Secrets to Achieving CAD Regression
Secrets to Achieving CAD Regression Guest: Stephen Kopecky, M.D. Host: Sharonne Hayes, M.D. Coronary artery disease regression can occur in lipid rich plaque. Calcified and fibrotic plaque are essentially scars and cannot regress; however, they also are not associated with plaque rupture, which can lead to myocardial infarction. Studies with invasive angiography or CT angiography that have shown successful regression of CAD have addressed risk factors including hypertension, smoking, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes. They also address lifestyle, including healthy diet such as DASH or Mediterranean diet, regular physical activity, and stress mitigation. Topics Discussed: Can all types of coronary plaque (calcified, fibrotic, lipid rich) regress? How can we assess coronary artery disease regression? What have studies told us the best way to achieve CAD regression?

Association Between COVID-19 Vaccination and Atrial Arrhythmias in Individuals with Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices
Association Between COVID-19 Vaccination and Atrial Arrhythmias in Individuals with Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices Guest: Malini Madhavan, M.B.B.S. Host: Anthony H. Kashou, M.D. In a study of over 7000 individuals with a cardiac implanted device in the Biotronik CERTITUDE registry, the burden of device detected AF was noted to be higher in the 3 months after covid vaccination compared to the 3 months preceding vaccination. A similar trend was observed for Influenza vaccinated individuals. However, when comparing a propensity matched group of controls without COVID vaccination, the trend towards increased burden of AF was similar in the 2 groups. This led the authors to conclude that the observed increase in AF burden represents the natural progression of AF risk rather than vaccine related changes. Topics Discussed: The study of atrial fibrillation burden after COVID vaccination, including the conclusion. How the incidence of AF after COVID 19 vaccination compares to that after influenza vaccination. Other studies that have investigated arrhythmia occurrence after COVID vaccination. Safety for patients with cardiovascular disease to get vaccinated for COVID 19.

Updates from the 2024 ESC and AHA Scientific Statements on Cardiac Sarcoidosis
Updates from the 2024 ESC and AHA Scientific Statements on Cardiac Sarcoidosis Guest: Leslie T. Cooper Jr., M.D. Host: Kyle W. Klarich, M.D. Cardiac sarcoidosis is a systemic, chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by non-caseating, epithelioid cell granulomas that may involve many tissues and organs. The Heart Rhythm Society criteria for diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis require a biopsy-proven diagnosis of extra-cardiac sarcoidosis. If extra-cardiac sarcoidosis is confirmed, CS is highly probable when there is evidence of the following: (a) rhythm abnormalities in either ECG or Holter monitoring such as advanced AVB (Mobitz type II second-degree or third-degree AVB), sustained VT, and (b) LV dysfunction on echocardiography or CMR (LVEF <40%) and/or compatible pattern on advanced imaging modalities (cardiac PET, CMR). EMB, sometimes with electrogram guidance to increase diagnostic yield, remains useful in indeterminant cases, including isolated cardiac involvement or suspected genetic etiology. Multidisciplinary teams consisting of respiratory physicians, rheumatologists, and cardiologists with expertise in sarcoidosis as well as other relevant subspecialties such as advanced cardiac imaging specialists (CMR and nuclear medicine) and electrophysiologists are needed to integrate immunosuppression with arrhythmia and heart failure management. Topics Discussed: What percentage of patients with cardiac sarcoidosis have lung or thoracic lymph node involvement? Which of the following are associated with greater risk of heart failure or ventricular arrhythmias in definite or probable cardiac sarcoidosis: Which of the following medications may be added to guideline directed treatments for the initial management of acute and symptomatic cardiac sarcoidosis?

Current Nutritional Controversies- What is the Science Behind the Current Trends in Mainstream Media?
Current Nutritional Controversies- What is the Science Behind the Current Trends in Mainstream Media? Guest: Professor Christopher Gardner, Ph.D. Host: Kyla Lara-Breitinger, M.D. From the perspective of both mainstream and social media, it can often seem that there is more controversy than consensus about nutrition topics such as seed oils and ultra processed foods. To the contrary, Christopher Gardner, a nutrition scientist and professor of medicine at Stanford University finds just the opposite, that there is more consensus. However, recognizing the consensus requires providing important context for nutrition issues – in particular, with what, and instead of what. Once that context is provided, many of the topics with seemingly intractable disagreements like seed oils and ultra processed foods can be addressed from a more pragmatic perspective that can help us all to follow a more cardioprotective dietary pattern that leads to longevity and an increased health span. Join us as Professor Gardner addresses these topics with a uniquely engaging blend of humor and evidence-based science on this week’s podcast. Topics Discussed: Discuss beef tallow vs. seed oil controversy. How did ultraprocessed foods become a dominant food source and how to win the battle against it? Keeping it simple and pragmatic for daily life- how do we follow a cardioprotective pattern that leads to longevity and increased health span?

Antiplatelets After Stenting
Antiplatelets After Stenting Guest: Malcolm Bell, M.D. Host: Sharonne Hayes, M.D. In this podcast, we discuss the rationale for shortening the duration of dual antiplatelet therapy after coronary stenting and continuing P2Y12 inhibitor in preference to continuing aspirin as monotherapy. With this approach, the risk of significant bleeding is reduced significantly and with no corresponding increase in ischemic or thrombotic events. This strategy is particularly attractive for patients who are considered to be at high-risk of bleeding or who suffer an actionable bleed. A P2Y12 inhibitor appears to more efficacious for long term secondary prevention than aspirin. Topics Discussed: Changes in the use of dual antiplatelet therapy for patients undergoing coronary stenting. Short DAPT and dropping the aspirin. Patient population ideal for monotherapy with a P2Y12 inhibitor. What do you do after 6 or 12 months of monotherapy – continue, or switch back to aspirin?

There are major limitations implementing AI-ECG, including regulatory, technical and clinician-related. Algorithms meant to detect rare diseases, when used indiscriminately, may lead to many false positive results. The future of AI-ECG is optimizing its implementation through seamless integration in workflows, use of point of care or wearables getting ECG signals, and using multimodality AI, where AI-ECG would be just one of several signals used to detect cardiac and non-cardiac conditions, aging, and to predict cardiovascular events. Topics Discussed: What is new on AI ECG these days? What new algorithms have been developed that you see may change clinical practice in the future? (although structured as 2 questions, its actually one) What are the major limitations using AI-ECG in clinical practice? What do you think is the future of AI-ECG?

An AI-ECG Algorithm for Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction
An AI-ECG Algorithm for Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction Guest: Jae Oh, M.D. Host: Anthony H. Kashou, M.D. Diastolic function assessment is crucial in diagnosing, managing, and predicting outcomes in various cardiac conditions. It provides insight into heart health, particularly in diagnosing heart failure. Shortness of breath, a common patient complaint, often indicates elevated diastolic filling pressure if linked to a cardiac condition. Echocardiography is the primary method for assessing diastolic function, but it is operator-dependent and not always available. In contrast, ECGs are standardized and widely accessible. Although subtle changes in ECGs are not easily detectable by the human eye, artificial intelligence can identify specific conditions reflected in the ECG. By training an AI model with labeled ECGs based on diastolic function determined through echocardiography, researchers achieved high accuracy in detecting diastolic dysfunction. AI-enhanced ECGs can significantly impact the identification of both asymptomatic and symptomatic cardiac conditions, potentially streamlining diagnostic strategies and reducing costs. Future developments may enable patients to monitor their heart health using simple wearable devices, enhancing the management of heart failure and other conditions. Topics Discussed: Your special clinical academic interest is echocardiography. Why are you interested in ECG AI in diastolic function? What is diastolic function and why is it important to assess diastolic function in clinical practice? Why did you decide to create AI-ECG for diastolic function assessment? What did you find and how do you envision AI ECG for diastolic function be used in clinical practice?

3D Visualization of the Heart in Immersive Technology Like Mixed Reality
3D Visualization of the Heart in Immersive Technology Like Mixed Reality Guest: Dr. Klaudia Proniewska Host: Anthony H. Kashou, M.D. The most commonly applied way of teaching students the foundations of human anatomy and physiology involves textbooks and lectures. This method of transmitting knowledge causes difficulties for students, especially in the context of three-dimensional imaging of organ structures, and as a consequence, translates into difficulties with imagining them. Even with the rapid uptake of knowledge dissemination provided by online materials, including courses and webinars, there is a clear need for learning programs featuring first-hand immersive experiences tailored to individual study paces. In my research, I present an approach to enhance a classical study program by combining multi-modality data and representing them in a Mixed Reality (MR)-based environment. The advantages of the proposed approach have been proven by the conducted investigation of the relationship between heart anatomy, its electrophysiological characteristics, and resulting wave morphology on the electrocardiogram (ECG). Another part of the research focuses on the role of the anatomy of the heart, e.g., the sinoatrial node, in ECG formation, while the MR-based visualization of combined imaging data with non-invasive CineECG (by Peter van Dam) imaging demonstrates the educational application of these advanced technologies for teaching cardiac anatomy and ECG correlations. Topics Discussed Can you explain why three-dimensional structures are important to teach electrophysiology of the heart? How does the electrocardiogram (ECG) relate to heart anatomy, and why is this relationship fundamental in understanding cardiac electrophysiology? Give an example. Have you implemented any innovative teaching methods or technologies to enhance the learning experience in cardiac anatomy and electrophysiology? If so, can you describe their impact? In your experience, what are the most effective ways to convey complex 3D structures and dynamic processes in cardiac anatomy and electrophysiology to students or professionals?

Understanding ECG Waveforms: Normal vs. Abnormal
Understanding ECG Waveforms: Normal vs. Abnormal Guest: Dr. Peter van Dam Host: Anthony H. Kashou, M.D. The ECG interpretation is majorly driven by event detection, i.e. QRS onset and end, QT time, P wave etc. From these we can determine the normal heart rhythm, and some performance measures, like heart rate etc. The ECG waveforms, however, are much less understood. This is a pity, as ECG waveforms, provide instantaneous information on the electrophysiological and structural function of the heart. In this respect it is interesting to know if there is something like a normal ECG waveform or normal PathECG (CineECG). This latter technique is a vector-based method to estimate the electrical position of a moving vector within the heart. Similar normal distributions can be created to compare to the normal ECGs. Topics Discussed How can we define a normal ECG waveform? (ECGs from healthy normal people for different age groups, I used about 6000 normal ECGs, correction for heart rate by resampling to standard QT time (400 ms for instance, these ECGs can be used to create a distribution of amplitudes and derived signals (CineECG) to compare an ECG too) What is needed for an accurate waveform comparison? (Good baseline correction, not filtering, but baseline correction) What is the onset and end of the P-wave, QRS and T wave?) Are normal ECGs waveforms different from abnormal ECG waveforms? (Of course they overlap, describe left bundle branch block, or ischemia, with long QRS or deviating ST segment ) Did you use this method to classify ECGs as normal or abnormal? (results from our study (manuscript in preparation) that any QRST sequence in an ECG can be classified as abnormal with an accuracy (AUC) of more than 81%. In our study population 15% of the patients had only atrial related abnormal ECGS) Connect with Mayo Clinic's Cardiovascular Continuing Medical Education online at https://cveducation.mayo.edu or on Twitter @MayoClinicCV and @MayoCVservices.
