  • Pregnancy and pulmonary arterial hypertension

    I just listened to you episode on PAH in pregnancy. I had was in worse condition than the case you discussed in the episode. I survived and would love to tell my store. There is a case study written about me from the hospital where I delivered.

  • Simply the Best

    I have been an active listener throughout my cardiology fellowship (since episode 1). I love the variety of episodes with guideline summaries, and case reports being my favourite. The information is of the highest quality and delivered in a clear way. Highly recommended for all cardio nerds regardless of your level of training.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

471. ACS Guidelines Question #9 with Dr. Venu Menon
Q: Why do guidelines generally wait before recommending an ICD after an acute myocardial infarction?
Ejection fraction can improve as stunned myocardium recovers after revascularization and medical therapy. Waiting allows clinicians to identify patients whose ejection fraction remains low and who may benefit from an ICD.
471. ACS Guidelines Question #9 with Dr. Venu Menon
Q: What is the most appropriate next step?
Consider ICD placement for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death. The patient has persistently low ejection fraction and symptoms after the required interval following myocardial infarction and revascularization.
474. Cardiothoracic Surgery in Pulmonary Embolism with Dr. Joshua Goldberg
Q: Can you please walk us through the indication for initiating MCS in this setting? When do you pull the trigger? How do you decide whether it's a bridge to recover or a bridge to surgery or to catheter-based intervention?
Goldberg recommends right ventricular support for patients who are hypotensive, symptomatic or decompensating. He says ECMO can stabilize the patient and allow the team to decide on subsequent clot-directed treatment without acting under immediate emergency conditions.
474. Cardiothoracic Surgery in Pulmonary Embolism with Dr. Joshua Goldberg
Q: Can you take us through your thought process regarding when a patient with high-risk PE warrants surgical management as opposed to thrombolysis? Do you think chronicity is a major factor for these patients? Where does the evolving and promising data for catheter-based therapies come into play?
Goldberg says surgery is generally considered when other treatment options are unsuitable, particularly for subacute clots that are difficult to extract with catheter-based devices. He emphasizes mechanical circulatory support for unstable patients.
473. ACS Guidelines Question #11 with Dr. Venu Menon
Q: True or false? It is reasonable to administer 3 to 4 units of packed red blood cells for a goal hemoglobin greater than or equal to 10 grams per deciliter.
True. The 2025 ACS Guidelines say a liberal transfusion strategy targeting hemoglobin above 10 g/dL may be reasonable for patients with ACS and acute or chronic anemia. The evidence suggests possible benefit but is uncertain, so clinicians should consider ischemia, stability, and the individual circumstances.
