Sandeep A Saha, MD, MS, FHRS, Oregon Heart Center PC is joined by Saket Sanghai, MD, FHRS, Oregon Health & Science University, and Naga Venkata Krishna Chand Pothineni, MD, Kansas City Heart Rhythm Institute, to discuss how the study evaluated the effectiveness of implantable loop recorders (ILRs) in detecting arrhythmias in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Traditional monitoring methods, like Holter monitors, often miss intermittent arrhythmic events in HCM patients. ILRs, offering continuous long-term monitoring, were found to identify clinically significant arrhythmias that might otherwise go undetected. The findings suggest that ILRs can play a crucial role in risk stratification and management of HCM patients, potentially guiding decisions regarding interventions such as implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) implantation. Overall, ILRs enhance the detection of arrhythmias in HCM, leading to improved patient care. https://www.hrsonline.org/education/TheLead https://www.jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacep.2025.03.005 Host Disclosure(s): S.

Hosts Mitsuaki Sawano, MD, and Nobuhiro Ikemura, MD, welcome Yoshitaka Kimura, MD, PhD, of Leiden University Medical Center, to discuss proactive ablation strategies in patients with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF). Dr. Kimura presents data from a long-term, single-center study evaluating electroanatomical mapping and preventive ablation of slow-conducting anatomical isthmuses (SCAI) in rTOF patients without prior ventricular tachycardia (VT). The findings show that identifying and successfully ablating SCAI significantly reduced VT incidence, with all VT events occurring in patients where ablation failed. Moreover, this approach reduced the proportion of patients qualifying for ICD implantation from 25–51% under current guidelines to just 11%. Dr. Kimura underscores a paradigm shift in congenital heart disease management—from treating VT reactively to preventing it proactively—highlighting the value of data-driven, tailored care strategies that avoid unnecessary device implantation and better target high-risk individuals.

Radiology reports are rich in clinical detail, yet ICD-10 codes often fail to fully capture the complexity and specificity of imaging findings.That is why the producers of Talk Ten Tuesdays and ICD10monitor have invited Laura Manser to explore the most common disconnects between radiology documentation and ICD-10 coding – especially in areas like incidental findings, laterality, and linking imaging results to medical necessity.During the next edition of the weekly broadcast, Manser is also expected to highlight common errors, such as coding suggestive findings as definitive diagnoses, and provide practical guidance on bridging the gap between documentation and compliance.Also part of the live broadcast will be these instantly recognizable panelists, who will report more news during their segments:• Social Determinants of Health: Tiffany Ferguson, CEO for Phoenix Medical Management, Inc., will report on the news that is happening at the intersection of medical record auditing and the SDoH.• The Coding Report: Christine Geiger, Assistant Vice President of Acute and Post-Acute Coding Services for First Class Solutions, will report on the latest coding news.• News Desk: Timothy Powell, ICD10monitor national correspondent, will anchor the Talk Ten Tuesdays News Desk.• MyTalk: Angela Comfort, veteran healthcare subject-matter expert, will co-host the long-running and popular weekly Internet broadcast. Comfort is the Assistant Vice President of Revenue Integrity for Montefiore Health.

His specialties include behavior genetics, clinical and personality psychology, quantitative psychology, personality disorders, aging, and health. He is one of the most highly cited psychologists in the world. He is part ofthe leadership of an international project, The Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP), which aims to articulate a taxonomy of symptoms that provide researchers and practitioners with a means to describe an individual's mental health issues, as well as their major and minor symptoms, along a spectrum. In this episode, we start by talking about how psychiatric disorders are classified in the DSM and the ICD. We discuss what a mental disorder is, and the relationship between personality traits and psychopathology. We then talk about The Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology, the relationship between symptoms and traits, etiology and causal influences, and how disorders are classified within this framework. We also talk about a general factor of psychopathology, and personality disorders. Finally, we discuss subjective wellbeing, and how it relates to personality traits.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Discover actionable frameworks and expert perspectives on leveraging AI in clinical environments to minimize hallucinations, enhance accuracy, and maintain relevance in a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape.
In this piece we discuss pain medicine with Nadine Attal, a neurologist and pain medicine specialist from France, and Allen Finley, an anesthesiologist and pain medicine specialist from Canada. The episode delves into neuropathic pain and the need to personalize its management, and efforts to standardize the management of paediatric pain in Canada. We talk about the ICD-11 which recognizes chronic pain as a disease, and ChildKind.org which nurtures holistic and responsive support for children or all ages and abilities. Presented by Andy Cumpstey and Kate Leslie on location at the Annual Scientific Meeting of the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists and Faculty of Pain Medicine in Cairns, Australia, with their guests, Professor Nadine Attal, Director for the Center of Evaluation and Treatment of Pain, Ambroise Paré Hospital, Paris, France, and Professor Allen Finley, Professor of Anesthesia and Psychology at Dalhousie University, and Medical Director of Pediatric Pain Management at IWK Health Centre in Halifax.

This week we review a recent editorial commentary by Drs. Belinda Gray, Rachel Lampert and Michael Papadakis on the concept of the personalized emergency action plan for the patient with genetic heart disease who is 'returning to play' in vigorous sports. With newer data demonstrating that risk for SCA or SCD is perhaps not as high as was once thought in this setting of sport, can the development of a personalized emergency action plan further enhance safety beyond simple measures such as medical adherence? Who should be involved in drafting this emergency action plan and how does this feature in the concept of 'shared decision-making'? DOI: 10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.124.072830

The discussion explores how accurate documentation and thoughtful use of codes can impact everything from individual reimbursement to hospital funding and staffing. Dr. Duncan explains the key differences between critical care and intensive care coding, highlighting how misunderstanding these definitions can lead to missed opportunities for appropriate billing. The conversation also delves into the complexities of CPT and ICD-10 codes, bundled versus unbundled services, and how Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG) systems influence hospital revenue. They discuss how proper coding affects downstream resources, including staffing, and why the financial viability of neonatal units depends in part on getting this right. Dr. Duncan reflects on the need for better education in this area, particularly for trainees, and shares practical resources and upcoming initiatives aimed at helping clinicians build this essential skill set. This episode offers an eye-opening look at a topic often overlooked in medical training, but vital to the sustainability of neonatal care.

The amount of time children and adolescents spend with a screen is absolutely stunning. Lots of people, including parents, health leaders, educators, elected leaders from both parties I might mention, and even children themselves, are highly concerned and are discussing what might be done about all this. I'm delighted to begin this series of podcasts on children and screen time. Today we're welcoming two very special guests who can talk about this topic in general, and especially about what's being done to protect children and adolescents. Several podcasts will follow this one that deal with food and nutrition in particular. Our first guest, Kris Perry, is Executive Director of Children and Screens, an organization devoted to protecting children. In the digital world by addressing media's impact on child development, communicating state-of-the-art information, and working with policymakers. Prior to joining children in Screens, Kris was senior advisor of the Governor of California and Deputy Secretary of the California Health and Human Services Agency. Our other guest, Dr. Dimitri Christakis is a professor of pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine, and director of the Center for Child Health Behavior and Development at Seattle Children's. He's also editor-in-chief of JAMA Pediatrics and both Chief Scientific Officer and Chair of the Scientific Advisory Board of Children and Screens. He's also the co-editor of a new book that I'm very excited to discuss. Interview Summary Download The Handbook of Children and Screens: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-69362-5 Kris, let's start with you. Could you set the stage and give us some sense of how much time children spend in front of screens, children and adolescents, and what devices are being used and what kind of trends are you seeing? Yes, I'd be happy to. I had better news for your listeners, but as you might imagine, since the advent of the smartphone and social media, the youth digital media use has been increasing each year. Especially as children get older and have increasing demands on their time to use screens. But let's just start at the beginning of the lifespan and talk about kids under the age of two who shockingly are spending as much as two hours a day on screens. Most spend about 50 minutes, but there's a significant chunk spending up to two hours. And that rises to three or three to five hours in childhood. And eventually in adolescence, approximately eight and a half hours a day our adolescents are spending online. Also wanted to talk a little bit about middle childhood children, six to 12 years of age. 70% of them already have a social media account, and we all know social media wasn't designed for children. And there are restrictions on children under 13 using them, and yet children six to 12 most have an account already. Over half of four-year-olds have a tablet and two thirds of children have their own device by the age of eight; and 90% of teens. This probably won't be surprising, and yet we should really think about what this means; that 90% of teens are using YouTube, 60% are on TikTok and Instagram, and 55% use Snapchat. I'll stop by ending on a really alarming statistic. Oh my, there's more? There's more. I know it! I told you. I'll be the bearer of bad news so that we can talk about solutions later. But, children are checking their devices as often as 300 times per day. 300 times. 300 times per day, and we're talking about screen time right now. And we know that when you're using time to be on screens, you are not doing something else. And we know that childhood is full of challenges and skill building and mastery that requires repetition and tenacity and grit and effort. And the more children are on their screens, whether it's social media or other entertainment, they're not doing one of these other critical child development tasks. That's pretty amazing. And the fact that the older kids are spending more time on before a screen than they are in school is pretty alarming. And the younger, the really youngest kids, that's especially alarming. So, Dimitri, why should we fret about this? And I realize that fret is kind of a mild word here. Maybe all I'll panic would be better. But what are some of the major concerns? Well, I don't think panic is ever the right reaction, but the numbers Kris conveyed, you know, I think do paint a, let's say, concerning story. You know, the simple reality is that there's only so much time in a day. And if you think about it, teenagers in particular should sleep for eight to 10 hours a day at a minimum. They really should be in school six and a half, seven hours a day. And then when you add the numbers, Kris conveyed, you realize that something's giving because there isn't enough time left to spend eight and a half hours a day. The two things at a minimum that are giving are sleep. Kids are losing sleep to be on screens. And I'm sorry to say that they're losing school while they're on screens. We just published a paper that used passive sensing to see where and when children are on their screens. And found that the typical child in the United States spends an hour and a half during the school day on their device. And it's not, before any of your guests ask, on Wikipedia or Encyclopedia Britannica. It's on the usual suspects of social media, TikTok, etc. So, you know, we talk about displacement, and I think it's pretty obvious what's being displaced during school hours. Its time focused on learning if it's in the classroom, and time focused on being authentically present in real time and space if it's during recess. School hours are precious in that way, and I think it is concerning that they're spending that much time in school. And I told you the median. Of course, some kids are above that, a significant half of them are above it. And at the high end, they're spending 30 to 40% of school time on screens. Now, some schools have enacted policies. They don't typically enforce them very well. One of the things that drives me nuts, Kelly, is that as an academic, you know we love to argue amongst ourselves and hem and haw. And this issue about whether or not there's such a phenomenon as digital addiction is still being hotly debated. Honestly, the only behavioral addiction that's being seriously considered at this point is gaming disorder. The DSM-5 didn't consider gaming, considered it, but didn't include, it said it needed further study in 2013. In 2022, the WHO did include gaming disorder as an ICD-11 diagnosis. But just as further evidence how slow science is compared to technology., I mean gaming, while it's still an entity, represents a small fraction of most people's screen time. And the numbers that Kris conveyed, a small fraction of that for some on average was gaming. For some people, it's their screen use of choice, but for many, it's social media. YouTube, although I consider YouTube to be a social media, etc. And at the high end when you hear the numbers Kris conveyed in my mind that's a behavioral addiction any way you define it. Well, and if you think about things that we all agree are addictive, like nicotine and alcohol and heroin, people aren't doing it 300 times a day. So it's really pretty remarkable. And that's exactly right. One of the salient criteria for those addictions is that it's interfering with activities of daily living. Well, you can't be on a screen for nine hours a day when you're supposed to be asleep for 10 and at school for six without interfering with activities of day. The math isn't there. And things like being physically active and going out and playing. That's right. It doesn't add up. So, you don't need the DSM-5. You don't need a psychiatrist. You need a mathematician to tell you that there's too much time on this thing. Alright, so Kris, talk to us if you will, about the Children and Screens organization. I have a lot of respect for the organization and its work. Tell us how it got started and what its objectives are. Well, it's so great to be on this show with you and get to see you in your day job, Kelly. Because you've been an advisor, like Dimitri, to the institute almost since its inception, which is in 2013. As you know, our founder, Dr. Pamela Hurst-Della Pietra, really became concerned as a parent about the way digital media was impacting her children and sought out some answers. Well, what does this mean? Why is this happening? What should I do? And found out that this, of course, is 2013, this is a long time ago. There wasn't that much research yet. And it was multidisciplinary. In other words, there might be a study among neuroscientists or developmental psychologists, even ophthalmologists. But there really hadn't been, yet, a concerted effort to bring these different disciplines and the research together to try to answer some of these hard questions about the impact on kids. And lo and behold, here we are, almost 13 years since the advent of the smartphone and social media. And there is an astounding amount of research across disciplines. So, what we do at the institute is we try to translate it as fast as we can and make it actionable for parents, providers, and policy makers. And we do that through our Ask the Experts webinar series where we bring the experts themselves directly to our audience to talk about these impacts and answer questions. We also create printables, you might say, like tip sheets and Research at a Glance Digest, and newsletters and FAQs and we've upgraded our website to make it very navigable for parents of kids of all ages. I even started my own podcast this year, which has been really fun. Dimitri was my first guest, so it's great to see him here. And we have convenings. We're having our third Digital Media Developing Mind Scientific Congress this summer where the experts come together in person to discuss issues. And we really try to focus them on advancing research and supporting it, translating it, and positioning the issue as a policy priority. We'll be in Washington, DC where we know lawmakers are grappling with the impact of digital media on child development, how to make online, products safer for kids and protect their data. The Institute is in the middle of all of this, trying to facilitate more discussion, more results and more support for parents primarily. Kris, a couple of things occur to me. One is that the breadth of work you do is really very impressive because you're not only having very hands-on kind of in the real world ex advice for parents on how to navigate this world, but you have advice for and helpful resources for policy makers and for researchers and people. It's really quite an impressive breadth of work. The other thing that occurred to me is that I don't think you and I would have any podcast career at all if it hadn't been for Dimitri helping us out. So thanks Dimitri. Yeah. So, let me ask you, Dimitri, so I know that both you and Kris are committed to an evidence-based approach to making policy. Yeah. But technology advances way more quickly than scientists can evaluate it. Much less come up with policies to deal with it. And by the time research gets funded, completed, published, you're on to eight new levels of technology. So how does one handle this fundamental problem of pace? It's a really good question. I mean, I can tell you that we should at a minimum learn from the mistakes we've made in the past. And, you know, one of the most critical, frankly, that most people don't really understand is that we talk about the age at which children get social media accounts in this country. Kris pointed out that actually pre-teens routinely have social media accounts. Social media companies do very little to age gate. They're trying to do more now, but even the age at which we've accepted it is being normative is 13. Few people know where that comes from. That doesn't come from talking to pediatricians, psychologists, parents about what age is the appropriate age. It comes entirely from COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act), which basically was the original privacy act that said that before the age of 13, companies could not collect data from children. So, because these companies were interested in collecting data, they set the age at 13 so as to not have any constraints on the data they collected. Well, that's not even common sense-based policy, let alone evidence-based policy. And it's never been revisited since. It's very troubling to me. And as things move forward, I think we have to learn from those mistakes. Medicine has a maxim which is do no harm. We use that phrase a lot and I think it's a good one in this case. I think it's a particularly good one as we see the new technologies emerging around artificial intelligence. And you know, again, like any new technology, it has incredible upside. We made the mistake and we're still paying for it, about not appreciating the downsides of social network sites, and frankly, the internet in general. And I would hope we put guardrails in place now. And if you will apply the same standard we apply to other non-technology based products. You can't introduce a new pharmaceutical to anybody, let alone to children, until you show it's safe and effective. You can't bring toys to the world that are dangerous. Why do we have more safety precautions around toys than we do around websites for children? You know, a lot of it involves changing defaults, doesn't it? Because if the default is that government or somebody out there has to prove that something is harmful before it gets taken away. That changes everything then if you began at a different point where these companies have to prove that these things are safe. Correct. Or they're permitted. Then the companies would find workarounds and they would play games with that too, but at least that would help some. Well, it would help some. And at least we'd be philosophically in the right place. By the way, Kris didn't say it, so I'll say it. You know, the mission of Children and Screens, lest we sound like Luddites here, is not get kids away from technology. Take away their smartphones. We all recognize that technology is here to stay. I think all of us appreciate the incredible upside that it brings to children's lives. The mission of Children and Screens is to help children lead healthy lives in a digital world. And part of the reason she and I often talk about the concerns we have is because the pros make the case for themselves. I mean, you know, no one needs to come here and tell you how amazing it is that you could Google something or that you could get somewhere with GPS. I mean, we know it's amazing and we all rely on it. And none of us are ever talking about getting rid of that stuff. That makes good sense. It's like, you know, children benefit from the fact that they can get around with their parents in the automobile. But you want to have car seats in there to protect them. Exactly. And that's exactly right. There needs to be assurances of safety and they're none. I mean, they're really virtually none. The age getting is a joke. And even if we accept it as effective, the age set of 13 is too young, in my opinion. We started this conversation talking about these medias being addictive, I believe they're addictive. There are legitimate academics that will debate me on that, and I'm happy to join that debate. But as I said before, it's a tough argument to win when people spending upwards of 10 to 16 hours a day doing it. I don't know what you call that besides addictive. We can argue about what percentage are doing that, but nevertheless, once you accept something as addictive, for other addictive things we immediately age gate it above 18 or 21, right? Mm-hmm. We don't believe that the teenagers have the ability to regulate their alcohol or tobacco or gambling, all of which we accept are addictive. In fact, in the case of alcohol, we raised the age from 18 to 21 because we thought even 18-year-olds weren't able to do it. And yet somehow for this behavior, we think of it as just so different that it doesn't require greater cognitive capacity. And I don't believe that. Yeah, very good point. Kris, let me ask you a question about how you and your colleagues at Children and Screens set priorities because there are a lot of things that one could potentially worry about as outcomes. There's violence that kids see on social media. There's cognitive and brain development, social developments, social interactions, and bullying. Mental health, body image, diet, all these things are out there. How do you decide what to work on? Well, we try to work on all of it. And in fact, we've built up a fair amount of expertise and resources around almost 25 different topics. And we also understand that, you know, childhood is a long period of time. Birth to 18, birth to 21, birth to 25, depending on who you talk to. So, we're able to take those 25 topics and also provide deeper, you might say, resources that address the different stages of development. We're really trying to do as much as we can. What's been interesting over these last few years is trying to figure out when to be reactive, when to be proactive. And by being proactive, we go out looking for the research, translating it, digesting it, and creating materials with it that we think are really accessible and actionable. At the same time, as Dimitri points out, there are policy windows and there are opportunities that present themselves that you have to react to. If you just only talk about what you want to talk about to each other you're missing some of these external opportunities to inform policy and policy makers. Help influence the way that parents and providers are talking about the issue. Framing it in such a way that engages youth and makes them want what we want for them. We're really excited by increasing opportunities to partner in coalitions with others that care about kids and teachers and nurses and doctors. But we also are speaking directly to leaders in states and school districts at the federal level, at the local level. You would be, I'm sure, not surprised to hear that we are contacted every day by groups that support parents and families. Asking for resources, asking for support, because they're seeing the impact now over many years on their children, their development. Their academic ability. Their cognitive and analytical ability. Their social emotional ability. Their ability to pay attention to tasks that we all know are critical in building that foundation for essentially, you know, future success. The Institute is being pulled in many directions. Ee try really hard to be strategic about what are people asking us for? What does the research say and how can we get that to them as quickly as possible? Dimitri - Can I add to that? You know, I want to emphasize that the concern around the effects of screen use on children's lives is shared by parents on both sides of the aisle. 75% of parents are concerned about the impact of screens on their children's lives. 35% of teenagers are concerned about their dependents on screens and that it has a negative effect on their lives. Actually by some studies, some surveys, even more than 35 to 50% of teenagers are concerned. And both sides of the political aisle agree in large part of this. And Kris and Kelly, you guys are the policy wonks, you can speak more to that. So it's a serious indictment on us as grownups and as a society that we have not done more to deliver on this issue. Why? When there's bipartisan agreement amongst many policymakers. This is not a political [00:22:00] issue to speak of and there is widespread concern on the part of parents and even teenagers. Why is nothing happening? Well, one has to look no further than where the money is. And that's a problem. I mean, that's a serious indictment on our political system when we can't deliver something that is needed and basically wanted by everybody but the industry itself. We'll come back and talk in a few moments about the policy issues and where industry gets involved here. But let me take just a bit of a detour from that and talk about the book that I mentioned earlier, because I think it's such a valuable resource. Now, when I mention the name of this book I'm urging our listeners to write this down or to remember it because you can get the book at no cost. And I'll come back, Kris, and explain what made that possible and why the decision was to make this an open access book. But Dimitri, let's begin with you. So you, along with Lauren Hale, edited this book that's entitled, The Handbook of Children and Screens: Digital Media Development and Wellbeing From Birth Through Adolescence. I think it's an extraordinary piece of work, but tell, tell us about the book. It was an extraordinary undertaking. There's I think 178 or 180 authors. Literally, it's a who's who of experts in children and media research in all disciplines. It represents pediatrics, psychiatry, psychology, communications experts, demography, lawyers, neuroscientists. I don't know who I'm forgetting. Every single discipline is represented. Leading scientists in all of those areas. Virtually every topic that someone might be of interest to people. And we deliberately made the chapters short and easily accessible. So, it is, I think, a great resource for the constituents we serve. For teachers, for parents, for researchers, for policymakers. And it is free. The hardest part of it, to be honest, as an editor, was getting peer reviewers because unfortunately, every expert was conflicted since they all had an article in it. But it was a long time coming. And again, this was really the brainchild of Pam (Pamela Hurst-Della Pietra) and we're grateful to have brought it along. So, you go all the way from the neuroscience, how children's brains are reacting to this, all the way out there into the public policy and legal arena about what can be done about it. And then kind of everything in between. It's remarkable how much the book covers. It's almost a thousand pages. I mean, it is a tome to be sure. And don't forget to mention, Dimitri, we aren't even two months post publication, and we have 1.6 million views of the document, despite its gargantuan size. I think that is really a tribute to experts like you and others that have really studied this issue and can speak directly to its impacts. It's been great to see the success so far. You know, not a small number of those views is from me logging on. And then a million from me and then we got there. So, it is free because it's online and you can download it. You can also order a hard copy for I think, $60, but I'm not sure why you would do that if you can download it for free. But it's up to you. So, Kris, it's unusual for a book like this to be made open access and free to the general public. What made that possible and why was that so important? We want the maximum number of people to use it and treat it like the premier resource that it is. And the only way you can really do that is to fund it to be open access and find a publisher that does open access publishing, which we did with Springer. I mean, most journal articles are behind a paywall and publishers do require you to purchase either a subscription or the document itself to download it or order it. And we just really wanted maximum access. So, we funded it to be published in that way. And I think honestly, it helped us even sort of create it in the first place. People want to be a part of something that has that level of access and is available so widely. So, I think it was a kind of mutually beneficial. It gets more people to read it, but it got more people to write for it too, I think. Right, Dimitri? Dimitri - I agree. I mean, you know, the numbers 1.6 million are extraordinary. I mean, Kelly, you've been internal editor. I mean, as a editor of JAMA Pediatrics, if an article gets 70,000 views, it's in our top 1%, you know, 200,000 views is 0.01%. 1.6 million in growing is really extraordinary. And that's about the number of people that read my articles. 1.6. And of course, they're not all scientists. I mean, many of them are parents and maybe are policy makers, but that's Kris's point, you know. The moment anyone hits a paywall, even if it's a dollar or two, they're going to walk away. It's great to see it get so much traction. Alright, so again, for our listeners, the title of the book is The Handbook of Children and Screens. And it's really a terrific resource. Alright, so let's turn our attention to a really important matter. And we've sort of touched on this, but who's in charge of protecting our children? You know, Dimitri at the end of the day help survey this landscape for us. I mean, is it congress, is it the administrative branch of government? What role do the courts play? Are there legal actors taking meaningful action? What's being done does it come anywhere near, meeting the need. Tell us about what that landscape is like? Well, there isn't adequate protections for children. And we talked a little bit about that earlier. There's been an enormous loophole, unfortunately, created by Congress when they added the Section 230 to the Communications Decency Act in 1996. And that was put in place essentially to provide protections for internet companies. And it basically said that they should be treated like bookstores and not publishers. That they weren't responsible for content they were just conveying it. And what that means, in effect, was that the companies had sort of carte blanche to do whatever they want. And they've used that very effectively, legally, to argue that any restriction, any culpability on their part, is protected by that Act. That they're exonified for any ill that occurs as a result of their product. The only exception that's been made of it, to date, was around sex trafficking on back page, if anyone remembers that. But other than that, social media sites and internet sites in general have been able to say that they're not liable for anything that's done. And I think that was a huge mistake that was made. It needs to be rectified. It's being challenged in the courts presently. My own belief is that, and I'm not speaking as a lawyer, is that when that law was passed, it was under the assumption as I said, that they were just conveying information. No one at the time foresaw the development of algorithms that would feed the information. It's really not a bookstore when you are making recommendations. Once you start recommending things, I think you're no longer merely a purveyor of product. You're actually pushing it. So, Kris, tell us about the Children and Screens and the role the organization plays in this space. And how do you deal with policy and is it possible to be bipartisan? Yeah, I mean, it's essential. There's no way to get anything done, anywhere on these policy matters at a population level without working in a bipartisan or non-partisan manner, which is what we've always done. And it's easy to do that when you're following the science, not ideology. And you're putting the science first and you're creating resources and tools and support for those mostly staffers, honestly, that are trying to help their bosses get smarter and better at talking about these issues as they evolve and become more complicated over time. It takes more effort to staff a lawmaker on this front. And they're very anxious to learn and understand because they're meeting with parents of children who have been harmed. Or frankly didn't even survive their childhood because of the social media platform. There's great urgency on the part of policymakers. We've heard everything from school phone bans to outright social media bans proposed as policies. And one thing I like to come back to is it's one thing to want to take action and make your best guess at what would have the best impact. But it's another thing to study whether or not that policy actually achieved its result. And it's a part of this that by staying bipartisan, nonpartisan allows us to say, 'Hey lawmaker, if you're able to get that to happen, we'd really like to come in and help study whether or not your idea actually achieves the results that you wanted, or if it needs to be adjusted or amended over time.' Fantastic. That's so important to be doing that work, and I'm delighted the organization is doing it. Let me ask a question here. If you think about some of the areas of public health that I've been following, like tobacco, for example. Opioids more recently. Vaping products. And in the case of my own particular work food policy. The administrative legislative branches of government have been almost completely ineffective. If I think about food policy over the years, relatively little has been accomplished. Even though lots of people have worked really hard on it. Same thing happened with tobacco for many years. Opioids, same thing. And it's until you get the third branch of government involved, the judiciary, and you start suing the actors who were causing the harm do you get much action. Not only do the lawsuits seem to have an effect, but they soften the ground for legislative things that then can occur because public opinion has changed. And then those things help make a difference as well. What do you think about that kind of issue in this space? I think you're exactly right. I mean, I think the failure of our legislative branch to enact policy leaves us with very few options at this point anyway, except to try to pursue it through the judiciary. There are challenges there. First and foremost, it's a big and well-funded industry, not unlike tobacco or big food, as you mentioned and there's this Section 230 that's given them kind of blanket immunity to date. But there are many, many very large pending cases in several jurisdictions brought by individuals, brought by school districts, brought by states. And those, at least provisionally have gotten further than prior cases have with which have been thrown out based on Section 230. So, we'll see what happens with that litigation. But right now, my guess is it's the best chance we have to set some guardrails. And I think there are plenty of guardrails that could be set. Everything that these companies have done to make their products addictive can be undone. Can be made protective. The tobacco company deliberately designed their products to be addictive. While they tried to make the claims that they were less addictive, you know. They made light cigarettes that had holes in the filter so that it would diffuse the carbon and nicotine, but people quickly learned they could cover those up with their fingers and think they were smoking light cigarettes, and smoke more of them. There's a lot of things that can be done in this space to undesign the problematic nature of the products. And quite apart from the financial settlements, which will get companies attention, I hope that that's part of any settlement if it gets that far. It'll be interesting to see where those go. And, also historically, one important part of these lawsuits is what gets turned up in discovery. And what sort of intent the companies have and how much do they know about harms. And how much do they know about addiction and things like that. And how they might have proceeded in the face of that information that then doesn't get disclosed to the public. In any event, we'll see where that goes. Dimitri, what about the argument that responsibility resides with parents. It's up to parents to protect their kids from this, and government doesn't need to be involved. I've never understood that argument. I mean parents obviously are children's most important safeguard, but as a society, we enact policies and laws to assist parents in that. I mean to me, if I made the argument, well, why, why do we have minimum ages of drinking. It's parents' job to make sure their kids don't drink. How would that possibly play out? Look, it's hard enough as a parent anyway, because kids do get around these laws. But we still have them and it's a lot easier as a parent. I think most parents would agree their life's made easier by minimum age restrictions on certain things. We have seatbelt laws. I mean, why do we have seatbelt laws? Why don't we just tell its parents' job to make sure their kids buckle up? The truth is its society and parents working hand in hand to try and keep children safe. And I think it also helps parents to be able to say that there are laws around this, and I expect you to follow the laws. So, I don't think it's an either or. Okay, well, I think that's a very good way to frame it. There are many, many precedents where we protect children. And why not do it here too? So let me end with a question I'd like to ask both of you. So, in this sea of concerns that we've discussed, is there a reason for optimism? And Kris, let me start, start with you. What do you think? Absolutely. I think the young people I've met that are leading among their peers are incredibly impressive and are armed with the research and their energy and their own lived experience in ways that are very compelling. At the same time, I think the vast amount of research that has now been compiled and translated and acted upon, whether in courtrooms or in state houses, it's becoming more, and we're all getting more steeped and aware of more nuanced information. And finally, I would just say, there is a tipping point. We are reaching as a society, adults and kids alike, we are reaching a tipping point where we can't withstand the pressure of technology in every aspect, every corner of our day, our life. And we want relief. We deserve relief. And I think that's what's going to take us over the finish line. Good. Well, I'm glad to hear those optimistic notes. Dimitri, what about you? I can find reasons to be optimistic. I mean, look, the reality is that technologies have enriched our lives in many ways. And I think if we put guardrails in place, we can make sure that future ones do even better. I have a piece coming out in JAMA Pediatrics around the use of AI, which people are very concerned about, I think rightly. But specifically, about the use of AI and people with intellectual developmental disabilities, making the use case, that there are ways in which it could be extremely beneficial to that population. A population I care deeply about in my role as the Chief Health Officer at Special Olympics International. And in particular, let's say in terms of the doctor patient interaction where it could facilitate their communication with their provider, and it could also help the provider better communicate with them. Look, that use case isn't going to be a priority for the purveyors of artificial intelligence. It's a small, non-lucrative use of a technology. But it's a good one. And if we created the right incentives and put in the right guardrails, we could find many other ways that technology can serve the needs of all of us going forward. I think the problem is that we've tended to be reactive rather than proactive. And to not start with the do no harm first premise, particularly when it comes to children. AI is another example of that where I hope we don't make the same mistake we made with social media. Bios Kris Perry is the executive director of the Children and Screens Institute. Kris most recently served as Senior Advisor to Governor Gavin Newsom of California and Deputy Secretary of the California Health and Human Services Agency where she led the development of the California Master Plan for Early Learning and Care and the expansion of access to high-quality early childhood programs. She led systems change efforts at the local, state and national levels in her roles as executive director of First 5 San Mateo, First 5 California and of the First Five Years Fund. Through it all, Perry has fought to protect children, improve and expand early learning programs, and increase investments in low-income children. Perry was instrumental in returning marriage equality to California after the landmark 2013 U.S. Supreme Court ruling Hollingsworth v. Perry, which she wrote about in her book Love on Trial (Roaring Forties Press, 2017). Dimitri Christakis, MD, MPH is the Children and Screens Institute's inaugural Chief Science Officer. He is also the George Adkins Professor at the University of Washington, Editor in Chief of JAMA Pediatrics, and the Chief Health Officer at Special Olympics International. Christakis is a leading expert on how media affects child health and development. He has published over 270 peer reviewed articles (h-index 101) including dozens of media-related studies and co-authored a groundbreaking book, The Elephant in the Living Room: Make Television Work for Your Kids. His work has been featured on Anderson Cooper 360, the Today Show, ABC, NBC, and CBS news as well as all major national newspapers. Christakis received his undergraduate degree at Yale University and his medical training at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and completed his residency and Robert Wood Johnson Clinical Scholar Fellowship at the University of Washington School of Medicine.
Gastroenterologist Mark Pimentel discusses his article, "SIBO and IBS: the hidden link keeping millions in pain." Mark explains how small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is frequently misdiagnosed or overlooked due to its symptom overlap with other GI conditions, particularly irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). He outlines the evolution of diagnostic tools like hydrogen, methane, and hydrogen sulfide breath tests, the clinical relevance of new ICD-10 codes, and the FDA-approved treatment rifaximin. Mark emphasizes that the most effective treatment remains the elemental diet—now made more palatable thanks to food science innovation. He urges increased awareness, clinician education, and research to bring this hidden condition to light and improve patient outcomes. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.

#203 Weiblicher Narzissmus – mit Dr. Bärbel Wardetzki Der April dreht sich in einer kleinen Sonderreihe um ein Thema, das ich für aktueller, relevanter und dringlicher denn je halte. Nicht nur, weil es uns als Individuen und auch als Gesellschaft mehr betrifft, als uns vielleicht bewusst ist, sondern auch, weil wir meines Erachtens einen zu eindimensionalen Blick darauf haben. Es geht um Narzissmus. Laut ICD 10 sind nur 0,5 bis 2,5 % der Bevölkerung von einer narzisstischen Persönlichkeitsstörung betroffen, in der ICD 11 gibt es dieses Krankheitsbild gar nicht mehr, es gibt nur noch die allgemeine Persönlichkeitsstörung, die dann differenziert erforscht werden soll, wo ein Mensch aufgrund seiner Symptomatiken welche Hilfe braucht.

Social Determinants of Health, or SDOH, are a buzzword these days—but often little more. We acknowledge their importance, but actual progress on capture (and subsequent patient support) has been slow. To be fair real barriers including technological limitations and limited financial incentives stand in the way. But my current guest understands better than most the major role SDOH play in patient health. He and his organization have developed a digital tool to facilitate capture and improve the lives of patients in their community. They're making a difference. Dr. Pablo Buitron de la Vega is Assistant Professor of Medicine, Medical Director, Preventive Medicine Residency, and Clinician Lead for the THRIVE Social Determinants of Health Program at Boston Medical Center / Boston University School of Medicine. A native of Ecuador, he's made SDOH his mission. On this show we cover: Dr. de la Vega's long journey from Ecuador to U.S. physician, the obstacles he overcame, and how the experience shaped his mission as a provider Defining SDOH and common examples in his line of work as a Boston physician Basics of capture in ICD-10 and what makes SDOH difficult to collect Boston Medical Center's SDOH capture tool, THRIVE: What it does, tangible benefits, and how your organization can get access Low-tech strategies for SDOH capture you can implement today Dr. de la Vega's National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant to develop a triage tool to help address patients' unmet social needs

Immer mehr Kunstschaffende bezeichnen sich selbst als neurodivers. Vor allem bei jungen Erwachsenen haben ADHS-Diagnosen Hochkonjunktur. Leben wir im Zeitalter eines «Diagnose-Enthusiasmus»? Gleichzeitig steigt das Bedürfnis nach mentaler Gesundheit. Digitale Diagnosen Jeder zehnte Mensch in der Schweiz ist wegen psychischer Probleme in Behandlung. Und auch in den sozialen Medien findet man immer mehr psychiatrische Diagnosen. Ist das alles ein Hype? Wem dient die Diagnostizierung: den Betroffenen oder der Gesellschaft? Die Soziologin Laura Wiesböck erörtert, warum psychologische Bezeichnungen in den sozialen Medien inflationär verwendet werden. Und Comedian Lisa Christ erklärt, warum sie sich bewusst dafür entschieden hat, auf Instagram über ihre ADHS-Diagnose zu sprechen. Gesundheit im Wandel Der Diagnosekatalog der Weltgesundheitsorganisation, die ICD-11, enthält Tausende Krankheitsbezeichnungen, sogenannte Codes. Immer wieder kommen neue hinzu. Andere fallen weg. Was als krank gilt, ist nicht nur Abbild des jeweiligen Forschungsstandes, sondern auch des Zeitgeists. Wer aber bestimmt, was wir krank nennen? Und wie therapieren wir? «Kulturplatz» hat in die Vergangenheit und in die Zukunft geblickt: mit einem Medizinhistoriker und einem Arzt. Kunst und ADHS ADHS und Kunst, das kann passen und ist doch oft schwierig. Wie lebt und arbeitet es sich auf Ritalin? Die Kinderbuch-Illustratorin Tanja Stephani lässt die Zuschauenden an ihrem Alltag teilhaben. Sie geht positiv mit ihrer Neurodiversität um. Wie sie erfahren immer mehr Betroffene erst als Erwachsene, warum ihnen manche Dinge so schwerfallen. «Hauptsache gesund» Wir leben in einer Zeit, in der «Mental Health»-Inhalte boomen. Leben wir bereits in einer Zeit des «Healthism», eines übersteigerten Gesundheitsstrebens? Aber wer sagt, was die Schweizerinnen und Schweizer unter «Gesundsein» verstehen? Das Stapferhaus in Lenzburg setzt sich auf vielfältige Weise mit dem Themenkomplex Gesundheit auseinander. In Zusammenarbeit mit Philosophen, Medizinerinnen, Historikern und Ökonominnen entsteht eine Ausstellung, die zum Nachdenken anregt.

CardioNerds (Dr. Rick Ferraro and Dr. Dan Ambinder) join Dr. Sri Mandava, Dr. David Meister, and Dr. Marissa Donatelle from the Columbia University Division of Cardiology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami. Expert commentary is provided by Dr. Pranav Venkataraman. They discuss the following case involving a patient with cardiac sarcoidosis presenting as STEMI: A 57-year-old man with a history of hyperlipidemia presented with sudden onset chest pain. On admission, he was vitally stable with a normal cardiorespiratory exam but appeared in acute distress and was diffusely diaphoretic. His ECG revealed sinus rhythm, a right bundle branch block (RBBB), and ST elevation in the inferior-posterior leads. He was promptly taken for emergent cardiac catheterization, which identified a complete thrombotic occlusion of the mid-left circumflex artery (LCX) and large obtuse marginal (OM) branch, with no underlying coronary atherosclerotic disease. Aspiration thrombectomy and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were performed, with one drug-eluting stent placed. An echocardiogram showed a left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) of 31%, hypokinesis of the inferior, lateral, and apical regions, and an apical left ventricular thrombus. The patient was started on triple therapy. A hypercoagulable workup was negative. A cardiac MRI was obtained to further evaluate non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. In conjunction with a subsequent CT chest, the results raised suspicion for cardiac sarcoidosis with systemic involvement. In view of a reduced EF and significant late-gadolinium enhancement, electrophysiology was consulted to evaluate for ICD candidacy. A decision was made to delay ICD implantation until a definitive diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis could be established by tissue biopsy. The patient was started on HF-GDMT and discharged with a LifeVest. Close outpatient follow-up with cardiology and electrophysiology was arranged.

Pearls - Cardiac Sarcoidosis Presenting as STEMI Cardiac sarcoidosis can present with a variety of symptoms, including arrhythmias, heart block, heart failure, or sudden cardiac death. Symptoms can be subtle or mimic other cardiac conditions. Conduction abnormalities, particularly AV block or ventricular arrhythmias, are common and may be the initial indication of cardiac involvement with sarcoidosis. The additive value of Echocardiography, FDG-PET, and cardiac MR is indispensable in the diagnostic workup of suspected cardiac sarcoidosis. Specific role of MRI/PET: Both cardiac MRI and FDG-PET provide a complementary role in the diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis. Cardiac MRI is an effective diagnostic screening tool with fairly high sensitivity but is limited by its inability to decipher inflammatory (“active” disease) versus fibrotic myocardium. FDG-PT helps to make this discrimination, refine the diagnosis, and guide clinical management. Ultimately, these studies are most useful when interpreted in the context of other clinical information. Primary prevention of sudden cardiac death in cardiac sarcoidosis focuses on risk stratification, with ICD placement for high-risk patients. For patients awaiting definitive diagnosis, a LifeVest may be used as a temporary measure to protect from sudden arrhythmic events until an ICD is placed. Notes - Cardiac Sarcoidosis Presenting as STEMI 1. Is STEMI always a result of coronary artery disease? By definition, a STEMI is an acute S-T segment elevation myocardial infarction. This occurs when there is occlusion of a major coronary artery, which results in transmural ischemia and damage,

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.

On this week's ADHD Women's Wellbeing 'Wisdom' episode, we revisit a clip from the incredible episode with Dr Tamara Rosier, the author of one of my favourite ADHD books, Your Brain's Not Broken. Tamara has been a college administrator, a professor, a leadership consultant, a high school teacher, a national public speaker, and an ADHD coach. Through those adventures, Dr Rosier has developed valuable insight into ADHD and how it affects one's life. As founder of the ADHD Center of West Michigan, she helps individuals, parents, and families develop an understanding and learn practical skills to live with ADHD effectively. Her book, Your Brain's Not Broken, provides strategies for navigating the powerful big emotional aspect of ADHD healthily. Tamara shares her experiences as a parent and ADHD coach, highlighting that emotional regulation isn't just about anger; it's about navigating the intense feelings that can arise in various situations. Join us as we unpack practical strategies for recognizing and managing these emotions, making our week ahead a little smoother.What You'll Learn:✨ How our big emotions, embarrassment, and shame impact emotional regulation.✨ Practical strategies to regulate overwhelming emotions.✨ The role of the prefrontal cortex—your brain's "butler"—in calming and sequencing thoughts.
Dr. Valentin Fuster discusses the February 2025 issue of JACC, which focuses on advancements in heart failure research. The discussion covers five key sections: heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, cardiac amyloidosis, standardization of kidney function, and ICD therapy for primary prevention in heart failure patients. Experts explore emerging therapies, diagnostic thresholds, and the potential impact of blood pressure and genetics on patient outcomes, underscoring the need for comprehensive approaches in managing these complex conditions.
CardioNerds (Dr. Colin Blumenthal and Dr. Saahil Jumkhawala) join Dr. Rohan Ganti, Dr. Nikita Mishra, and Dr. Jorge Naranjo from the Rutgers – Robert Wood Johnson program for a college basketball game, as the buzz around campus is high. They discuss the following case involving a patient with ventricular tachycardia: The case involves a 61-year-old man with a medical history of hypothyroidism, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, seizure disorder on anti-epileptic medications, and major depressive disorder, who presented to the ER following an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. During hospitalization, he experienced refractory polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT), requiring 18 defibrillation shocks. Further evaluation revealed non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). We review the initial management of electrical storm, special ECG considerations, diagnostic approaches once ischemia has been excluded, medications implicated in polymorphic VT, the role of multi-modality imaging in diagnosing hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and risk stratification for implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) placement in patients with HCM. Expert commentary is provided by Dr. Sabahat Bokhari. Episode audio was edited by CardioNerds Intern and student Dr. Pacey Wetstein. US Cardiology Review is now the official journal of CardioNerds!

Pearls - A Curious Case of Refractory Ventricular Tachycardia - Rutgers-Robert Wood Johnson Diagnostic Uncertainty in VT Storm: In VT storm, ischemia is a primary consideration; when coronary angiography excludes significant epicardial disease, alternative causes such as cardiomyopathies, channelopathies, myocarditis, electrolyte disturbances, or drug-induced arrhythmias must be explored. ST elevations in ECG lead aVR: ST elevations in lead aVR and diffuse ST depressions can sometimes represent post-arrest oxygen demand and myocardial mismatch rather than an acute coronary syndrome. This pattern may occur in the context of polymorphic VT (PMVT), where myocardial oxygen demands outstrip supply, especially after an arrest. While these ECG changes could suggest myocardial ischemia, caution is needed, as they might not always indicate coronary pathology. However, PMVT generally should raise suspicion for underlying coronary disease and may warrant a coronary angiogram for further evaluation. Medication Implications in PMVT and HCM: Certain medications, including psychotropic drugs (e.g., antidepressants, antipsychotics) and anti-epileptic drugs, can prolong the QT interval or interact with other drugs, thereby increasing the risk of polymorphic VT in patients with underlying conditions like HCM. Careful management of these medications is critical to avoid arrhythmic events in predisposed individuals. Multi-Modality Imaging in HCM: Cardiac MRI with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) is invaluable in assessing myocardial fibrosis, a key predictor of arrhythmic risk, and can guide decisions regarding ICD implantation. Echocardiography and contrast-enhanced CT can provide additional insights into structural abnormalities and risk assessment. Polymorphic VT in Nonobstructive HCM: Polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (PMVT) can occur in nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy due to myocardial fibrosis and disarray, even in the absence of significant late gadolinium enhancement and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. ICD Risk Stratification in HCM: Risk stratification for ICD placement in HCM includes assessment of clinical features such as family history of sudden cardiac death, history of unexplained syncope, presence of nonsustained VT on ambulatory monitoring,
