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

My Heart Your Heart: Explanting Pacemakers to Reuse...

Heart Matters ·

2009/09/17

Host: Janet Wright, MD Guest: Timir Baman, MD Charitable organizations have been working for years to support the harvesting of pacemakers for implantation in individuals worldwide, for whom these lifesaving and life-prolonging devices otherwise might not be available. It is a practice that is not currently allowed for reuse within the United States, on the grounds that it has not been proven safe and effective. A team of investigators at the University of Michigan, as part of the

2009/08/25

Host: Janet Wright, MD Guest: Geoffrey Ginsburg, MD, PhD Patient-centered care is a hot topic in health care these days, though usually when we think of patient-centeredness, our thinking tilts toward aspects of policymaking or system delivery. Host Dr. Janet Wright takes a look at the science side of patient-centered care — the more precise tailoring of therapy known as personalized medicine — with Dr. Geoffrey Ginsburg, founding director of the Center for Genomic Medicine at the

Endoscopic Vein-Graft Harvesting in CABG Procedures

Heart Matters ·

2009/08/25

Host: Janet Wright, MD Guest: John Alexander, MD, MHS One of the reported benefits of endoscopic vein harvesting is a lower risk of wound complications following coronary bypass grafting, though it has yet to be established that long-term clinical outcomes for this technique are superior to those achieved using open harvesting under direct vision. New findings suggest a need to weigh short-term benefits against long-term outcomes. Host Dr. Janet Wright talks with Dr. John

Host: Janet Wright, MD Guest: David Sabgir, MD Sometimes there is nothing more pleasant than a simple walk in the park. Encouraging your patients to take an easy stroll may also be an easy way to improve their cardiovascular health. Many of us have talked many times with our patients about the benefits of a regular exercise program, and yet this talk therapy may not be achieving the desired result.

The Possibility of Cardiac Cell Regeneration

Host: Janet Wright, MD Guest: Stefan Jovinge, MD, PhD A growing body of evidence tells us human cardiomyocytes are capable of endogenous regeneration. The concept has been debated in medicine for some time, but as more data accumulate behind this theory, it is very tempting to think about novel treatment strategies.

Where Do Accountable Care Organizations Fit Into Reform?

But there's more to an ACO than just the name: why might these groups be one of our best options for better quality and reduced costs -- helping patients,

How to Achieve, Measure, and Maintain Quality of Care

2009/06/30

Host: Janet Wright, MD Guest: Peggy O'Kane As the debate for health system reform heats up in Washington, we're going to take a break to focus on quality: how to achieve it, how to measure it and how to maintain it. In order to meet these objectives, there are a range of options that would either reward or punish those of us practicing in an attempt to achieve higher levels of quality. Host Dr. Janet Wright probes a litany of ideas in the quality discussion with Peggy O'Kane,
