  • 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.

2025 ACC Concise Clinical Guidance on Evaluation and Management of ATTR-CM
Q: How do you decide among available disease-modifying therapies for ATTR-CM?
No randomized clinical trials comparing therapies exist, so decisions are based on cost, access, and patient preference.
2025 ACC Concise Clinical Guidance on Evaluation and Management of ATTR-CM
Q: How do you approach the patient who presents with extra cardiac evidence of ATTRCM?
There isn't evidence that these patients derive benefit from disease-modifying therapies, but they have a greater chance of developing ATTR cardiomyopathy, so assessment and monitoring are important.
2025 ACC Concise Clinical Guidance on Evaluation and Management of ATTR-CM
Q: What is the diagnostic algorithm for ATTRCM?
The algorithm begins with ruling out AL amyloidosis and requires specific tests to confirm ATTRCM. Key pitfalls to be aware of include choosing the right site for biopsy and confirming SPECT imaging.
The Role of MRAs in the Management of HF
Q: How shall we implement initiation of these therapies between specialists, given the comorbidities?
Dr. Butler emphasizes that these medicines are manageable in primary care settings and that all healthcare professionals should work together to provide optimal care, ensuring that patients receive therapy even at lower doses if needed.
The Role of MRAs in the Management of HF
Q: Can you walk us through the current evidence, both with steroidal MRAs in terms of the clinical trials as well as non-steroidal MRAs?
Dr. Butler discusses various clinical trials and evidence supporting the use of steroidal MRAs and emphasizes the positive outcomes from non-steroidal MRAs, particularly focusing on recent trials involving patients with heart failure and chronic kidney disease and diabetes.
