Podcasts about preventive cardiology

In the latest episode of Parallax, Dr Ankur Kalra welcomes Dr Martha Gulati and Dr Anu Lala for a groundbreaking conversation about reimagining heart failure prevention across the entire disease spectrum. Their discussion centres on an innovative scientific statement developed collaboratively between the American Society of Preventive Cardiology and the Heart Failure Society of America - a document that challenges conventional approaches to cardiovascular disease prevention. Dr Gulati and Dr Lala make a compelling case for expanding prevention beyond atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) to encompass heart failure, a condition affecting one in four individuals over their lifetime. They introduce the American Heart Association's Cardio Kidney Metabolic (CKM) health framework as a superior model for identifying at-risk patients, explaining how this approach shifts focus from disease management to health optimization. The conversation explores practical implementation strategies, including the new PREVENT risk score, which integrates critical heart failure risk factors like obesity and chronic kidney disease that traditional assessment tools overlook. Questions and comments can be sent to "podcast@radcliffe-group.com" and may be answered by Ankur in the next episode. Host: @AnkurKalraMD and produced by: @RadcliffeCardio Parallax is Ranked in the Top 100 Health Science Podcasts (#48) by Million Podcasts.

Dr. Jack Wolfson, known as “The Paleo Cardiologist,” joins hosts Drs. Tim & May Hindmarsh on the BS Free MD podcast to discuss his pivot from traditional hospital-based cardiology into a holistic, cause-based model of heart health. He shares how his personal and professional experiences led him to challenge the status quo—shifting focus from symptomatic treatment (eg. stents, statins) to underlying causes such as diet, toxins, lifestyle and stress. The conversation explores how a paleo-inspired, whole-food nutrition model, combined with environmental awareness and lifestyle changes, can meaningfully transform cardiovascular risk and patient outcomes.ABOUT THE GUESTDr. Jack Wolfson, DO, FACC, is a board-certified cardiologist, bestselling author of The Paleo Cardiologist: The Natural Way to Heart Health, and founder of Natural Heart Doctor, a holistic cardiology practice based in Arizona.

CardioNerds (Drs. Rick Ferraro and Georgia Vasilakis Tsatiris) discuss ATTR cardiac amyloidosis with expert Dr. Justin Grodin. This episode is a must-listen for all who want to know how to diagnose and treat ATTR with current available therapies, as well as management of concomitant diseases through a multidisciplinary approach. We take a deep dive into the importance of genetic testing, not only for patients and families, but also for gene-specific therapies on the horizon. Dr. Grodin draws us a roadmap, guiding us through new experimental therapies that may reverse the amyloidosis disease process once and for all.  Audio editing by CardioNerds academy intern, Christiana Dangas. This episode was developed in collaboration with the American Society of Preventive Cardiology and supported by an educational grant from BridgeBio.  Enjoy this Circulation Paths to Discovery article to learn more about the CardioNerds mission and journey.  US Cardiology Review is now the official journal of CardioNerds! Submit your manuscripts here.  CardioNerds Cardiac Amyloid PageCardioNerds Episode Page Pearls: You must THINK about your patient having amyloid to recognize the pattern and make the diagnosis. Start with a routine ECG and TTE, and look for a disproportionately large heart muscle with relatively low voltages on the ECG.  Before you diagnose ATTR amyloidosis, AL amyloidosis must be ruled out (or ruled in) with serum light chains, serum/urine immunofixation, and/or tissue biopsy.  Genetic testing is standard of care for all patients and families with ATTR amyloidosis, and the future is promising for gene-specific treatments. Current FDA-approved treatments for TTR amyloidosis are TTR stabilizers and TTR silencers, but TTR fibril-depleting agents are on their way.  Early diagnosis of ATTR affords patients maximal benefit from current amyloidosis therapies.   TTR amyloidosis patients require a multidisciplinary approach for success, given the high number of concomitant diseases with cardiomyopathy.  Notes: Notes: Notes drafted by Dr. Georgia Vasilakis Tsatiris.  What makes you most suspicious of a diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis from the typical heart failure patient?  You must have a strong index of suspicion, meaning you THINK that the patient could have cardiac amyloidosis, to consider it diagnostically. Some characteristics or “red flags” to not miss:   Disproportionately thick heart muscle with a relatively low voltages on EKG   Bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome – estimated that 1 in 10 people >65 years old will have amyloidosis   Previously tolerated antihypertensive medications  Atraumatic biceps tendon rupture   Bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome  Spinal stenosis   Concomitant with other diseases: HFpEF, low-flow low-gradient aortic stenosis  How would you work up a patient for cardiac amyloidosis?   Start with a routine ECG (looking for disproportionally low voltage) and routine TTE (looking for thick heart muscle)  CBC, serum chemistries, hepatic function panel, NT proBNP, and troponin levels  NOTE: It is critical to differentiate between amyloid light chain (AL amyloidosis) and transthyretin ATTR amyloidosis, as both make up 95-99% of amyloidosis cases.   Obtain serum free light chains, serum & urine electrophoresis, and serum & urine immunofixation to rule out AL amyloidosis. (See table below)  AL Amyloidosis ATTR Amyloidosis  → Positive serum free light chains and immunofixation (Abnormal M protein) → Tissue biopsy (endomyocardial, fat pad) to confirm diagnosis → Negative serum free light chains and immunofixation (ruled out AL amyloidosis) → Cardiac scintigraphy (Technetium pyrophosphate with SPECT imaging)  What treatment options do we have to offer now for ATTR CM, and how has this compared to prior years?   Before 2019, treatment options were limited outside of cardiac tr...

Send us a textThis week's expert interview is with Dr. Emily Andaya, Medical Director of the Cardiovascular Program at Major Health Partners of Shelbyville, IN. She joins Louise Campbell and Roger Green to discuss the American Heart Assocation's CKM initiative, why she believe it should be titled "CKLM" for liver, and how including liver in the CKM scoring system would make it stronger and provide a more robust tool to help improve patients' health. Emily begins by discussing her attendance at the American Society for Preventive Cardiology meeting in Boston the previous weekend, where Dr. Christos Montzoros presented a talk proposing that the liver's role in cardiovascular diseases is "equally critical" compared to the kidney and other multi-metabolic co-morbidities. Dr. Montzoros closed his talk by stating that the CKM syndrome description should be changed to CKLM to reflect the importance of the liver, and that the CKLM patient scoring and criteria should reflect this as well.Next, Emily describes the 0-to-4 scoring system that the CKM initiative has chosen to use and the recommendations that accompany the scoring system itself. The system does not neatly overlay the 4-point fibrosis scoring system or the NAS score, but Emily describes how these might be incorporated into the CKM score. The conversation shifts to focus on patient management. Since the original CKM paper was published in 2023, resmetirom had not yet been approved and the paper itself focused more on screening than on treatment. To Emily, adding the "L" to CKM would entail adding resmetirom to treatment protocols as appropriate, and also considering drug combinations that addressed liver disease. Louise takes this issue from the other side, suggesting that every time a provider prescribes a drug to a CKM patient, the potential for negative liver effects should be part of the selection process. Emily and Louise agree that providers and patients should take a holistic approach to therapy for these patients. One benefit: even if a patient has multiple organs affected by multi-metabolic challenges, the provider can educate the patient that there is a single target disease to treat instead of multiple different diseases. As Roger notes, treating 4-5 discrete diseases simultaneously sounds overwhelming, while treating one overarching disease sounds far more manageable.The conversation ends with a focus on whether we are correctly identifying high-risk cardiovascular patients in the current environment, and how this more holistic focus might improve patient screening and identification.

In this conversation, Dr. Elizabeth Klodas, a preventive cardiologist and founder of Step One Foods, discusses the critical role of nutrition in managing heart disease and the challenges faced in integrating dietary changes into medical practice. She shares her journey from traditional medicine to creating a food company aimed at reducing reliance on medications through nutrition. The discussion highlights the importance of randomized controlled trials in validating the effectiveness of food-based interventions, the impact of pharmaceuticals on healthcare, and the need for a shift in consumer perceptions towards whole food ingredients. Dr. Klodas emphasizes the potential for a healthier future where cardiologists are less needed due to preventive measures and lifestyle changes.Takeaways:Nutrition is often overlooked in favor of pharmaceuticals in healthcare.Patients are rarely asked about their diet by healthcare providers.Changing dietary habits can lead to significant health improvements.Pharmaceuticals are easier to prescribe than dietary changes.There is a lack of nutrition education in medical training.Step One Foods aims to fill nutritional gaps in patients' diets.Randomized controlled trials can validate the effectiveness of food products.Consumer perceptions of health foods can be influenced by marketing.The food industry often prioritizes cost over nutrition.A better world would mean fewer cardiologists needed due to preventive health measures.Sound bites:“There is very little to no nutrition education for physicians. As I look back on this I consider this educational malpractice.”“All the medical evidence of what we should be doing is very heavily pharma biased, because guidelines are based on randomized control clinical trials.”“So there's loads of reasons why nutrition is not used in clinical care the way it should be. None of that is an excuse though, because it works and it's so vital.”“What if I asked you to like eat this food twice a day and I otherwise left you alone? What started happening is people calling and saying, hey, my cholesterol dropped 39 points. Then I'm like, okay, we're gonna subject our products to a randomized control trial. Let's see. Let's prove it. Does this actually work?”“If I reduce, LDL, the bad cholesterol across the US population by an average of 9%, I will finally dethrone heart disease as our number one killer.”“In that trial, we replicated what people were calling in with our highest LDL reduction was close to 40 % in 30 days. That's a medication level cholesterol reduction. And we did that with food, without turning people's lives upside down.”“It's not just the nutrient of interest that's important. It's the delivery vehicle. You can stuff a bunch of fiber into a Twinkie. But in the end, you're still eating a Twinkie, right? Food and nutrition is complex.”“At Step One Foods I take the complexity out for people. I take whole food ingredients, each and every single one that has data behind it in terms health benefits, and put them in my foods.”“We are probably the most overfed and undernourished society in the history of our species.”“If you truly believe in your mission, you have to ignore all the no's.”Promo Offer:Code: BETTERWORLDLink: https://www.steponefoods.com/discount/BETTERWORLDOffer: 10% off first order for both one time and subscription orders.

Sembra un gesto banale, ma la capacità di alzarsi da terra senza l’aiuto di mani, ginocchia o appoggi può essere un indicatore sorprendentemente efficace del nostro stato di salute generale. A dimostrarlo è uno studio pubblicato sull’European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, secondo cui questo semplice test funzionale è associato alla longevità e al rischio cardiovascolare, soprattutto tra i 46 e i 75 anni. In questa puntata ci mettiamo alla prova: cosa ci racconta il nostro corpo quando ci muoviamo? Quanto equilibrio, forza e flessibilità servono per alzarci da terra e come possiamo allenarli ogni giorno per stare meglio più a lungo? Il commento della prof.ssa Daniela Lucini, Ordinario in scienze dell’esercizio fisico dello sport all' Università di Milano e direttrice del servizio di medicina dell'esercizio all'Auxologico di Milano.

In this profound episode of Parallax, Dr Ankur Kalra welcomes Dr Pam Taub, Professor of Medicine and Director of Preventive Cardiology at UC San Diego, for an enlightening conversation about integrating spirituality, purpose, and scientific curiosity in cardiovascular practice. Dr Taub shares her unique philosophical foundation, shaped by exposure to diverse religions in South India. This experience fostered her belief that all faiths fundamentally center on being a good person and serving others. She explores how this spiritual perspective transforms medicine from a profession into a sacred calling, where patient interactions become profound privileges that fuel her desire to make meaningful impact beyond individual achievements. The episode highlights Dr Taub's groundbreaking work with POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome), demonstrating how scientific curiosity serves as a spiritual path. Her research journey—from recognizing misdiagnosed conditions to conducting the first clinical trial for ivabradine in POTS—exemplifies how deeper questioning and evidence-based inquiry can transform patient lives on a broader scale. The episode also explores Dr Taub's research on time-restricted eating, connecting modern scientific evidence to fasting practices across many faiths.

Participating in religious activities appears to benefit cardiovascular health among Black Americans. It's something we explored in an episode on this podcast a few years back. Health systems, professional societies and researchers are increasingly recognizing that “faith-based organizations are trusted institutions within underserved communities and that people not only seek spiritual refuge and salvation in these places of worship, but they are also wonderful, trusted vessels to  distribute reliable health information,” says Dr. LaPrincess Brewer, a faculty member in the division of  Preventive Cardiology, department of Cardiovascular Medicine at Mayo Clinic. “Participating in religious activities from church services to private prayer, as well as holding deep spiritual beliefs are  linked to better cardiovascular health among Black Americans," according to researchers of a 2022 study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association. The researchers go on to suggest that recognition by health professionals and researchers of the centrality and influence of religiosity and spirituality in the lives of African American adults may serve as a means to address cardiovascular health disparities. In an episode that was first published in 2023, Movement Is Life's Dr. Mary O'Connor spoke with Dr. Brewer, whose primary research focus is reducing cardiovascular disease health disparities in racial and ethnic minority populations  and in underserved communities, and Clarence Jones, a community engagement specialist and former director of community engagement at a federally qualified health center in Minneapolis who has extensive experience in  collaborating with community and faith-based partners in promoting community wellness and access to health services.  Never miss an episode – be sure to subscribe to The Health Disparities podcast from Movement Is Life on Apple Podcasts, YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts.  

For Hypertension Awareness Month, we are fortunate to have Dr. Robert Ostfeld, a cardiologist at Montefiore Medical Center, join us to talk about lifestyle approaches for treating – and preventing – high blood pressure. In this episode, Dr. Ostfeld explains the numbers, the symptoms – or lack of symptoms – and the associated risks. A self-confessed “reformed cardiologist,” he talks about how he saw his patients who adopted a plant-based diet significantly lower their blood pressure. Not ready to go totally plant-based? Dr. Ostfeld says simply adding more fruits, vegetables and whole grains to your diet can help lower not only your blood pressure but also your risk for heart disease, stroke and dozens of other conditions.   The Takeaway We want to hear from you!

 While a certain level of stress can serve as a motivator, chronic and excessive stress can take a toll on both our physical and mental well-being. It's essential to recognize the detrimental effects stress can have on our bodies, particularly its role in triggering an increase in stress hormones and inflammatory chemicals. Dr Alain Bouchard, MD discusses with Dr. Martha Gulati, Director of Prevention & Associate Director of the Barbra Streisand Women's Heart Center, and the President-Elect of the American Society for Preventive Cardiology.

One of the team members to consider on your menopause journey is a preventive cardiologist. While your GP or internist may be ordering annual labs for you, they are not experts in lipidology. Most women will see their cholesterol increase steadily during the menopause transition and not have the proper labs taken to assess their cardiovascular disease risk, which is the leading cause of death among women (and men). That risk increases significantly after menopause. This phase of life brings not only physical and hormonal changes but also heightened vulnerability to heart disease. In this episode, we explore how menopause influences heart health and why it's essential for women to be proactive about their cardiovascular wellness. We discuss the hormonal shifts that affect everything from blood pressure to cholesterol. We will also discuss the impact of family history, and genetics and what labs and tests are crucial for assessing your risk. We discuss the ongoing debate over using estrogen as a tool for heart disease prevention versus statins. Dr. Martha Gulati, MD is a preventive cardiologist with a long, impressive list of accolades. To name a few, she is the Past President of the American Society for Preventive Cardiology, professor of cardiology at the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles, and the associate director of the Barbra Streisand Women's Heart Center. She holds the Anita Dann Friedman Endowed Chair in Women's Cardiovascular Medicine and Research. She is the author of the best-seller, “Saving Women's Hearts”. Her exceptional commitment to studying women and cardiac diseases has won her numerous awards and distinctions, including being named by Crain's Chicago Business as one of Chicago's Top 40 under 40. She was a co-investigator in the Women's Health Initiative (WHI). She has published articles in peer-reviewed publications, including The New England Journal of Medicine, Circulation, and Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA).

In this week's replay episode from 2 years ago, we review the important topic of troponin levels in children. What is an abnormal high sensitivity troponin level in children and do the levels vary based upon the assay? What are the differences between high sensitivity troponin I and T levels? Are there differences between boys and girls? Why would using the 97.5%ile upper reference limit result in a more reliable 'line in the sand' in comparison with the more traditional, high sensitivity troponin level cut off of 99th%ile. These are amongst the questions we review with this week's author, Dr. J. Bill McEvoy, Professor of Preventive Cardiology at University of Galway, Ireland. DOI: 10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.122.063281

Pearls and Quotes - GLP-1 Agonists: Mechanisms to Applications The selection and dosing of GLP-1 and GIP agonists (GLP-1s and GIPs) depends on their intended use as an anti-glycemic or anti-obesity agent. The cardiovascular benefits of GLP-1s and GIPs may be independent of improvements in glycemic control, and in part be driven by reduction in inflammation, a key driver of arterial plaque formation. In patients with comorbid coronary artery disease, obesity, and diabetes, GLP-1 agonists and SGLT-2 inhibitors should be used as first-line agents, over metformin. Tirzepatide is a dual agonist that activates GIP and GLP-1 receptors. GIP is highly expressed in the brain, which may mediate satiety, promote energy expenditure, and enhance peripheral glucose metabolism. Caution should be used with GLP-1 agonists in patients with long-standing diabetes complicated by gastroparesis, as well as incompletely treated diabetic retinopathy. GI upset is not uncommon with GLP-1/GIP agonists, and switching to a different agonist is unlikely to help.  Show notes - GLP-1 Agonists: Mechanisms to Applications What are the mechanisms of action by which GLP-1 and GIP controls blood sugar and body weight? Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an endogenous hormone that is secreted in response to an oral glucose load. It promotes insulin release, inhibits glucagon secretion, and slows gastric emptying via the brain-intestine axis, leading to satiety. GLP-1 agonists are medications that mimic the effect of this hormone and, on average, lower hemoglobin A1C by 0.8% to 1.5%. These medications include semaglutide, liraglutide, and dulaglutide. Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) is also an endogenous hormone, similarly secreted by the body in response to an oral glucose load such as a meal. GIP is highly expressed in the arcuate nucleus and hypothalamus, which may mediate satiety, promote energy expenditure, and enhance peripheral glucose metabolism. Tirzepatide is a dual GLP-1/GIP agonist. What is the role of GLP-1/GIP agonists in patients with overweight/obesity and/or type 2 diabetes? How does the dosing of GLP-1/GIP medications change with their intended disease target?
