Send us Fan MailHeart disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, and one of its most important modifiable risk factors is elevated LDL cholesterol - the so-called "bad cholesterol." While statins have transformed cardiovascular care for decades, and newer therapies like injectable PCSK9 inhibitors have provided additional options, millions of patients still struggle to achieve recommended LDL cholesterol targets.In fact, despite the availability of effective therapies, roughly seventy percent of patients receiving cholesterol-lowering treatment still fail to reach guideline-recommended LDL cholesterol levels. The reasons are complex - from biology and treatment intensity to adherence and convenience - but the result is the same: preventable heart attacks, strokes, and cardiovascular deaths continue to occur.Now, a new chapter is beginning. Following years of clinical development, the FDA has approved LIPFENDRA™ (enlicitide), the first oral PCSK9 inhibitor, introducing an entirely new approach to LDL cholesterol reduction ( https://www.lipfendra.com/ ).Joining us today is someone uniquely qualified to help us understand what this approval means for physicians and patients.Dr. Norman Lepor, MD is Founder and Director of the National Heart Institute ( https://nationalheartinstitute.org/about/meet-our-team ), Clinical Professor of Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, and an Attending Cardiologist at the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai ( https://www.cedars-sinai.org/provider/norman-lepor-106852.html ). A graduate of Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Dr. Lepor has spent more than four decades advancing cardiovascular medicine through patient care, education, and clinical research. He has served as principal investigator on more than sixty clinical trials, authored dozens of influential scientific publications, and has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of America's leading cardiologists. Throughout his career he has also been a champion for women's cardiovascular health and improving access to cutting-edge care for underserved populations.Today we'll discuss why LDL cholesterol remains such a difficult public health challenge, what we've learned over the past three decades of lipid management, how oral PCSK9 inhibition works, and what this newly approved therapy may mean for the future of preventing heart attacks and strokes.#HeartHealth #Cholesterol #LDL #Cardiology #HeartDisease #Prevention #PreventiveMedicine #LIPFENDRA #Enlicitide #PCSK9 #PrecisionMedicine #Longevity #CardiovascularHealth #MedicalInnovation #Biotech #FutureOfMedicine #HealthyAging #SciencePodcast #ProgressPotentialPossibilities #PPPPodcastSupport the show

Importantly, if you are experiencing domestic violence, help is available - call 1-800-799-SAFE (7233).   Service Spotlight: Finding Time to Have a Heart and Raise AwarenessKelly LaPar (Senior Counsel for NRG Energy, Inc. in Operation and Generation) and Dr. Damian LaPar (Chief of Pediatric and Congenital Heart Surgery, Executive Co-Director of the UTHealth Houston Children's Heart Institute, and Professor in the Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery at McGovern Medical School) are co-chairing the American Heart Association - Houston Chapter's Houston Heart Ball this February. They address the importance of giving back and how to find the time to do that, and they provide some tips (and potential New Year's resolutions) for cardiovascular wellness. It is a timely and important topic for Houston lawyers. Segment Three: When Practice Areas Intersect: Immigration and Family LawBehind-the-Lines interviewer Rinku Ray talks with Ana Maria Schwartz (Principal of Schwartz Immigration Law, PLLC) about the ways immigration law and family law intersect and provides important insight into immigration issues family lawyers may need to be aware of. This is a very interesting interview that should be of interest to all lawyers. Segment Four: The Nuts & Bolts of Guardianship Cases, A Rewarding Pro Bono ExperienceNew Behind-the-Lines interviewer Jennifer Smith talks with Gerald Kimani (Gibson Dunn) about his extensive pro bono work on guardianship cases. Kimani discusses the substantive details about filing guardianship applications as well as the benefits of this important pro bono service, and he also briefly addresses helping obtain expunction orders on a pro bono basis. For full speaker bios, visit The Houston Lawyer (hba.org/thehoustonlawyer).

I got a ride from Norma to the Heart Institute and decided to run the eight kilometers home from there. Richmond Road was too noisy, so I turned onto a quiet street I'd never explored before, Ernest Avenue. I tried to take a shortcut through a bushy path but ended up tangled in blackberry thorns and had to reroute. After getting a bit lost behind the University of Victoria, I finally found my way back toward Mount Tolmie. I finished my run through Lambrick Park, where I had taken my very first run in Victoria back in 1997.

When you start to notice your heart rate increasing, that's a sign to back off a little bit.” “For most people, between 5 to maybe 8 breaths per minute for most people is going to be a rate for most people where we see heart rate variability.” ”For children as a starting point, it's great to make it into a game and to do it together.” ”Sometimes as little as 4-6 weeks is enough to retrain the brain for base level breathing.” ”Within 1-3 months, we are seeing significant shifts if there is regular training.” How to Connect with Dr. Miles Nichols Facebook - https://facebook.com/medicinewithheart Instagram - https://instagram.com/medicinewithheart Functional Medicine Clinic - https://MedicineWithHeart.com Functional Medicine Training Institute for Practitioners - https://MindBodyFunctionalMedicine.com      Dana Kay Resources:

Dr. Miles Nichols is the 37-year-old co-founder of the highly regarded Denver, Colorado based Lyme and mold treatment clinic: Medicine with Heart. He also co-founded the Medicine with Heart Institute to provide professional training to clinicians in the treatment of complex chronic diseases. Born into a high achieving Ivy League educated family, Dr. Nichols followed the family tradition and was accepted into gifted and talented educational programs through middle school. By the time he entered high school, a multitude of nagging childhood illnesses merged and presented as chronic fatigue causing his grades to decline. Debilitating fatigue forced Dr. Nichols to seek alternative educational models. He attended a school founded by a Buddhist Monk and then he gritted his way through graduate school. Unfortunately, his physician father and scores of doctor colleagues could not solve Dr Nichols' chronic fatigue puzzle. Finally, in 2016, Dr Nichols tested positive on a blood test for Lyme disease. In 2019, he tested positive for Babesia and Barronella. If you would like to learn more about how Lyme disease inspired a doctor to build a heart centered treatment institute in an effort to end suffering caused by Lyme and mold diseases, then tune in now!

A complex open heart surgery is an undertaking full of inherent risks, during which many things hang in the balance. But, what if some of that unforeseen risk could be mitigated?  What if the surgeon could hold your heart in their hands, study every detail, visualize every structure, even practice their operation on your heart before they ever made an actual cut, or even entered the operating room?  What if?Recent state-of-the-art developments in 3D imaging and 3D printing have been making this a reality in many hospitals, and have been changing the world of pediatric medicine - especially for children with congenital heart disease.From realistic, patient-specific heart models used in surgery planning and patient education, to medical devices specific to the smallest babies - this incredibly flexible and affordable technology has the potential to innovate care for many of the smallest patients and their families. At the same time, like many emerging technologies, the laws and regulations that govern 3D printing in the medical space have been outpaced by the speed of innovation. Dr. Justin Ryan of the Helen & Will Webster Foundation 3D Innovation Lab at Rady Children's Hospital, in San Diego, CA says that sometimes this phenomenon makes working in this field feel a little bit like the "Wild West." However, he and others are actively helping to bring guidelines up to speed in order to make this technology as safe as it can be, while also leveraging that same flexibility in order to maximize his creativity in finding solutions for the hospital's patients. When it comes to that creativity, Dr. Ryan also draws upon his background as a classically trained artist, and surprisingly, he sees many similarities between his work as a biomedical engineer and the artistic process. Join me as we talk with the team from the 3D Innovation Print Lab, and explore this exciting and rapidly growing technology and its increasingly significant impact on the world of medicine.EPISODE GUESTSDr. Justin Ryan – Dr. Ryan is a research scientist and Director of the Helen & Will Webster Foundation 3D Innovations Lab at Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego, CA. With a background both in art and biomedical engineering, Dr. Ryan brings a unique skill set to his work with the 3D Innovations Lab.Dr. Sanjeet Hegde - Dr. Hegde is a pediatric cardiologist, research scientist, and the Director of Research at the Heart Institute at Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego, CA.

Her advocacy, and courage to ask her medical team for what she thought her child needed, were a major catalyst in the integration of 3D printing into the medical care at Rady Children's Hospital.SUPPORTPlease consider supporting the important and innovative work of the Helen & Will Webster Foundation 3D Innovations Lab - you can find more information about how to do that HERE.*Episode Note - since initially producing this episode, the roles/titles of both Dr. Ryan and Dr. Hegde have changed.

Javed Butler, MD, is a Professor and Chairman of The Department of Medicine at The University of Mississippi. Prior to joining the University of Mississippi, he was the Director of the Division of Cardiovascular Medicine and the Co-Director of the Heart Institute at Stony Brook University in New York. Dr. Butler served as the Director for Heart Failure Research at Emory University and Director of the Heart and Heart-Lung transplant programs at Vanderbilt University prior to that. After completing his medical school in Pakistan, Dr. Butler completed his residency from Yale University and fellowships from Vanderbilt University and Harvard University. He also completed his Masters in Public Health degree from Harvard University and an MBA from Emory University. He serves on several national committees for the American College of Cardiology, the American Heart Association and the National Institutes of Health, and was recently elected as a member of the prestigious Association of University Cardiologists. Dr. Butler is the recipient of the Simon Dack Award by the American College of Cardiology and the Time, Feeling and Focus Award by the American Heart Association. What if we told you the world was, indeed, flat? Okay, fine. It's round. However: Dr. Javed Butler encourages us to adopt a mindset that everyone is equal, regardless of where they fall in the institutional hierarchy, and that we have a duty to treat every person with dignity and respect. Today, he offers sage advice as we continue on this path in medicine: Align our best opportunity with our best interest, and though it's important to recognize what we enjoy, it's even more critical we identify and avoid what we don't enjoy doing. Lastly, he encourages us to be truthful with our mentors and think about helping our mentors achieve their mission as we learn from them. Pearls of Wisdom: 1. View the world as flat. No one is above anyone else and we need to treat every person with dignity and respect. We are all equal. 2. Use the “meaningfulness equation” to align the best opportunity in the market with your best interest. 3. Do not be afraid to reach out to mentors. We should enter into these relationships with the mindset of helping them achieve their mission and learning in that process.
