Podcasts about Ischemia

Jay Gunkelman has read more than half a million brain scans. In this episode he and host Pete Jansons open a real before-and-after case and walk it frame by frame — eyes open and eyes closed, pre-treatment and post-treatment — so you can watch what changed. Going in: fast alpha racing at 11.5 Hz, 23 Hz beta spindling at the vertex driving insomnia, a slow edge of alpha buried in the left temporal lobe pointing at local ischemia and possible old head injury, and right-frontal beta carrying a depressive signature. Coming out: alpha stabilized toward 10 Hz, frontal beta down, left-temporal function dramatically improved. Then the bigger story — the refractory-psychiatry work Jay did with Ron Swatzyna and Nash Boutros, where roughly half of medication failures turned out to have a focal EEG biomarker that no pill could fix. As Jay puts it: you can't give soup to the whole brain.

SURGICAL EDUCATOR'S ACADEMY Advanced Online Surgery Masterclass Upper Limb Ischemia Overview ✔️Upper limb ischemia is significantly less common than lower limb ischemia with a ratio of approximately one to nine due to rich collateral networks and a lower workload. ✔️The vast majority of cases involve small vessel occlusive diseases affecting palmar and digital arteries while only ten percent involve large vessel occlusive disease.✔️ Common etiologies include Raynaud phenomenon and thoracic outlet syndrome plus thromboangiitis obliterans which is also known as Buerger disease. ✔️Diagnosis is primarily based on history and physical examination supported by non invasive imaging such as duplex scans and computed tomography angiography.Raynaud Phenomenon ✔️This is a dynamic vasospastic disorder of the small arteries and arterioles triggered by cold exposure or emotional stress. ✔️It is characterized by a pathognomonic triphasic color change where the digits turn white due to ischemia then blue due to deoxygenated blood and finally red due to reactive hyperemia. ✔️Primary Raynaud or Raynaud disease is idiopathic and symmetric and benign typically affecting young women without causing tissue loss. ✔️Secondary Raynaud or Raynaud syndrome is associated with underlying connective tissue diseases like scleroderma and carries a high risk of digital ulcers or gangrene. ✔️Management focuses on patient education and warmth and smoking cessation with calcium channel blockers like nifedipine as the first line pharmacotherapy for moderate to severe cases.Thoracic Outlet Syndrome ✔️This condition involves the compression of the neurovascular bundle as it exits the chest through the scalene triangle. ✔️It is classified into three types including neurogenic which accounts for ninety five percent of cases and venous and arterial. ✔️Arterial thoracic outlet syndrome is rare and often caused by mechanical compression from a cervical rib or an anomalous fibromuscular band. ✔️The most sensitive provocative maneuver is the EAST or Wright test where the patient abducts the arm to ninety degrees with external rotation to check for blanching or radial pulse weakening. ✔️Initial treatment for most patients is physiotherapy to improve posture while surgical decompression via rib resection and scalenectomy is reserved for refractory symptoms or significant arterial compromise.Thromboangiitis Obliterans or Buerger Disease✔️ This is a non atherosclerotic and segmental inflammatory occlusive disease of the small and medium sized arteries in the distal limbs. ✔️It predominantly affects young male smokers under the age of fifty. ✔️Diagnostic criteria include a history of tobacco use and onset before age fifty and distal arterial occlusion in the absence of atherosclerotic risk factors or proximal embolic sources. ✔️Arteriography typically reveals a characteristic corkscrew appearance of collateral vessels around the occlusions. ✔️The only definitive treatment that stops the progression of the disease and prevents amputation is absolute and permanent smoking cessation. ✔️Supportive therapies include intravenous iloprost for ulcer healing and sympathectomy to reduce vasospasm and manage refractory pain.Diagnostic and Management Pathways ✔️The diagnostic pathway begins with functional and non invasive tests such as bilateral segmental arm pressures and digital pulse volume recordings. ✔️Duplex ultrasound is essential for dynamic testing in suspected thoracic outlet syndrome while computed tomography angiography or magnetic resonance angiography provides anatomical mapping for surgical planning. ✔️Revascularization is generally successful for large vessel disease whereas small vessel vasospastic diseases are managed with supportive care and risk factor modification. ✔️Selective arteriography remains the gold standard for invasive imaging when planning complex interventions.

CLTI- Chronic  Limb Threatening IschemiaDefinition and Clinical Presentation ✔️Chronic Limb Threatening Ischemia is a clinical diagnosis defined by severe peripheral arterial disease causing ischemic rest pain or tissue loss such as non healing ulcers and gangrene that has persisted for more than two weeks. ✔️The hallmark symptom is nocturnal rest pain which is severe forefoot or toe pain that is worse when lying flat and is uniquely relieved by dangling the foot over the side of the bed. This position of dependency uses gravity to increase hydrostatic pressure and meet basic metabolic demands of the tissues. ✔️Physical examination signs include cool and shiny hairless skin with thick nails plus the presence of punched out distal ulcers or black dry gangrene.Classification and Risk ✔️Assessment Clinical severity is traditionally measured by the Rutherford system where category four indicates rest pain and categories five or six involve varying degrees of tissue loss. ✔️The modern gold standard for predicting amputation risk is the WIfI system which stands for Wound Ischemia and foot Infection. Each category in this system is graded from zero to three to determine the urgency of intervention. Patients with high WIfI scores are at a significantly increased risk of major limb loss within six months and require urgent evaluation.Diagnostic Evaluation ✔️The Ankle Brachial Index is the initial first line test but it is often falsely elevated above one point three zero in patients with diabetes or chronic kidney disease because of calcified and noncompressible vessels. ✔️In these instances a Toe Brachial Index of less than zero point seven zero or a toe pressure below thirty to forty millimeters of mercury is required to confirm the diagnosis. ✔️Computed Tomography Angiography is considered the gold standard imaging study to map the arterial anatomy and provide the necessary information for planning revascularization.Treatment and Revascularization Strategies ✔️Management of this condition requires urgent revascularization typically within days to weeks. ✔️Treatment options include endovascular techniques like balloon angioplasty and stenting which are less invasive and preferred for focal lesions or frail patients with high surgical risk. ✔️Open surgical bypass is indicated for fit patients with long segment arterial occlusions. The great saphenous vein is the gold standard conduit for bypass and must be preserved for leg salvage rather than being used for other procedures. After surgery a multidisciplinary team is essential for wound healing which can take three to six months.Medical Therapy and Long Term Prognosis ✔️Aggressive medical management is necessary to save the life of the patient even after the limb has been successfully salvaged. ✔️This includes high intensity statins and antiplatelet medications plus strict smoking cessation and diabetes optimization. Without this intensive therapy approximately fifty percent of patients will die from cardiovascular causes such as heart attack or stroke within five years. Additionally up to thirty percent of patients may still require a major amputation within five years highlighting the severe nature of the underlying systemic disease.

In dieser Folge spreche ich mit Prof. Dr. med. Uwe Nixdorff, Internist, Kardiologe, Sportmediziner und Gründer des European Prevention Center (EPC) in Düsseldorf, über die Todesursache Nummer 1 in Europa: Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen. Allein in Deutschland sterben jedes Jahr rund 345.000 Menschen am Herzinfarkt, und 60 bis 80 Prozent davon, bevor sie überhaupt im Krankenhaus ankommen. Gleichzeitig zeigen große Studien wie die Inter Heart Trial, dass sich rund 80 Prozent dieser Infarkte vermeiden ließen. Wir sprechen darüber, warum das klassische Belastungs-EKG für die Früherkennung längst nicht mehr ausreicht, was es mit der gefährlichen vulnerablen Plaque auf sich hat und warum nur moderne Bildgebung sie sichtbar macht. Prof. Nixdorff erklärt seinen evidenzbasierten Algorithmus, von der sorgfältigen Risikofaktoren-Anamnese über Pulswellenanalyse, Funduskopie und Age-Scan bis zum Herz-CT, das seit Kurzem auch von der Kasse für die Früherkennung anerkannt ist. Wir sprechen über Blutdruck-Zielwerte, die drei Säulen Bewegung, Ernährung und Entspannung, sinnvolle Wearables wie Continuous Glucose Monitoring und über die Frage, warum Selbstverantwortung in der Prävention so entscheidend ist. In dieser Folge sprechen wir u.a. über folgende Themen: - Warum die Letalität bei Herzinfarkt zurückgeht, die Morbidität aber steigt, und was das für den Healthspan bedeutet? - Was ist eine vulnerable Plaque, warum ist sie so tückisch und weshalb erkennt sie ein klassisches Belastungs-EKG nicht? - Wie sich die Pathophysiologie eines Herzinfarkts in zwei Minuten verstehen lässt, von Noxen über LDL-Oxidation bis zur Ruptur der Deckplatte? - Warum rund 80 Prozent der Herzinfarkte vermeidbar wären und was das für unser Gesundheitssystem bedeuten würde? - Welche Risikofaktoren laut Framingham und Inter Heart Trial wirklich zählen und welche Rolle psychosozialer Stress dabei spielt? - Warum der Body Mass Index nicht ideal ist und der Taillenumfang die deutlich aussagekräftigere Messgröße darstellt? - Was Pulswellenanalyse, Augmentationsindex und Pulswellengeschwindigkeit über die Arteriensteifigkeit verraten und welche dieser Werte reversibel sind? - Wie der Age-Scan über die Maillard-Reaktion sichtbar macht, was die Verzuckerung von Proteinen mit Atherosklerose zu tun hat? - Weshalb der Augenhintergrund einen arteriellen Hypertonus oft schon ein bis zwei Jahre vor der Manifestation anzeigt? - Wie sich Calcium-Scoring und kontrastmittelgestütztes Herz-CT unterscheiden und warum Letzteres den diagnostischen Herzkatheter weitgehend ersetzen kann? - Warum Stentimplantationen im stabilen Fall laut Studien wie ISCHEMIA und ORBITA prognostisch oft keinen Vorteil bringen? - Welche drei Lebensstil-Säulen die kardiologische Prävention tragen und welche Rolle Wearables wie CGM und Aura Ring dabei spielen?

Every leg saved has a story behind it — and this week on The Heart of Innovation, you'll meet the nurse practitioners who live those stories every day. Kym McNicholas and Dr. John Phillips chat with four remarkable OhioHealth NPs — Chelsea Jones, Elizabeth Murray, Brittany Byce, and Rebecca Lawler — to share what it's really like to help patients fight peripheral artery disease (PAD) and critical limb ischemia inside a large hospital system. They open up about: The split-second decisions that can mean the difference between amputation and recovery The emotional moments that stay with them long after a shift ends The gaps in care they're constantly trying to close for PAD patients And yes… the hilarious "Nonsense Board" where they log the wild moments that keep them sane It's raw. It's real. It's the life of a limb-saving NP — equal parts heart, grit, urgency, and humor. If you or someone you love is living with PAD, struggling to navigate the system, or wondering what limb-saving care actually looks like behind the scenes, this episode will give you clarity, encouragement, and a whole new appreciation for the clinicians fighting for patients every single day. #TheHeartOfInnovation #PAD #LimbSavingCare #PeripheralArteryDisease #NursePractitioner #OhioHealth #VascularHealth #AmputationPrevention #LifeAndLimb #KymMcNicholas #DrJohnPhillips #PatientAdvocacy #ChronicDiseaseCare #FrontlineMedicine #HealthcareHeroes

In this episode, Dr. Harlan Krumholz introduces the September 16, 2025 issue of JACC, which features studies that challenge conventional clinical thinking, including a detailed ECMO physiology study showing that higher ECMO flow does not uniformly raise pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, suggesting the need for individualized management. A novel analysis of the ISCHEMIA trial revealed distinct angina symptom trajectories, emphasizing that recovery is not binary and supporting a more personalized approach to treatment and monitoring. A landmark target trial emulation found that statins significantly reduce cardiovascular risk in patients with type 1 diabetes—filling a key evidence gap.

What is the role of ferroptosis, programmed cell death characterized by intracellular iron accumulation and lipid peroxidation, in the context of ischemic injury related to heart transplantation? In this episode, Associate Editor Dr. Amanda LeBlanc (University of Louisville) interviews authors Dr. Kenneth Liao and Dr. Nandan Mondal (both at Baylor College of Medicine), along with expert Dr. Zachary Kiernan (Virginia Commonwealth University) about the latest study by Li et al. The authors found that prolonged cold storage increases the susceptibility of hearts donated after brain death (DBD) to ferroptotic cell death. In contrast, however, the authors found that warm ischemic injury increased the risk for ferroptotic cell death in hearts donated after circulatory death (DCD). Li et al. found that targeting ferroptosis could be beneficial for optimizing cold preservation for DBD hearts, while interventions for DCD hearts should focus on the early phase of warm ischemia. Heart transplantation is the gold standard therapy for patients with medically refractory advanced heart failure. However, demand greatly exceeds supply of donor hearts. Listen as we discuss the current state of the heart transplantation field and the many challenges it faces.   Shiyi Li, Katherine V. Nordick, Abdussalam E. Elsenousi, Rishav Bhattacharya, Randall P.

When Jae's mother faced amputation due to Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI) an advanced stage of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) in rural Louisiana, she refused to accept it as the only option. Despite being told there were no alternatives, Jae discovered the truth: not all PAD specialists have the skills to treat advanced cases. This episode comes at a crucial time. A May 2025 study from @SCAI reveals Black patients with CLI face a 46% higher chance of amputation and are 10% less likely to see vascular specialists before treatment. CLI is more deadly than breast, colon, and prostate cancer COMBINED—and outcomes worsen dramatically after amputation. Listen as Jae shares how she: • Fought against medical gaslighting • Found help through the @GlobalPADAssociation's Leg Saver Hotline (1-833-PAD-LEGS) • Connected with CLI specialist Dr. Amit Amin who successfully opened her mother's arteries This story could save someone's leg—or life.

This week on Heart Doc VIP, Dr. Joel Kahn explores new and historic data showing that heart disease can begin shockingly early—sometimes before age 30. A pivotal 1998 study revealed that up to one-third of young adults already show signs of atherosclerosis, emphasizing the urgent need for primordial prevention starting in childhood. Dr. Kahn outlines the key health screenings every parent should know: blood pressure checks, body weight monitoring, and essential lab work. Later in the episode, Dr. Kahn revisits new findings on the Paleo diet, showing it may have included more plant- and starch-based foods than often assumed. He also discusses concerning links between processed meats and dementia, plus a cautionary look at a recent study on a specific group following the KETO diet—don't buy into the hype just yet.

In this episode, Dr. Valentin Fuster discusses a study from the ISCHEMIA trial, showing that achieving multiple guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) goals—especially blood pressure control—reduces cardiovascular events in chronic coronary artery disease patients. The study highlights the importance of early goal attainment and adherence, with the POLYPILL offering a potential solution to improve patient compliance.

In this episode, Dr. Valentin Fuster reviews the ischemia trial's findings on invasive versus conservative treatment strategies for patients with chronic total occlusions (CTOs). The trial revealed that while revascularization of CTOs improved quality of life for angina, the invasive approach did not significantly reduce heart-related deaths or heart attacks compared to conservative management.

N Engl J Med 2013;369:1115-23Background: The COURAGE trial was published in 2007. It compared up-front PCI to medical therapy alone in patients with stable CAD. Preventive PCI did not reduce the chance of dying or having a heart attack over a median follow up time of 5 years. The results rocked the cardiology world because for years prior to the publication of COURAGE, the standard of care called for revascularization of obstructive coronary stenosis. Despite what we would consider minor criticisms of COURAGE, the results have held over time as a preventive PCI strategy has failed repeatedly to reduce death or MI compared to medicine alone in subsequent large trials (BARI 2D, FAME 2, ISCHEMIA and ISCHEMIA-CKD) involving patients with stable CAD. But what about patients with acute coronary syndromes who have, a clearly defined “culprit” lesion and stable coronary stenosis of a non-infarct vessel? On the surface, the answer might seem simple - treat the “culprit” lesion with PCI and leave the stable disease alone. Continue optimal medical treatment of stable CAD indefinitely with consideration of revascularization only if new symptoms arise. But what if a stable coronary stenosis behaves differently in a patient with an acute coronary syndrome than in patients without it? Are these patients predisposed or particularly susceptible to acute plaque rupture and thrombogenesis to such an extent that they would benefit from a preventive revascularization strategy? The Primary Angioplasty in Myocardial Infarction (PRAMI) trial sought to test the hypothesis that immediate preventive PCI of non-culprit vessels plus the culprit vessel compared to culprit vessel only PCI would improve outcomes in patients with a STEMI and coronary stenosis of a non-infarct related artery.Cardiology Trial's Substack is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support our work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Patients: From 2008 through 2013, patients were enrolled from 5 coronary care centers in the United Kingdom. Patients could be any age with acute STEMI and multivessel CAD detected at the time of emergency PCI. The trial was limited to patients with STEMI because ST-segment elevation, unlike ST-segment depression, localizes the area of ischemia in the myocardium and an “infarct-artery” is usually easy to distinguish. Clinically stable patients were considered for eligibility after undergoing PCI of the infarct artery while they were in the catheterization lab. They were eligible if successful PCI of infarct artery was performed and there was stenosis of 50% or more in one or more non-infarct arteries. Exclusion criteria included cardiogenic shock, previous CABG, had left main or significant disease in the ostia of both the LAD and circumflex vessels, or if the only non-infarct stenosis was a chronic total occlusion.Baseline characteristics: The trial screened 2,428 patients and randomized 465 patients (19%) with 234 to preventive PCI and 231 to no preventive-PCI. The majority of patients were excluded for single vessel disease (1122/1922 [58%]). The average age of patients was 62 years and more than 75% were men. Close to 50% were current smokers. The infarct artery was anterior in 35%, inferior in 60% and lateral in 5%. Approximately 65% of patients had 2 vessel disease and 35% had 3 vessel disease.Procedures: After completion of PCI in the infarct artery, eligible patients were randomized and those assigned to the preventive-PCI group underwent the procedure immediately in all non-infarct arteries with a coronary stenosis >50%. PCI was discouraged at a later date (sometimes this strategy is referred to as “staged PCI”) in the no preventive-PCI group unless it was symptom driven. Any patient in the trial with subsequent symptoms of angina that were not controlled with medicine was required to undergo objective assessment of ischemia to secure a diagnosis of refractory angina. Follow-up information was collected at 6 weeks and then yearly thereafter.Endpoints: The primary endpoint was a composite of death from cardiac causes, nonfatal MI, or refractory angina. Secondary outcomes included the individual components of the composite endpoint along with noncardiac death and repeat revascularization. Myocardial infarction was defined as symptoms of cardiac ischemia and a troponin level >99% URL. However, within 14 days after randomization, MI diagnosis also required ECG evidence of new STE or left bundle branch block and angiographic evidence of coronary artery occlusion (essentially this makes it so only in-stent thrombosis or spontaneous STEMI count and other causes of peri-procedural MI do not - this would bias the trial in favor of the preventive-PCI group).Refractory angina was defined as angina despite medical therapy and objective evidence of myocardial ischemia (i.e., ischemia on ECG during spontaneous episode of pain or abnormal results on functional testing).It was determined that 600 patients would be needed to achieve 80% power to detect a 30% relative reduction in the preventive-PCI group, at a 5% level of significance, assuming an annual rate of the primary outcome of 20% in the control group. Stopping criteria were prespecified if the results from the trial showed a primary outcome difference at the 0.001 level of significance. Results: The trial was stopped early based on a significant difference (P50%, preventive PCI significantly reduced a primary composite outcome of cardiac death, nonfatal MI and refractory angina in the PRAMI trial with an estimated NNT of 7 patients over 2 years. Individual components of the primary endpoint that were significantly reduced included nonfatal MI and refractory angina by similarly large margins. These results may seem impressive at first glance but we urge extreme caution in their interpretation. First, this is a relatively small trial with a historically large effect size, especially when considering hard endpoints like cardiac death and nonfatal MI were included. Such results are often later found to be falsely positive when larger, confirmatory studies are conducted. Second, the trial was stopped early and early stopping is prone to yield false positive and/or exaggerated results. Third, inclusion of refractory angina in the primary endpoint, an endpoint susceptible to bias in an unblinded study (see earlier discussion of “faith healing” and “subtraction anxiety” in FAME 2; consideration also must be given to nocebo effects in patients who know they have “untreated blockages”), clouds the main findings by inflating the effect size and making the trial susceptible to large differences in underpowered endpoints before sufficient data can be accumulated on hard outcomes. For example, if the trial had sought to detect a conservative difference of 30% in a primary composite endpoint that only included cardiac death or nonfatal MI, based on an event rate of 12% in the control group (the actual event rate in the trial), over 2,200 patients would be needed for 80% power at a 5% level of significance. The estimated number of actual events would be around 230. However, only 47 events occurred in PRAMI making the results highly susceptible to noise.While results of PRAMI suggest a beneficial role for preventive-PCI in patients with STEMI, more evidence is needed to confirm the results.Thanks for reading Cardiology Trial's Substack!

Contributor: Travis Barlock MD Educational Pearls: What is the ST segment? The ST segment on an ECG represents the interval between the end of ventricular depolarization (QRS) and the beginning of ventricular repolarization (T-wave).  It should appear isoelectric (flat) in a normal ECG. What if the ST segment is elevated? This is evidence that there is an injury that goes all the way through the muscular wall of the heart (transmural) This is very concerning for a heart attack (STEMI) but can be occasionally caused by other pathology, such as pericarditis What if the ST segment is depressed? This is evidence that only the innermost part of the muscular wall of the heart is becoming ischemic This has a much broader differential and includes a partial occlusion of a coronary artery but also any other stress on the body that could cause a supply-and-demand mismatch between the oxygen the coronaries can deliver and the oxygen the heart needs This is called subendocardial ischemia What else should you look for in the ECG to identify subendocardial ischemia? The ST-depressions should be at least 1 mm The ST depressions should be present in leads I, II, V4-6 and a variable number of additional leads. There is often reciprocal ST elevation in aVR > 1 mm The most important thing to remember when you see subendocardial ischemia is…history Still, keep all cardiac causes on your differential, such as unstable angina, stable angina, Prinzmetal angina, etc. Also consider a wide array of non-cardiac causes such as severe anemia, severe hypertension, pulmonary embolism, COPD, severe pneumonia, sepsis, shock, thyrotoxicosis, stimulant use, DKA, or any other state that lead to reduced oxygen supply to the subendocardium and/or increased myocardial oxygen demand.

This week we delve into the world of heart failure and transplantation when we review a recent PHTS study assessing the impact of ischemic time on outcomes of pediatric heart transplantation. What is considered to be a long ischemic time and what is the impact on outcomes in the pediatric patient undergoing transplant? Why does it appear as the impact of a longer ischemic time is less associated with graft failure in the present era in comparison to the past? What might be the impact of newer heart perfusion devices used to transport organs for transplant? These are amongst the questions reviewed with Professor of Pediatrics at U. Colorado, Dr. Scott R. Auerbach. DOI: 10.1016/j.healun.2024.03.002
