipid homeostasis, and diabetes risk.” Linear regression models were used to associate accelerated aging with each outcome (cardiometabolic health biomarkers) while adjusting for chronological age, sex, race, and neighborhood socioeconomic status. Their study shows a robust association between GlycA and GrimAge (5.71, 95% CI = 4.36, 7.05, P = 7.94 × 10−16), Hannum Age (1.81, 95% CI = 0.65, 2.98, P = 2.30 × 10−3), and Phenotypic Age (2.88, 95% CI = 1.91, 3.87, P = 1.21 × 10−8). The researchers also saw inverse associations between apolipoprotein A-1 and aging biomarkers. “These associations provide insight into the relationship between aging and cardiometabolic health that may be informative for vulnerable populations.” DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/aging.205758 Corresponding authors - Cavin K.

Today, Doug Pike interviews Dr. Matthew Davis about catheterization.

BEST TO WATCH THIS ON VIDEO POSTED IN OUR FACEBOOK COMMUNITY!   Join the conversation: https://www.facebook.com/groups/590215372864282   Welcome, everyone, to the Nurse to Nurse Podcast, where we engage in candid conversations with Kevin and Starshema. We are truly grateful for your presence today.   In today's episode, Kevin will be taking the spotlight as we delve into the various types of urinary catheters, their proper usage, and potential complications.   Before we dive into our topic, let's take a moment to recap what catheterization entails.   As most of you are already aware, urinary catheterization is a widely employed medical procedure that aids in the drainage of urine from the bladder. It involves the gentle insertion of a slender and flexible tube, known as a catheter, into the urinary tract. This procedure is typically employed when a patient experiences difficulty urinating naturally or when there is a need to closely monitor and manage urinary output.   As healthcare professionals, it is crucial for us to grasp the fundamental principles and techniques of catheterization. By doing so, we can provide the highest standard of care and safeguard the well-being of our patients.   So, without further ado, let's jump right into today's episode where we'll be discussing urinary catheter types, step-by-step instructions, and potential complications.   More of the topics discussed:  1:13 The different types of Foley Catheter 3:24 Why and when to use 100% Silicone Foley Catheter 4:52 What are Coude Catheter 6:03 Look at the risk versus the benefit.

This week we review a recent report of a new technique to implant SAPIEN valves for transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement in which 1-3 stents are implanted simultaneously with the SAPIEN valve. What are the potential benefits or disadvantages of this approach and who might be a better candidate for this method? Why is a stent needed outside of the relatively strong SAPIEN prosthesis and how does the team in San Diego choose bare metal vs. covered stents when performing this procedure? We speak with pediatric interventional cardiologist Dr. Jessica Heibel of Pediatrix in San Antonio, Texas about a recent work she co-authored with the team at Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego, California. Dr. Heibel reviews many of the finer points of transcatheter valve implantation this week. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jscai.2022.100553

Heart Failure Preserved/Reduced Ejection Fraction (HFpEF/HFrEF)- HFpEF is a Preserved Ejcetion Fraction over about 50% - HFpEF - congestive phenotype more of a fluid retention       - an exercise intolerant phenotupe where the patient becomes intolerant of exercise induced dyspnea.       - Pulm HTN phenotype       - Increased pressure in the heart that gets transmitted to the lungs - HRrEF is Reduced EF is usually below 40% Medications- 4 classes of medications (MRAs, BB, SGLT2, ARNIs) - Treatment with mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) has been demonstrated to improve clinical outcomes in patients with HFrEF with mild to severe symptoms and also in patients with left ventricular dysfunciton after myocardial infarction. - SGLT2 inhibitors reduced the risk of cardiovascular death and hospitalizations for heart failure in a broad range of patients with heart failure, supporting their role as a foundational therapy for heart failure, irrespective of ejection fraction or care setting. - ARNI (angiotensin receptor/neprilysin inhibitor) medication is a newer treatment for heart failure. The combination of sacubitril and valsartan has helped people live longer and have a better quality of life. - Comprehensive EF therapy involves BB, ARNI, MRAs, angiotensin receptor/neprilysin inhibitors. Spironolactone, SGLT2 inhibitors. Treatment- Traditional therapy usually involves a BB and ACE inhibitor. - Currently we should be looking at comprehensive therapy when it comes to HF treatment.       - STOP USING LISINOPRIL.- SGLT2 inhibitors contraindicated ketoacidosis, amputation UTI, weight loss       - (SGLT2 inhibitors) DAPA-HF trial showed that dapagliflozin was superior to placebo at preventing cardiovascular deaths and heart failure events among patients with heart failure.  (Source: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1911303#article_citing_articles ) - Catheterization - a vast majority of HF patients will need a right heart catheterization. - Cardiac pulmonary pressure monitoring Cardio MEMS - same day outpatient surgery which helps with medication adjustments and hospitalization in half. Works regardless of EF. - CardioVere laser spectroscopy which uses different wavelengths to detect light characteristics to determine the level of edema/fluid present wihin someone's tissues. Currently in development. - Casana is a toilet seat with certain sensors that detect and monitor impedance that check levels between different tissues, monitors HR and weight. - Cardiac contractility modulation causing electrical stumulation during a particular contraction of the myocyets it will augment potential (like a pacemeaker). -CORCHINCH - HF trial catheter based device that cinches up the heart, thereby making it smaller. It works more efficiently.  (Source: Clinical Evaluation of the AccuCinch® Ventricular Restoration System in Patients Who Present With Symptomatic Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF): The CORCINCH-HF Study) Novel Treatments- Atrial shunting procedure is investigational trials. Potentially impactful in exercise capacity and pressures but stay tuned as the verdict is not out. HfPEF exercise induced intolerance may be the best candidate. - SVC trial feasibility trial more durable effects of cardiac output.  Stay tuned. - LVAD for advanced therapies. Sometimes a bridge for candidacy as well as recovery. - Biventricular pacing has shown promise. *Heart failure is a problematic clinical disease entity with significant morbidity and mortality often leading to comprehensive medical management. It is often beneficial to enlist the help of our heart failure colleagues for these complicated patients.  Thanks to Dr. Peter Eckman - MHI heart failure specialist for his knowledge and contribution to this podcast.

Comprehensive, relevant and insightful conversations about health and medicine happen here… on MedStar Health Doc Talk.    …real conversations with physician experts from around the largest healthcare system in the Maryland-DC region.The best way to a person's heart is through the wrist, at least according to the experts when it comes to a cardiac catheterization. Cardiac catheterization is a minimally invasive way to diagnose and treat a variety of heart and vascular conditions by guiding thin, flexible tubes called catheters through blood vessels to problem areas. Traditionally, this procedure was done through the femoral artery in the groin. But the gold standard today is using the transradial approach – accessing the coronary arteries through a small IV in the wrist. Transradial cardiac catheterization offers many advantages for patients including faster recovery, less pain, and less risk of bleeding.Our Interventional Cardiology Program is a national leader in this technique, and the doctors at MedStar Health use it in 90 percent or more of their cases — double the national average. Dr. John Wang, Chief of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at MedStar Union Memorial Hospital, and Dr. Antony Kaliyadan, an interventional cardiologist at MedStar Union Memorial Hospital explain this technique and its many advantages for patients. They also talk about why someone would need a catheterization, why more doctors haven't adopted this method, and why patients should ask their doctor if they can do the catheterization through the wrist. Learn about their “radial-first” approach, and the new innovations and technologies on the horizon in interventional cardiology.

Who was the first person to close holes in the heart between the upper chambers of the heart in the cath lab? What exactly is interventional cardiology and why is it important? What future devices do our Heart Warriors have to look forward to? Today's episode is entitled “The Making of a Louisiana Legend” and our guest is Dr. Terry King.Dr. Terry King completed his training in Pediatrics and Pediatric Cardiology at the University of Texas and Duke University. He started practicing in 1965, caring for children in the state of Louisiana.In 1975, Dr. King and Dr. Noel Mills invented the “cardiac umbrella” to close holes in the heart without surgery and were the first to implant the device in humans. This technology forever changed how structural defects in the heart are repaired, both in children and adults. They were nominated for the Nobel Prize in Physiology in 1976.Dr. King considers the greatest responsibility you can give another person is the care of your child and he has dedicated his life and work to educating others on this important journey. He has helped to build the capacity of scholars and researchers in the field, delivering lectures and establishing a pediatric symposium for health professionals.He has helped to establish Neonatal and Pediatric Intensive Care Units in underserved areas of Louisiana to assist children with heart disease and their families who have no other means of receiving care. Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/HearttoHeart)

CardioNerds (Amit Goyal and Daniel Ambinder), are joined by guest host Dr. Alex Pipilas (CardioNerds Ambassader, Boston University), and Cleveland Clinic fellows, Dr. Gary Parizher, Dr. Ambreen Ali, and Dr. Tiffany Dong. They discuss a case of an 18-year-old man with Autism Spectrum Disorder presented with advanced nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy. Due to anxiety, he was unable to tolerate right heart catheterization, and the initial evaluation for advanced heart failure therapies was deferred. With assistance from a multidisciplinary team, catheterization was successful, and he underwent cardiac transplantation. Faculty experts, Dr. Richard Dane Meredith (Cardiovascular Imaging, Mission healthcare), Dr. Julie Niezgoda (Congenital Cardiac Anesthesiologist, CCF), and Dr. Ran Lee (Critical Care Cardiology and Advanced HF/Transplant Cardiologist, CCF) provide the E-CPR for this episode.

Episode Teaching Pearls - Heart Failure with Autism Spectrum Disorder Autism spectrum disorder should not be regarded as a contraindication to organ transplantation.Respect for patient discomfort with procedures, and efforts to mitigate that discomfort, are essential.A multidisciplinary team approach, especially one utilizing allied health support services, is important to provide care to adolescent patients with advanced organ dysfunction, particularly those with developmental disabilities. Notes - Heart Failure with Autism Spectrum Disorder Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability characterized by impairments in social interaction and the presence of restricted, repetitive patterns of behaviors, interests, or activities (2). In 2016 the CDC estimated one in 54 children age 8 had ASD (3). Despite ASD's prevalence, studies of organ transplantation in children and adolescents with developmental disabilities are lacking. Guidelines from the International Society for Heart Lung Transplantation indicate that heart transplantation cannot be recommended in patients suffering from severe cognitive-behavioral disabilities (4). However, the definition of “severe” is not clear, so the assessment of severity of a cognitive impairment, as well as whether the impairment constitutes a contraindication to organ transplantation, falls to healthcare providers on a case-by-case basis.             Cardiac transplantation in a patient with ASD has been documented previously (5). Nonetheless our case represents an important example of advocacy for lifesaving care in patients with developmental disability. Without any one component of the team taking care of our patient, including physicians and allied healthcare providers, he would have died of refractory cardiogenic shock. However, with individualized care and a multidisciplinary combined effort, his providers were able to overcome the obstacles posed by his ASD and deliver indicated interventions.
