William H. Sauer, MD, FHRS, CCDS, Brigham and Women's Hospital is joined by Jorge Romero, MD, FHRS, Brigham and Women's Hospital-Harvard Medical School, and Joshua Cooper, MD, FHRS, Temple University Health System to discuss how the posterior wall isolation (PWI) is commonly incorporated into catheter ablation (CA) strategies for persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) in an attempt to improve outcomes. In the CAPLA randomized study, adjunctive PWI did not improve freedom from atrial arrhythmia at 12 months compared with pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) alone. Whether additional PWI reduces arrhythmia recurrence over the longer term remains unknown.  https://www.hrsonline.org/education/TheLead https://doi.org/10.1093/eurheartj/ehae580 Host Disclosure(s): W.

Friendships don't just happen; they take nurturing to grow and deepen.  This episode is dedicated to friendships and the meaningful ways friends make our lives better. In this episode, the Surgeon General is joined by his two pals Sunny and Dave. Together, they have what's called a moai.  Moais are a friendship tradition from Okinawa, Japan – essentially, it is a friend circle that starts in childhood. Moais offer emotional and moral support, and the effect on people's health can be remarkably positive. In Okinawa, an island known for some of the longest life expectancy in the world, some moais have lasted for over 90 years!  This episode is an invitation to a unique and deeply personal space, as Dr. Murthy and his friends talk about the power of being seen and valued for who you are.   We hope this episode inspires you to build and strengthen connections in your life.

In a commentary published in the Journal of Clinical Psychopharmacology, Dr. Rishab Gupta (Brigham and Women's Hospital/Harvard Medical School) and Dr. Swarndeep Singh (Government Medical College and Hospital, Chandigarh, India) cast a critical eye on India's regulatory approval for the use of endoxifen for the treatment of manic episodes in patients with bipolar disorder type 1. In their article and in this podcast, they suggest that there are important deficiencies in the research that was used to support the regulatory approval. No other country has approved endoxifen for treating bipolar disorder. They caution that endoxifen should be considered as an option to treat acute mania only after a careful consideration of risks/benefits with the patient and their family and after providing them with a list of alternative medications.

SooJin and Hannah round out this 4-part series by talking with Hannah's cousin, Laura Holsen. Laura reflects on how she used to notice interracial couples and wonder what that experience must be like. Then she fell in love with and married someone from a different racial background! Laura's relationship with her spouse, Sunny, has greatly shifted her awareness around privilege and motivates her to do more within her spheres of influence. In her role as a clinical neuroscientist at Brigham and Women's Hospital - Harvard Medical School, Laura is actively learning about and implementing diversity, equity, and inclusion. We discuss how the field of psychiatry has a long way to go to become antiracist. Ultimately, this conversation inspires us to reconnect with our personal histories and respective ancestral healing practices in order to expand the ways in which we remedy illness, address trauma, and repair harm. Resources:Visions, IncGather  - documentary film on NetflixThis Land is Their Land  by David SilvermanMass General Brigham - United Against Racism: https://www.massgeneralbrigham.org/who-we-are/united-against-racismDr. Camara Phyllis Jones: https://www.msm.edu/about_us/FacultyDirectory/CommunityHealthPreventiveMedicine/CamaraJones/index.phpDr. Tamarra James-Todd: https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/tamarra-james-todd/National Institutes of Health DEI strategic plan: https://diversity.nih.gov/about-us/strategic-plan

Gifty Kwakye, MD is a Clinical Assistant Professor for Surgery in the division of colorectal surgery at University of Michigan. Dr Kwakye completed her medical school from Yale University and holds a Masters in Public Health from Johns Hopkins. She completed her general surgery residency at the Brigham and Women's Hospital/Harvard Medical School and colorectal surgery fellowship at the University of Minnesota. Dr Kwakye joined the faculty at the University of Michigan in 2018. As a resident she received multiple awards including the Robert T. Osteen and the Partners Health System Medical Education awards for excellence in teaching. Her passion for global health was also recognized with a Global Health Scholarship award from Johns Hopkins during her public health training. Sometimes it seems like our dreams are too big for us. But it is these dreams that propel us forward. Dr. Gifty Kwakye shares how dreaming big guided her from a village in Ghana to a medical school at Yale University. Today, a surgeon at the University of Michigan, Dr. Kwakye emphasizes the role of mentors as "cheerleaders", the importance of believing in yourself, and connecting to our "why" as the keys to unlocking success. She leaves us with a message of dreaming big and being surprised at how many times those dreams actually come true! Pearls of Wisdom: 1. Stay connected to your why and put it on the wall. Use it as a tool to pick you up when the going gets tough. 2. Mentors are attracted to mentees who know their why, what drives them, and are able to communicate it such that the mentor can really pick up that passion because it's that passion that connects the mentor and the mentee. 3. Medicine is not a sprint; it's a marathon. It's not how quickly we can finish. It's whether we finish at the top of our game.

Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Immunology Faculty Member of the Department of Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital, Dr. Kate Jeffrey, joins the show to discuss her work in the field of virology and immunology. In this episode, you will learn: How the gut virome of healthy individuals differs from the gut virome of individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) What the difference is between a symbiont and pathobiont, and how the former can become damaging What genes are triggered by viruses coming from healthy versus unhealthy individuals What complex immune disease are on the rise, and how they are a combination of environmental triggers and genetic susceptibility Microorganisms: trillions of them live in or on us, many of which we need just as much as they need us. But how exactly do they shape and educate our immune systems? And how might the answer differ if we were asking about viruses instead of microbes? These are just a couple of the questions that Dr. Jeffrey explores in her work, along with a close look at the influence of epigenetics on the function of our immune cells. In her lab, a brand-new field of study is under the spotlight: the virome. Dr. Jeffrey says that of the trillions of viruses on earth, we can only identify about 6,000. Although we certainly don't know the extent to which it occurs, we do know that there is evidence that viruses have an impact on the function of immune cells. Dr. Jeffrey explains the process of studying this, which involves extracting viruses from resected sections of inflamed colons from patients with IBD, and testing those viruses in the lab to see how they interact with immune cells such as macrophages, which act as the first line of defense in the immune system. Through this research, they have found that viruses from a healthy gut essentially lead macrophages to be in an anti-inflammatory state, which means all the genes that define a macrophage as being anti-inflammatory are triggered by a virus coming from a healthy gut. To the contrary, viruses from an IBD individual trigger all of the classic inflammatory genes.

This week we review a recent work on contrast induced acute kidney injury in the ACHD patient undergoing catheterization. Are there data to suggest what a safe volume of dye might be in this population of patients? Does the renal response to contrast suggest something about the general health of the patient? How does the team in Boston plan catheterizations in the adult congenital population to minimize contrast usage? We review these questions and others with the first author of this work, Dr. Laura Gellis, who is a senior clinical fellow in cardiology in the Department of Cardiology, Boston Children's Hospital - Harvard Medical School. doi: 10.1002/ccd.27798.
