4.4 out of 5 stars from 51 ratings
  • Basically just a sales pitch for Cleveland Clinic

    Not much useful information in this podcast - mainly just trolling for more patients. We all know that CC is a great hospital - can’t you just share your knowledge with us?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Cardiac Surgical Support for High‑Risk Lead Extraction
Q: And can you comment on steps that we as extractors can take to make the job of a cardiac surgeon easier in the event of a rescue?
Coordinate early with the cardiac surgical team, pre-plan with imaging and anatomy reviews, ensure peripheral cannulation access is available, and be prepared with a trauma-surgery mindset so that the rescue can be initiated quickly and safely.
SURPASS-CVOT and the Case for Dual Incretin Therapy
Q: Dr. Nissen, can you tell us a little bit about Surpass-Cvot, why it's important?
The trial examined a dual GLP-1/GIP agonist, trisepatide, against a first-generation GLP-1 agonist and found it not inferior to the mono therapy with a broader analysis showing superior outcomes when all obesity-related risks are considered; importantly, all-cause mortality showed a strong benefit, suggesting broader and potentially more meaningful patient benefits beyond traditional cardiovascular endpoints.
Aortic Valve Repair for Aortic Regurgitation
Q: And the topic for discussion today is aortic valve regurgitation. Milind, what is aortic valve regurgitation and why is it important to detect and treat it?
Aortic valve regurgitation is a leakage where blood flows back into the heart rather than forward; the extent can be mild to severe, and larger regurgitation leads to volume overload, heart remodeling, and potential heart failure if untreated. Diagnosis relies heavily on echocardiography to assess severity and etiology, with MRI and CT used for detailed size and structural assessment.
Cleveland Clinic's New Cardiovascular Center on Aging
Q: What criteria should guide cardiologists in consulting geriatric colleagues for elderly patients?
A focus on patients above 75 with advanced frailty, hyperpolypharmacy, cognitive impairment, advanced physical decline, and those needing help with advanced care planning will benefit most from geriatric consultations.
Cleveland Clinic's New Cardiovascular Center on Aging
Q: How does the presence or absence of geriatric syndromes impact treatment approaches?
Geriatric syndromes require tailored therapies for older adults as their management differs significantly from younger patients, factoring in multiple chronic conditions, polypharmacy, and risks of drug interactions.
