Heart Matters

Since cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death in the U.S., cardiology physicians are continuously working to better understand this common disease and to help patients improve their heart health. And here to assist cardiology physicians in this mission is Heart Matters, a series dedicated to covering essential strategies and research efforts focusing on all types of heart problems, including coronary artery diseases, heart attacks, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and

Host: Alfred Bove, MD Guest: Leslie Miller, MD Options for patients with advanced heart failure used to be limited to heart transplantation, but ventricular assist devices have rapidly evolved into viable treatment options for these patients. How is the newest generation of continuous-flow devices impacting the way we care for patients with advanced heart failure?

Host: Alfred Bove, MD Guest: Gregg Stone, MD Results of a recent study may change the standard of care for patients with acute coronary syndromes. Although clopidogrel is generally the antiplatelet therapy of choice for patients for whom an invasive strategy is planned for treating their acute coronary syndromes, bleeding can be of concern. Prasugrel often presents the same dilemma. Enter, ticagrelor. The PLATelet inhibition and patient Outcomes, or PLATO, trial compared ticagrelor

Host: Janet Wright, MD Guest: Michael Ho, MD, PhD Medication adherence is a significant problem in the US. Patients with chronic conditions such as hypertension or high cholesterol can be particularly susceptible to non-adherence, because patients may not experience symptoms that would seem to justify taking medication, and thus may not notice any immediate benefits from their medications. What are some of the other barriers to medication adherence? Dr. Michael Ho, associate
