Podcasts about Pulmonary hypertension

Dr. Robert Sullivan, a 49-year-old anesthesiologist in peak physical condition, was featured in the Wall Street Journal for his aerial circus arts just months before getting his COVID vaccine. Within weeks of his second shot, he could barely walk upstairs without gasping for air. Diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension—a condition so rare it affects 1 in a million people and typically kills within 3-7 years—Dr. Sullivan found himself trapped between two devastating realities: his medical colleagues' dismissive silence and his own desperate search for answers. When the scientific method becomes subordinate to pharmaceutical profits and government narratives, medicine dies and propaganda in white coats takes its place. Dr. Sullivan and Dr. McFillin discuss the dangerous psychology of medical compliance and dissect how groupthink has weaponized modern healthcare.

In this episode, Dr. Valentin Fuster presents groundbreaking international research on balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) as a crucial alternative for treating chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension patients ineligible for surgery. Drawing from nearly 500 patients across 18 centers, the discussion highlights BPA's promising outcomes and challenges, underscoring the importance of expert, high-volume centers for optimal safety and effectiveness.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: Robert L. Scott, M.D., Ph.D. Pulmonary hypertension is an important medical condition and often underrecognized in primary care. It has a variety of causes, and its most common presenting symptom is dyspnea. As primary care clinicians, we often see patients with symptoms of dyspnea and pulmonary hypertension is not a health problem we commonly encounter. Yet, early recognition and diagnosis is important and has major implications for patient outcomes. What are some clues that a patient might have pulmonary hypertension? What are its most common causes and what are the potential complications if it goes unrecognized? These are some of the questions I'll be asking my guest, Robert L. Scott, M.D., Ph.D., from the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at the Arizona campus of the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “Pulmonary Hypertension”. ** Course link-- https://ce.mayo.edu/pulmonary-medicine/content/mayo-clinic-pulmonary-hypertension-symposium-2025 **Seats are limited, so visit our website to register now!  Connect with us and learn more here: https://ce.mayo.edu/online-education/content/mayo-clinic-podcasts

Sandra M. Oliver-McNeil, DNP, ACNP-BC, FACC, JACC: Case Reports Deputy Editor, is joined by author Liam S. Flanagan, MD discussing this study from Flanagan et al presented at ACC.25 and published in JACC: Case Reports. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) has a diverse range of etiologies and carries significant morbidity and mortality. Here, a 45-year-old female presented with shortness of breath and was found to be in acute right heart failure due to PAH. Exam demonstrated features of scurvy. She initially required vasopressors, supplemental oxygen therapy, and PAH therapies but rapidly improved with vitamin C supplementation.

In today's VETgirl online veterinary CE podcast, we discuss hypocoagulability in dogs with pulmonary hypertension. For quick review, pulmonary hypertension, which we will refer to as “PH”, is an abnormal increase in pulmonary pressure and can be caused from cardiac, respiratory, or systemic conditions. In human medicine, both hyper- and hypocoagulability have been associated with PH, but no veterinary studies have been performed on this topic... until now! So today we will be reviewing the AJVR retrospective study by Min et al entitled “Pulmonary Hypertension is Associated with Hypocoagulability in Dogs: A Retrospective Analysis of 66 Cases (2013-2021).”

Hall Skaara, a resilient PH patient and founder of the Norwegian Association for Pulmonary Hypertension, recounts his 19-year journey living with idiopathic pulmonary hypertension. He shares how he transformed the challenges of the pandemic into an innovative opportunity by helping create the Bel Air Center, a virtual global PH community space. The Bel Air Center aims to foster global connections, support, and resources for patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals.

Send us a Text Message.In this episode of "The Incubator" at NeoHeart 2024, hosts Ben and Daphna interview Dr. Sam Gentle, a neonatologist presenting at the conference.Dr. Gentle discusses his upcoming talk on the potential impact of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) on the progression of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD)-associated pulmonary hypertension. He emphasizes the lack of pulmonary hypertension as an outcome in previous PDA trials and the importance of considering PDA as a continuous exposure rather than a binary one.The conversation touches on the challenges of determining when to intervene in cases of prolonged PDA exposure. Dr. Gentle shares insights from his research, suggesting that PDA exposure beyond 2-3 months may significantly increase the risk of pulmonary hypertension in premature infants.They discuss the cognitive biases that can affect clinical decision-making regarding PDA treatment and the need for statistical analysis to guide interventions. Dr. Gentle also mentions an upcoming trial on percutaneous PDA closure that will assess pulmonary hypertension as an outcome.The episode highlights the ongoing debate in neonatology regarding PDA management, particularly the question of how long is too long to leave a PDA open. Dr. Gentle appreciates the conference's multidisciplinary approach, noting the value of gaining perspectives from cardiologists on these complex issues As always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

On this episode of JHLT: The Podcast, the JHLT Digital Media Editors explore two studies from the June issue of The Journal of Heart and Lung Transplantation. Digital Media Editor Van-Khue Ton, MD, a transplant cardiologist from Massachusetts General Hospital, hosts this episode.   First, Dr. Ton and Digital Media Editor Marty Tam, MD, interview their first guests, first author Matthew Carey, MD, MBA, and senior author Justin Fried, MD, both of the Columbia University Irving Medical Center in New York City, on their study “Aortic Root Thrombosis in patients with HeartMate 3 left ventricular assist device support.”   This retrospective study of all patients receiving a HeartMate 3 LVAD at a single center between November 2014 and August 2020. The study evaluated findings related to patients with aortic root thrombosis, classified as having at least 1 echocardiogram or contrast-enhanced CT scan with thrombus. In the population of 197 patients, 19 had aortic root thrombus, which was ultimately associated with an increased risk of developing significant aortic regurgitation during the study period.   Drs. Carey and Fried discuss whether aortic valve opening is associated with increased risk of aortic root thrombus, how to balance the bleeding-thrombosis scale in patients, and how the study fits in the context of prior generations of LVAD.   Next, Dr. Ton joins and Digital Media Editor Erika Lease, MD, FCCP, to interview, Jacqueline DesJardin, MD, a Fellow in the department of medicine at the University of California San Francisco. Dr. DesJardin is first author on the study “Investigating the “sex paradox” in pulmonary arterial hypertension: Results from the Pulmonary Hypertension Association Registry (PHAR).”   PHAR is a multicenter US-based registry of patients with PAH, and this study analyzed 1,891 patients from the registry, 1,425 (75%) of whom were female. At baseline, compared to men, women had worse functional status and worse hemodynamics. Women were more likely to be on triple therapy or parenteral prostacyclin therapies at baseline. Interestingly, women had better survival than men, even after adjusting for numerous variables.   In the discussion, Dr. DesJardin explains what collider stratification bias is, and how it may illuminate the complex epidemiological system that creates this disparity. She shares the three potential causal models posed in the study, and considers how the study might be followed up.   Follow along at www.jhltonline.org/current, or, if you're an ISHLT member, access your Journal membership at www.ishlt.org/jhlt.   Don't already get the Journal and want to read along?

Normal blood pressure keeps us alive. It's the force that moves blood throughout our circulatory system, ensuring that oxygen and nutrients reach our organs and tissues and that waste products are eliminated. When we hear the word hypertension—high blood pressure—we know this describes the blood flow exerting too much force against blood vessel walls. Pulmonary hypertension describes high blood pressure in the vessels of the lung. Specifically, pulmonary hypertension is an elevated mean arterial pressure (≥20 mm Hg at rest) of the vessels between the heart and the lung. After listening to this AudioBrick, you should be able to: Define pulmonary hypertension and compare with pulmonary arterial hypertension. Describe the clinical presentation and diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension, including results from electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, and heart catheterization. Explain how pulmonary hypertension leads to right-sided heart failure. Describe how pulmonary vascular resistance affects pulmonary arterial pressure. List common etiologies of pulmonary hypertension, differentiating between cardiac and pulmonary causes. List the most common cause of pulmonary arterial hypertension. Describe the treatment of pulmonary hypertension. You can also check out the original brick on Pulmonary Hypertension from our Respiratory collection, which is available for free.
