Chronic Limb Threatening Ischemia
 
Guest: Arashk Motiei, M.D.
Hosts: Sharonne Hayes, M.D.
 
Chronic limb threatening ischemia is a common problem associated with a high morbidity and mortality. Patients need aggressive multidisciplinary evaluation and treatment to reduce the risk of limb loss and associated cardiovascular risk.
 
Topics Discussed:
What are the key clinical manifestations of chronic limb threatening ischemia?
What is the risk of limb loss and mortality in patients with chronic limb threatening ischemia?
What are some diagnostic tests and what are the pitfalls of these tests?
Can you give us a broad overview of revascularization for these patients?

ECMO - Extracorporeal Membranous Oxygenation
Guest: Philip J. Spencer, M.D.
Hosts: Malcolm Bell, M.D.
Extracorporeal Membranous Oxygenation is a mechanical life support used for severe heart, lung or heart and lung failure. Over the last decade it has grown massively in use to help us support our most ill patients to destination therapy or recovery.
 
Topics Discussed:

Can you describe some of the history of ECMO to explain how we got to present day use?
Please describe some key differences in venoarterial and venovenous ECMO? What makes them different from a technical standpoint and how are they used differently for our patients?
There has been some controversy recently as to the use of ECMO and survival. Can you describe where this controversy is coming from and how we think ECMO can really make a difference in survival for patients?

Lung Transplant
 
Guest: Philip J. Spencer, M.D.
Hosts: Malcom Bell, M.D.
Lung transplant has evolved over the last 4 decades to be come the only “durable” treatment for end stage lung failure and pulmonary hypertension. Long-term survival remains a challenge however is improving with time while the severity of illness we can treat continues to expand
 
Topics Discussed:

What patients are we currently treating with lung transplantation and how has this changed over time.
What tools have evolved over the last 10-15 years that have increased our ability to expand lung transplantation to older and more severely ill patients?
What areas do you see as a focus for improvement in the next decade in the field of lung transplantation?

Advances in Understanding Bicuspid Aortic Valve
Guest: Hector I. Michelena, M.D.
Hosts: Patricia A. Pellikka, M.D.
The congenital bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital heart defect, affecting 1% of the population (2% in men and 0.5% women), with men to women ratio of 2:1 to 3:1, and it is characterized by heterogeneity of phenotypic expression and outcomes.
 
Topics Discussed:

What is bicuspid aortic valve and why is it important?
What is meant by saying that it is a heterogeneous disease?
What is the natural history of the disease?
What are the differences between BAV AS and TAV AS? What about BAV AR and TAV AR?
Are there sex differences in BAV disease?

ICI Myocarditis
Guest: Joerg Herrmann, M.D.
Hosts: Sharonne Hayes, M.D.
At the end of this recording, the listener will have an understanding of the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and their cardiovascular side effects, which include myocarditis, heart failure, and acute coronary events. Challenges in diagnosis and treatment of these cardiovascular events will be discussed.
 
Topics Discussed:
What are immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) and for which diseases are they used?
What are the most common side effects of ICIs to be aware of, especially cardiovascular side effects for our audience?
How do you diagnose ICI myocarditis? What are the caveats?
How do you treat ICI myocarditis? Can you resume ICI therapy once resolved?
What about other CV side effects with ICI therapy? Easy to recognize, easy to manage?
