CardioNerds co-founder Dan Ambinder joins Dr. Lefan He, Dr. Sina Salehi Omran, and Dr. Neil Gupta from the University of Rochester Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship Program for a day sailing on Lake Ontario. Expert commentary is provided by Dr. Jeffrey Bruckel, and CV Fellowship Program Director Dr. Burr Hall shares insights on the University of Rochester fellowship. The episode audio was edited by CardioNerds intern Dr. Atefeh Ghorbanzadeh. They discuss the following case involving a patient with papillary muscle rupture. This is a 63-year-old man with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and active tobacco smoking who presented with acute dyspnea. He was tachycardic but otherwise initially hemodynamically stable. The physical exam demonstrated warm extremities with no murmurs or peripheral edema. Chest X-ray revealed diffuse pulmonary edema, and the ECG showed sinus tachycardia with T-wave inversions in the inferior leads. A bedside echocardiogram revealed a flail anterior mitral valve leaflet. The patient was taken for cardiac catheterization that revealed nonobstructive mid-RCA atheroma with a distal RCA occlusion, which was felt to reflect embolic occlusion from recanalized plaque. PCI was not performed. Right heart catheterization then demonstrated a low cardiac index as well as elevated PCWP and PA pressures. An intra-aortic balloon pump was placed at that time. A TEE was performed soon after which showed the posteromedial papillary muscle was ruptured with flail segments of the anterior mitral leaflet as well as severe posteriorly directed mitral regurgitation. The patient ultimately underwent a successful tissue mitral valve replacement and CABG. US Cardiology Review is now the official journal of CardioNerds! Submit your manuscript here.

The posteromedial papillary muscle has a single blood supply from the posterior descending artery, while the anterolateral papillary muscle has a dual blood supply from the LAD and the circumflex. Therefore, the posteromedial papillary muscle is more vulnerable to ischemia and, hence, rupture. A murmur may be absent in cases of papillary muscle rupture due to the rapid equalization of left atrial and left ventricular pressures caused by the acuteness of the severe MR. Papillary muscle rupture should always be on the differential for acute dyspnea when ACS is suspected. While mostly associated with STEMIs, mechanical complications of acute myocardial infarctions can also occur after NSTEMIs. Always auscultate patients carefully after a myocardial infarction! When evaluating patients with chest pain presenting with acute or rapidly progressive heart failure and a hypercontractile LVEF should raise suspicion for mechanical complications of MI. Once a papillary muscle rupture is diagnosed, cardiac surgery should be immediately contacted. Temporizing measures prior to surgery include positive pressure ventilation, IV nitroglycerin/nitroprusside, and temporary mechanical circulatory support. Notes - A Case of Papillary Muscle Rupture What is the clinical presentation of acute mitral regurgitation from papillary muscle rupture? Patients typically present 3-5 days after a transmural infarct. Roughly half of these patients present with pulmonary edema that may quickly progress to cardiogenic shock. Most cases are associated with STEMIs, but papillary muscle rupture is also possible with an NSTEMI.
Minimally invasive procedures are now more widely used for benign and some low-risk cancerous thyroid tumors. In certain cases of papillary thyroid microcarcinomas; and if those are positioned in a favorable location, Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) offers a less invasive treatment option compared to traditional surgical approaches. Listen to Leonardo Guimarães Rangel, MD, Head and Neck Surgeon in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and international expert in minimally invasive procedures in thyroid tumors, present his Visual Vignette on Radiofrequency Ablation of Papillary Thyroid Microcarcinomas, moderated by Sina Jasim, MD, MPH, Associate Professor of Medicine, and Endocrine Neoplasia Specialist at Washington University School of Medicine. Key topics include procedure safety, determining the right patient and nodule candidate, follow-up care, challenges, and future outcomes.

Carly Flumer was diagnosed with stage I papillary thyroid cancer at the age of 27 and again at 31. While being diagnosed with cancer at such a young age was a surprise, as it would be to anyone, she found strength, support, and inspiration in sharing her cancer journey on social media. As a result of her health outcome, she looks to advocate for other cancer patients through education, research, and health literacy. She received her Master's degree from Boston University in Health Communication and Bachelor's from George Mason University in Health Administration and Policy.

CardioNerds co-founder Dr. Amit Goyal and episode leads Dr. Jaya Kanduri (FIT Ambassador from Cornell University) and Dr. Jenna Skowronski (FIT Ambassador from UPMC) discuss Complications of acute myocardial infarction with expert faculty Dr. Jeffrey Geske. They discuss various complications of acute MI such as cardiogenic shock, bradyarrythmias, left ventricular outflow tract obstruction, ruptures (papillary muscle rupture, VSD, free wall rupture), and more. Show notes were drafted by Dr. Jaya Kanduri. Audio editing by CardioNerds Academy Intern, student doctor Tina Reddy. The CardioNerds Beyond the Boards Series was inspired by the Mayo Clinic Cardiovascular Board Review Course and designed in collaboration with the course directors Dr. Amy Pollak, Dr. Jeffrey Geske, and Dr. Michael Cullen. CardioNerds Beyond the Boards SeriesCardioNerds Episode PageCardioNerds AcademyCardionerds Healy Honor Roll CardioNerds Journal ClubSubscribe to The Heartbeat Newsletter!Check out CardioNerds SWAG!Become a CardioNerds Patron! Pearls and Quotes - Complications of Acute Myocardial Infarction Sinus tachycardia is a “harbinger of doom”! The triad for RV infarction includes hypotension, elevated JVP, and clear lungs. These patients are preload dependent and may need fluid resuscitation despite having an elevated JVP. Bradyarrythmias in inferior MIs are frequently vagally mediated. The focus should be on medical management before committing to a temporary transvenous pacemaker, such as reperfusion, maintaining RV preload and inotropy, avoiding hypoxia, and considering RV-specific mechanical circulator support (MCS). Worsening hypotension with inotropic agents (e.g., dobutamine, epinephrine, dopamine, norepinephrine) after a large anterior-apical MI should raise suspicion for dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction due to compensatory hyperdynamic basal segments. The myocardium after a late presentation MI is as “mushy as mashed potatoes”! Need to look out for papillary muscle rupture, VSD, and free wall rupture as potential complications. Papillary muscle rupture can occur with non-transmural infarcts, and often presents with flash pulmonary edema. VSDs will have a harsh systolic murmur and are less likely to present with pulmonary congestion. Free wall rupture can present as a PEA arrest. All of these complications require urgent confirmation on imaging and early involvement of surgical teams. Notes - Complications of Acute Myocardial Infarction How should we approach cardiogenic shock (CS) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI)? Only 10% of AMI patients present with CS, but CS accounts for up to 70-80% of mortality associated with AMI, usually due to extensive LV infarction with ensuing pump failure. Physical examSinus tachycardia is considered a “harbinger of doom”, when the body compensates for low cardiac output by ramping up the heart rateThe presence of sinus tachycardia and low pulse and/or blood pressure in a patient with a large anterior MI should raise suspicion for cardiogenic shockBe wary of giving IV beta blockers in this situation as negative inotropes can precipitate cardiogenic shock (Commit Trial) When interpreting a patient's blood pressure in the acute setting, it is helpful to know their baseline blood pressure and if they have a significant history of hypertension.

Celebrating My Cancer Story Podcasts 2nd Anniversary with the perfect guest! You will be hearing from Dana who is a Papillary Thyroid Cancer Survivor. Dana was diagnosed at age 24 and after being urged by her dentist to get the lump in her throat checked out. Going through her thyroidectomy surgery and multiple rounds of RAI treatment was in a survival mode blur. It wasn't until after all of that, when was released back into the 'wild' with a gigantic scar across her neck, that she started to struggle with her reality. For the longest time, she kept her journey private, not really talking about her experience with family, friends or coworkers. It wasn't until I Dana met other women who had gone through the same cancer she had noticed that we all had a similar question we would ask each-other: "What does your scar look like?" She realized that she wasn't alone and that she had this built in and awesome cancer community that she was a part of. Fast forward to Dana creating The Butterfly Scar Project. Dana mentions on her website "My mission with The Butterfly Scar Project is to help empower women AFTER their cancer to help them feel comfortable in their scars. The thyroid is shaped like a butterfly and a butterfly has it's own meaning: A symbol of powerful transformation...so Butterfly Scar Project was born! Life after cancer is hard enough and there is no guide book. Cancer DOES SUCK but YOU DON'T. I hope these necklaces help women to feel powerful, strong and beautiful when they wear them and I hope they can feel empowered by their scars. Wherever you are on your journey know you are not alone."

Dr Paul Wang: Welcome to the monthly podcast, On the Beat, for Circulation: Arrhythmia, and Electrophysiology. I'm Dr Paul Wang, Editor-in-Chief, with some of the key highlights from this month's issue. Koji Miyamoto and associates conducted the AD-Balloon Study, which investigates the ideal number of free cycles during second-generation cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation. In a prospective, multicenter, randomized clinical trial, the authors compared in 110 patients the addition of a three minute freeze after pulmonary vein isolation had been achieved to pulmonary vein isolation alone. Delayed-enhancement magnetic resonance imaging was also performed one to two months after the pulmonary vein isolation to assess the ablation lesions. The freedom from atrial arrhythmias at one year was similar. Log rank test, P equals 0.78 in the two groups, 87.3% in the extra three-minute freeze group, and 89.1% in the pulmonary vein isolation group. There was no significant difference in the frequency of gaps on the pulmonary vein isolation lines in the delayed-enhancement magnetic resonance imaging. The authors conclude that an insurance freeze after achieving pulmonary vein isolation may be unnecessary and time consuming. In our next study, Robert Sheldon and associates examined the genetic basis of vasovagal syncope. They studied 160 subjects in 9 kindreds comprising 82 fainters and 78 controls. Common genetic variants were genotype for 12 genes for vascular signaling, potassium channels, the serotonin 5-HT1A receptor, the serotonin transporter and catecholamine-O-methyltransferase or COMT. They found that in 9 of 12 variants, there was no significant association between genotype and phenotype. However, the serotonin 5-HT1A receptor, HTR1-A G alleles were associated with syncope in males but not in females. P equals 0.005. The men with serotonin 5-HT1 receptor C alleles had a 9% likelihood of syncope while Gg males had a 77% likelihood of syncope. The SL6A4 promoter L alleles were associated with decreased syncope in males but increase in females. P equals 0.059. The Ll males had a 25% syncope likelihood and Ss males had a 47% syncope likelihood. The COMT A alleles were associated with decreased syncope in males but increased in females. P equals 0.017. The Gg males had a 50% syncope likelihood and A males had a 15% syncope likelihood. The Gg females had 52% syncope likelihood and the Aa females had a 73% syncope likelihood. The authors concluded that there is a sex-dependent effect of alleles of serotonin signaling in vasovagal syncope, supporting the serotonin hypothesis of the physiology of vasovagal syncope. In the next study, Michael Barkagan and associates sought to examine whether the standard criteria for mitral line block with endocardial and epicardial activation mapping may not distinguish from slow conduction or conduction via epicardial bridging connections. In 56 patients, the authors creates a posterior mitral line using radiofrequency ablation. Mitral block determined by pacing with conduction block defined as trans-isthmus time of 100 milliseconds or greater in reversal of coronary sinus activation during pacing from the left atrial appendage was achieved in 51 out of 56 or 91% of patients. In 11 of 51 or 22% of patients, high-resolution activation mapping, using Rhythmia, of the endocardium and epicardium via the coronary sinus demonstrated residual endocardial in 27% or residual epicardial in 73% connections. Epicardial bridging connections were distant from the line, 2.4 plus or minus 1.6 centimeters, inserting laterally at the proximal-mid coronary sinus and septally at the left atrial ridge. Patients with residual conduction were prone to complex circuits involving the epicardium in 7 of 11 patients. Mitral line block was achieved in 75% by targeting these insertion sites. The trans-isthmus time had limited predictive value for distinguishing block from pseudoblock. The authors concluded the connections are a frequent cause of complex circuits, and their insertion sites can be targeted for ablation. In our next paper, Santiago Rivera and associates examined the causes of QRS variability in Papillary muscle arrhythmias usually attributed to anisotropy. In 33 patients with papillary muscle arrhythmias prospectively undergoing cardiac resonance imaging, papillary muscle connections away from the papillary muscle base were identified. Arrhythmogenic papillary muscles, N equals 35, exhibited a higher number of papillary muscle connections, 72 versus 18, P equals 0.01. Patients with inconsistent QRS precordial transition and inconsistent QRS access exhibited a 100% prevalence of papillary muscle connections. Those with consistent precordial transition and consistent QRS access showed 40% and 26% prevalence of papillary muscle connections respectively. Inconsistent QRS precordial transition and inconsistent QRS access predicted the presence of papillary muscle connections with 59% or 28% sensitivity and 100% specificity respectively. Those papillary muscles exhibiting clinical recurrence after ablation presented a higher prevalence of papillary muscle connections, 91% versus 60%, P=0.04. In our next paper, Jason Coult and associates examined the quantitative measures of the electrocardiogram waveform during ventricular fibrillation to assess myocardial physiology and predict cardiac arrest outcomes. They collected five second ventricular fibrillation ECG segments with and without chest compressions prior to 2,755 defibrillation shocks from 1,151 out of hospital cardiac arrest patients. 24 individual measures and 3 combination measures were optimized to predict functionally intact survival using 460 training cases. Measures predicted functionally intact survival in 691 independent test cases with an area under the receiver operating curve (AUC) ranging from 0.56 to 0.75 without chest compressions and 0.53 to 0.75 with compressions, P less than 0.001. Of all measures evaluated, the support vector machine model ranked highest both without chest compressions, AUC equals 0.75, and with compressions, AUC equals 0.75. The authors concluded the waveform measures predict functionally intact survival when calculated during chest compressions, but prognostic performance is generally reduced compared to analysis without compressions. Support vector machine models exhibited similar performance with and without compressions while also achieving the highest area under the curve. In our last paper, Hailey Jansen, Martin Mackasey and associates examined the effective natriuretic peptides in the specific natriuretic peptide receptor NPR-C on angiotensin II-mediated atrial fibrillation. The authors examined wild-type and NPR-C knockout mice to investigate the effects of angiotensin II administered three milligrams per kilo per day for three weeks on atrial fibrillation susceptibility and atrial function. In wild-type mice, angiotensin II increased susceptibility to atrial fibrillation and associated with a prolonged P wave duration, increased atrial refractory period, and slowed atrial conduction. These effects were exacerbated in angiotensin II-treated NPR-C knockout mice. Angiotensin II prolonged action potential duration and reduced action potential upstroke velocity. Angiotensin II also increased fibrosis in the atria in wild-type mice while angiotensin II-treated NPR-C knockout mice exhibited substantially higher atrial fibrosis. Co-treating wild-type mice with angiotensin II and the NPR-C agonist cANF, those dependently reduced atrial fibrillation inducibility by preventing some of the angiotensin II-induced changes in atrial myocyte electrophysiology and preventing atrial fibrosis. The authors suggested that the NPR-C receptor may represent a new target for the prevention of angiotensin II-induced atrial fibrillation via protective effects on atrial, electrical and structural remodeling. That's it for this month! We hope that you'll find the journal to be the go-to place for everyone interested in the field. See you next time!

This podcast provides a commentary on the association of braf mutation and thyroid cancer showing an increase risk of recurrence in patients with thyroid cancer that harbor this mutation.
Commentary by Dr. Valentin Fuster
Background: Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a rare disease, which is characterised by the growth of papillomavirus-induced papillomas within the respiratory tract. Malignant transformation occurs in less than 1% of the cases. Case presentation: We report a case of human papillomavirus (HPV) type 11-associated juvenile-onset RRP (JORRP) initially diagnosed at the age of two years. Remarkably high copy numbers of HPV11 DNA and antibody titres targeting the capsid protein L1 were detected in the patient's serum. The patient developed squamous cell carcinomas in both lungs and extraordinarily an HPV11 DNA-positive papillary endocardial lesion in the left atrium of the heart, which caused thromboembolic events leading to the patient's death at 19 years old. Conclusion: We here report a severe case of JORRP hallmarked by HPV11 DNAemia and very high antibody titres directed against the major viral capsid protein L1. Furthermore, the extent of malignant transformation and the discovery of a very rare fatal endocardial lesion highlight the unpredictability of JORRP and the complexity of its clinical management.
