Michael S. Chen graduated with a degree in investment banking. He worked at Hambrecht Quest, a smaller investment bank focusing on high tech and healthcare companies in New York City. After two years in investment banking, he decided to pursue medicine, inspired by his father's career as a cardiologist. He then went on to study internal medicine at UCSF, Cleveland Clinic, and then joined cardiac associates in Gaithersburg, Maryland. He has been with the practice for 18 years and is now the Chair of Cardiology at  Shady Grove Medical Center, and Medical Director of the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at White Oak Medical Center. Challenges Faced by Cardiac Catheterization Labs Michael discusses the challenges faced by cardiac catheterization labs in meeting performance measures and ensuring proper procedures. He highlights the need to balance equipment requests with limited budgets and prioritize patient care. He talks about the importance of cardiologist performance in heart attack patients, focusing on door to balloon time and other metrics like aspirin and blood thinners. He mentions the importance of assessing the overall performance of the hospital as a whole, focusing on reducing time spent on administrative tasks and ensuring patients are on the right medications.The conversation turns to steps patients can take to ensure they are prescribed the right medication. Interventional Cardiology Explained Michael goes on to explain what interventional cardiology is, what the new trends are, and he addresses common misconceptions. He discusses the learning process for new techniques and tools, such as fellowships and medical device reps. Michael notes that fellowships are the most effective method for learning new techniques, but it's important to stay updated and stay updated with medical device reps. Other methods include working with other doctors, attending training sessions, or learning online through YouTube videos. There are various ways to learn and improve in this field. Physicians and The Business of Healthcare Michael discusses the business of healthcare and the factors driving physicians to work with larger healthcare companies. He explains that larger practices have more bargaining power and can offer lower rates and financial security. However, there are drawbacks, such as the need to balance autonomy with financial security. Michael talks about the increasing trend of private equity investing in physician groups, such as anesthesia and cardiology. Private equity is seen as a way to ensure return on investment, which can sometimes be more expensive than providing the best care possible. Stressors for cardiologists include cash flow, meeting payroll, and meeting electronic medical records and government regulations. However, overall, the fit has been good and cardiologists have been happy with the situation.  Participating in the National Senior Games The conversation turns to fitness and sports. Michael keeps active in terms of exercise, running and working out. He recalls running a 5k five years ago and receiving a gift certificate from Panera for winning first place in his age division. He then qualified for the National Senior Games, (open to anybody 50 years and older) which features various events such as a 5k 10k, pickle ball, tennis, track and field, ping pong, basketball, and softball. Michael has competed in the National Senior Games in Fort Lauderdale and Pittsburgh. His mom competed in the 5K powerwalk and Michael competed in the 5K and 10 K road race. Michael came in 2nd in the 10K (and won a silver medal!) and 4th in the 5K in Pittsburgh in 2023, His mother placed 8th in the 5K Power walk in Fort Lauderdale in 2022. Michale mentions that he has a 5k coming up on Labor Day week, with his son running it with friends, and the National Senior Games.   Influential Harvard Professors and Courses Michael mentions Richard Taylor and TA Tom Roberts, and studying bipeds and quadruped to compare the energetics and mechanics. Part of the study included placing turkeys and chickens on a treadmill. They found that turkeys were quite stubborn and not smart, as they were not smart enough to run on a treadmill. They learned that turkeys were efficient at running and that their locomotion mechanics were efficient. They were fortunate to receive a Hoops Prize for their work, which ends up in the Lamont library. This experience was memorable, as the researchers' thesis is on display at the library.  Timestamps: 02:13: Transition to Medicine and Leadership Roles  07:56: Administrative Responsibilities and Performance Metrics  13:08 Advancements in Interventional Cardiology  20:56: Running a Medical Practice and Personal Interests  36:27: Connecting with Harvard Alumni and Future Plans  Links: Email: mchen2@adventisthealthcare.com Featured Non-profit: The featured non-profit of this episode is Cave Canem, recommended by Eisa Davis who reports: “Hi.

David Cohen is one of the smartest docs on Twitter. I learned a bunch talking with him. The procedure called transcatheter aortic valve implantation or TAVR is a damn miracle. In days of old, a heart surgeon would have to saw open the chest and cut out the heavily calcified immobile aortic valve and sew in a new one. I watched a case as a young doctor and came away shocked that patients survive this surgery. TAVR is even more stunning. Doctors place a valve up the aorta, across the diseased valve, and then place the new valve into the old valve. The verbs squishing or smooshing come to mind. The other unbelievable thing about TAVR is that strokes are less common than you'd think. When I first heard about TAVR, I thought: how is it not limited by all that debris going into the brain? Well, there is less debris than I would have thought. But not zero debris. In fact, there is one device on the market that forms a barrier between the aorta and the brain. We call it an embolic protection device (EPD) or cerebral embolic protection (CEP).Early studies show that the device catches debris that would have occluded blood vessels in the brain—iow, caused stroke. The pictures almost sell the device—because, obviously, catching debris has to be beneficial. But. But. There are always ‘but's' in Medicine. The PROTECTED TAVR trial, which compared TAVR with and without an embolic protection device failed to show a statistically significant reduction in stroke. It was a good trial, but it did not close the door for the device. For two reasons: one was that the trial was underpowered. The lower bound of the 95% confidence interval allowed for a 1.7% lower rate of stroke in the treatment arm. Neurologists feel that a 1% risk reduction in stroke is clinically important. The other reason was that a secondary endpoint of “disabling” stroke was 60% lower with the device. We needed more data. Another trial is not likely going to happen. Trials are expensive and take a long time. This is where Dr Cohen's group comes in. They performed an observational study looking at more than 400k patients in a TAVR registry. About 13% got the device and 87% did not. This is where Sensible Medicine readers should start feeling a rash. Why? Because you know how scary it is to try and compare outcomes in two groups of patients who were not randomized. Cohen, however, tells me about a super-interesting way to approximate randomization in this comparison. It's called an instrumental variable analysis. He explains this to me in clear terms during our conversation. I love methods so I was enthralled. But that isn't all. The other thing is that his study, like the PROTECTED TAVR trial, came up with tantalizing close results. We discuss that as well. I loved our talk.

Did you know stress can literally break your heart? Dr. Ward broke down the realities of Takatsubo cardiomyopathy, stressed the importance of timely intervention in heart attacks, and shared his insights on the Mediterranean diet for cardiac wellness. Plus, we got a glimpse into the high-stakes world of interventional cardiology—straight from the operation room. Stay heart-smart and catch the full episode for a deep dive into the art and science of keeping your ticker ticking! Remember, a healthy heart is a healthy start. Don't miss it!00:00:03 Understanding Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy and Broken Heart Syndrome with Dr. Michael WardDr. Mark Bonta discusses Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, also known as broken heart syndrome, with Dr. Michael Ward. They explore how the condition is often triggered by emotional stress, such as the loss of a loved one, leading to acute heart failure.00:01:03 Discussion on the Heart as a Muscle and Cardiac ConditionsDr. Michael Ward discusses the heart as a muscle that pumps and the various cardiac conditions patients may face, such as heart attacks, heart failure, and heart rhythm problems. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding the basic function of the heart for better management of cardiac health.00:02:26 Discussion with Dr. Michael Ward on Interventional Cardiology and Hypertrophic CardiomyopathyDr. Michael Ward is an expert in interventional cardiology who helps people prevent and recover from heart-related issues. He also focuses on hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a genetic condition affecting the heart. With a background in both medicine and research, he is a valuable asset at Western University in London, Ontario.00:03:50 Interview with Dr Michael Ward, Interventional CardiologistDr. Michael Ward, an interventional cardiologist with both an MD and a PhD, discusses his background in cell-based gene therapy and his interest in cardiovascular medicine. He shares insights on heart health, the importance of vacations for mental health, and his balanced lifestyle.00:07:18 Insight into the Fascinating Aspects of the Heart from an Interventional Cardiology PerspectiveDr Mark Bonta, an interventional cardiologist, shares his perspective on the intricate nature of the heart, highlighting how it responds to various stimuli and stressors. He emphasizes the role of the cardiovascular system in determining life and death outcomes and the potential for improving quality of life through cardiology interventions.00:11:14 Discussion on Interventional CardiologyDr. Mark Bonta discusses their work in interventional cardiology, including responding to emergencies like heart attacks and performing procedures in the catheterization laboratory. They describe the challenges faced by patients with heart conditions and the range of cases they handle.00:13:26 Understanding Cardiovascular System with Dr. Michael WardDr. Michael Ward talks about atherosclerosis as the accumulation of plaque in the arteries, which can lead to heart issues like angina and heart attacks. The discussion also touches on the difference between chronic accumulation of plaque and acute blockages causing heart attacks.00:18:01 Understanding Acute Heart Attacks and Plaque Ruptures in ArteriesAcute heart attacks can occur when plaque ruptures inside an artery, leading to a clot that blocks the artery and causes the heart attack. Platelets play a crucial role in responding to the rupture and forming clots to heal the affected area.00:19:44 Importance of Timely Intervention in Heart AttacksDuring a conversation between Dr. Mark Bonta and Dr. Michael Ward Interventional Cardiology, they discussed the critical importance of timely intervention in heart attacks. Dr. Bonta mentioned that when a heart attack occurs, time is of the essence as the muscle of the heart is deprived of blood flow. Historically, patients were given aspirin and blood thinners but no interventional procedures were done immediately.00:21:20 Advanced Cardiac Care Protocols in CanadaIn Canada, there are advanced protocols in place for managing ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) cases, including direct ambulance transportation to hospitals with cath labs. Time is crucial in treating cardiac emergencies to minimize heart muscle damage.00:23:51 Patient Experience in the Cath Lab: What to ExpectThe patient experience in the cath lab involves inserting a needle with a wire into their arteries, either through the wrists or groin. Patients may not feel much during the procedure, but there might be some sensations of discomfort or awareness of the procedure taking place.00:26:56 Understanding the Process of Opening Blocked Heart VesselsIn the conversation between Dr Mark Bonta and Dr Michael Ward Interventional Cardiology, they discuss the process of opening blocked heart vessels during angioplasty procedures. They talk about using topical lidocaine for anesthesia and how temporary discomfort may be felt when the blockage is being opened up. Dr Ward explains that a stent is not a rigid pipe but a meshwork that is placed in the living system of the coronary artery.00:29:41 Understanding Interventional Cardiology and StentingInterventional cardiology involves using contrast dye and x-ray cameras to map arteries and identify blockages. Stents are used to provide support and prevent arteries from narrowing, improving blood flow to the heart muscle. The decision to place a stent is based on the degree of blockage and the impact on blood flow.00:34:10 Discussion on Heart Health Interventions and Medical ManagementThe conversation between Dr. Mark Bonta and Dr. Michael Ward Interventional Cardiology delves into the topic of heart health interventions and the importance of medical management in cardiac care. They discuss the limitations of interventions like stents in treating moderate blockages and emphasize the significance of lifestyle changes and medications in preventing heart attacks and strokes.00:38:32 Preventing Cardiovascular Disease Through Exercise and MedicationsDr. Mark ...

In the latest episode of "The Heart of Innovation," hosts Kym McNicholas and Dr. John Phillips delve into the challenging journey of Dee and her 90-year-old mother, who is facing the complex issue of non-healing wounds caused by Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), restricted blood flow in mainly the leg arteries that can prevent critical nutrients, including oxygen, from reaching muscles, tissue, and nerves clear to the foot - nutrients that are essential for wound healing. Dee's mother has been struggling with a non-healing wound on her toe since 2019, which has led to a series of complications. From oxygen therapy to the diagnosis of osteomyelitis (bone infection), they have explored various treatments, but wounds persist. Now, Dee is determined to find the best specialist and facility to give her mother the greatest chance of success and minimize complications, which may include clearing blockages in her Mom's arteries below-the-knee and below-the-ankle into the pedal-plantar artery loop in the foot. In this episode, the hosts bring together a panel of experts in the field of PAD treatment, including Dr. Christopher Lee Stout, a Vascular Surgeon from Ozark Vascular in Arkansas, and Dr. Dan Simon, an Interventional Radiologist from Edison Radiology Group in New Jersey. Alongside show co-host Dr. John Phillips, an Interventional Cardiologist, they provide valuable insights and answer Dee's pressing questions. They focus specifically on the advanced stage of PAD, known as Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI), characterized by leg pain, leg cramps at night, and non-healing wounds on the foot or toe. The panel of physicians aims to address Dee's concerns and guide her in making informed decisions to save her mother's limb and improve her quality of life. They discuss the value of a multidisciplinary approach to treating CLI. They also drive home the importance of ensuring whomever she chooses has experience with treating an elderly patient with series comorbidities that include chronic heart failure (CHF) and advanced stage kidney disease, Plus, they educate Dee on the advance skillset and tools required to reduce radiation and contrast die during the procedure which could result in complete kidney failure.

Book an in-person consultation with Dr. Hurst today!   Welcome back to another episode of "The Healthspan Podcast" with your host, Dr. R. Todd Hurst. Today, we're joined by the phenomenal Dr. Rebecca Chester, an expert in interventional cardiology, who shares her insights into her daily practices, the fascinating world of stents, and the misconceptions surrounding chest pain.   In this conversation, Dr. Chester talks about her journey to becoming an interventional cardiologist. Despite the current imbalance with fewer women in cardiology, she shares her experiences and the key influences that guided her career path.   We delve into what her role as an interventional cardiologist entails, demystifying the intricacies of cardiac procedures. Dr. Chester explains that inserting catheters into hearts, while sounding risky, is generally safe and often crucial in saving lives.   One key topic we cover is the common assumption that blockages in heart arteries need to be fixed. Dr. Chester explains the difference between stable and unstable coronary artery disease, and how the approach to treatment varies between the two. She discusses the guidelines she uses to decide whether a patient is a suitable candidate for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), clarifying many common misconceptions.   Moving on, we explore the often-misunderstood realm of chest pain. Dr. Chester sheds light on the warning signs that someone experiencing chest pain or shortness of breath should seek medical attention and helps listeners discern heart-related chest pain from other causes.   For those with a history of heart attack or stent placement, we cover how often they should seek follow-up care and what they can expect during these visits.   Next, we discuss screening methods, including stress testing in asymptomatic people and CT calcium scoring. Dr. Chester explains the situations in which she recommends CT calcium scoring and how it informs her treatment decisions.   Finally, we look into the future with Dr. Chester sharing her thoughts on the most promising emerging technologies or techniques in interventional cardiology, what she loves most about her practice, and her crucial advice for patients who have experienced a heart attack or received a stent.   This episode is filled with invaluable insights and expert advice from one of the leading figures in interventional cardiology.

In this episode, host Dr. Aaron Fritts interviews Dr. Peter Soukas taking a deep dive into novel balloon technologies, appropriate uses below the knee, and how these new balloons are highly effective in treating patients with critical limb ischemia (CLI). Dr. Soukas explains how these new balloon technologies can minimize the risk of dissections (therefore decreasing the need for bailout stents), create effective lumen gain in concentric and eccentric calcified lesions with minimal recoil, and keep pressures low compared to legacy products. --- CHECK OUT OUR SPONSOR Cagent Vascular Serranator https://www.cagentvascular.com --- SHOW NOTES Dr. Soukas is an Interventional Cardiologist who is the Founder and Director of the Brown Vascular and Endovascular Medicine Fellowship program, serves as the Director of the Interventional PV Lab at the Lifespan Cardiovascular Institute of Brown, and an Associate Professor of Medicine at the Warren Alpert School of Medicine. We begin by discussing the treatment of CLI, particularly with new below the knee balloon angioplasty devices like the Cagent Serranator and how balloon tech has evolved over time. These new technologies allow for 1000x more force than previous balloon models through unique serration technology at significantly lesser pressures, minimizing the risk of barotrauma and iatrogenic lumen dissections, while allowing for effective luminal gain, and showing success in treating CLI even when calcified lesions are present. What's more is that there is now a variety of serration balloon lengths available, which was definitely a huge shortcoming in prior scoring balloons with limited sizing. While IVL is the preferred option in terms of treating concentric (360°) calcified lesions, new serration balloons are cheaper and show success in treating both concentric and eccentric calcified lesions with minimal recoil. Dr. Soukas and Dr. Fritts also go on to discuss how using IVUS is critical in visualizing the size, shape, and depth of possible calcifications but also important in picking the correctly sized serration-balloon to get the job done. Dr. Soukas also explains how the serration balloon technology is easily deployable, tracks very well within vasculature, and can even be used below the ankle if needed (with some pre-dilation of the lumen) stating that if the IVUS can fit, usually so can the serration balloon. To wrap up the episode we underscore how important it is to have the right tools in our toolbox to treat patients with CLI, getting as much “red gold” down to the foot as possible to avoid loss of the limb, and a few papers our listeners can check out to learn more about serration balloons (find linked in Resources below). --- RESOURCES CagentVascular.com Prospective Study of Serration Angioplasty in the Infrapopliteal Arteries Using the Serranator Device: PRELUDE BTK Study DOI: 10.1177/15266028211059917 Standard Balloon Angioplasty Versus Serranator Serration Balloon Angioplasty for the Treatment of Below-the-Knee Artery Occlusive Disease: A Single-Center Subanalysis From the PRELUDE-BTK Prospective Study DOI: 10.1177/15266028221134891 PRELUDE Prospective Study of the Serranator Device in the Treatment of Atherosclerotic Lesions in the Superficial Femoral and Popliteal Arteries DOI: 10.1177/1526602818820787

Chef Dr. Mike gives us an intro to Nutrigenomics, the study of how food affects your genes and how your genes affect the way your body responds to food.

The CardioNerds Cardiovascular Genomics Series continues! In this episode Dr. Dan Ambinder (CardioNerds Cofounder and Interventional Cardiologist), Dr. Anjali Wagle (FIT Ambassador at Johns Hopkins) and Dr. James Sampognaro (medicine resident at Johns Hopkins Osler Medicine Residency) learn from Dr. Allison Hays (Associate Professor of Medicine, Division of Cardiology, Johns Hopkins CMR researcher and Medical Director of Echocardiography) and Dr. Cindy James (Associate Professor of Medicine and certified genetic counselor at Johns Hopkins with research focusing on cardiovascular genetic counseling and arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathies). They discuss arrhythmogenic RV cardiomyopathy as the context to learn about genetic counseling and family screening.  Episode script and notes were developed by Dr. Anjali Wagle. Audio editing by CardioNerds Academy Intern, student doctor Chelsea Amo Tweneboah. This episode was developed in collaboration with the American Society of Preventive Cardiology and is supported with unrestricted educational funds from Illumina, Inc. All CardioNerds content is planned, produced, and reviewed solely by CardioNerds. This CardioNerds Cardiovascular Genomics series is a multi-institutional collaboration made possible by contributions of stellar fellow leads and expert faculty from several programs.

Show notes - Genetic Counseling & Family Screening in Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathies Notes (developed by Dr. Anjali Wagle)   What is the underlying pathophysiology of arrhythmogenic RV cardiomyopathy (ARVC)?  Fibrofatty replacement cardiac myocytes  Associated with genetically mediated disruption of desmosomal proteins   This leads to thinning and weakness of the heart that can lead to aneurysms and progressive dilatation and failure of the right ventricle (RV)  How is ARVC diagnosed?  2010 taskforce criteria (Marcus et al, 2010):    RV structural abnormalities including findings seen on echocardiogram, MRI, and RV angiography  Pathological criteria  Repolarization abnormalities   Depolarization/conduction abnormalities   Ventricular arrhythmias   Genetics and/or family history   How does ARVC present?   Young, healthy individual will have symptoms of arrhythmias (syncope, pre-syncope, SCD) or heart failure  Family screening   What are the inheritance and genetic factors of ARVC?  Autosomal dominant pattern  Low penetrance and variable expressivity   Half of patients who are index cases will be found to have a mutation in the desmosomal gene.   What are the most common mutations associated with ARVC?  Most commonly the genes involved are plakophilin-2 (PKP-2) and desmoplakin.   For PKP-2 the most common mutations are truncating mutations.   In patients who have inherited two truncating mutations, this will result in neonatal lethality.   Is there a difference in the genetic factors of left and right arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy?   ACM is disproportionally a right dominated cardiomyopathy. Left dominated cardiomyopathy has a different genetic profile.   Pathogenic variants in desmoplakin disproportionally cause biventricular forms of ACM or left dominated forms.
