4.4 out of 5 stars from 60 ratings
  • Good podcast-but poor audio quality

    Very good material and presenters, but substandard audio quality. Sounds like they are doing interviews via Zoom or over cell phones.

  • Constructive feedback

    Very informative podcast, I love it. There is room for improvement the accuracy of some details but overall it is basic and useful education. I.e. Ivabradine requires a minimum HR of 70 and not 60, plus the presence of sinus rhythm. Also, His bundle pacing is not that new and is being left behind by Left bundle area pacing at this point. Otherwise, great podcast. Keep it up!

  • Very informative -- will inspire you to eat better

    I thought I knew a decent amount about nutrition but I have been learning a lot from each episode. It is definitely making me take a closer look at my food choices, but instead of making me feel bad, this podcast makes me feel excited about eating healthier foods.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Intersections in Dyslipidemia and Cardiometabolic Syndrome Management
Q: Do you interpret that as starting lipid lowering therapy in these borderline risk patients, or should we emphasize intensive lifestyle changes first?
The guideline framework is a starting point; decisions should be personalized, weighing risk signals, imaging options like calcium scoring, and the patient-clinician discussion about how proactive to be.
Intersections in Dyslipidemia and Cardiometabolic Syndrome Management
Q: How have these updates already begun to change your clinical practice today so far, if at all?
Dr. Kim notes earlier and broader screening, expanded risk assessment, and personalized discussion with patients as key shifts; emphasis remains on balancing lifestyle strategies with pharmacotherapy based on individual risk.
Risk Assessment and Treatment of Hypertriglyceridemia
Q: How should clinicians think about triglycerides as a cardiovascular risk factor, and how should elevated triglycerides influence patient management?
Triglycerides are a continuous ASCVD risk factor; management should stratify risk first by ASCVD risk and then by triglyceride level, using statins to reduce ASCVD risk and lower triglycerides when appropriate, while addressing secondary causes and lifestyle factors.
Beyond the Kidneys: UACR and Cardiovascular Risk
Q: But I wanted to start with your sense, you're a practicing clinician, you're seeing lots of patients in your practice each day. How are you using and incorporating UACR into your practice as a cardiologist?
UACR is used both as a marker of cardiovascular risk and as a tool to diagnose CKD; it informs risk interpretation and prompts appropriate management, with an emphasis on routine screening and integrating this data into patient discussions and treatment decisions.
Clinic Ready: Strategies for Seamless Remote Monitoring Implementation
Q: Lisa, how do you decide which patients are ideal candidates for PA pressure sensors and who might be less suitable?
Candidates should be motivated and adherent, capable of transmitting data daily, and have manageable comorbidities; considerations include chest circumference, QRS status, and potential alternate therapies like valve interventions when indicated.
