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

How to Achieve, Measure, and Maintain Quality of Care

Heart Matters ·

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,

Host: Jack Lewin, MD Guest: Kim Belshé, MPP California is the largest state in our union. Bigger than a host of nations in many ways, from population to gross domestic product, its sheer size is one of many reasons why the state's health care system is under duress. Despite the state's budget woes, California is one the few states in our union to take significant steps toward health care reform. As national reform efforts begin to take shape, what lessons can we draw from

Going Home and Staying Home: Reducing Readmissions

Heart Matters ·

2009/05/26

Host: Jack Lewin, MD Guest: Harlan Krumholz, MD The transition from inpatient to outpatient status is a vulnerable spot in our health care system: more than one in four patients with congestive heart failure are back in the hospital within 30 days of discharge, and readmission rates for a host of other conditions are above 20 percent. The right improvements during this transition phase could have a profound impact, reducing the incidence and cost of unnecessary readmissions, and

Host: Jack Lewin, MD Guest: Regina Herzlinger, PhD The role of specialization in our economy dates back to the 18th century. Now fast-forward to healthcare in the present day: one application of specialization is the concept of a focused factory, where care providers focus on one or two specific organs or disease processes.

Reducing Childhood Obesity, One Sound Policy at a Time

2009/05/26

Host: Jack Lewin, MD Guest: Nancy Brown Decisions our young patients make now can have metabolic consequences for the rest of their lives. It's hard to overstate, not only how crucial it is that we reduce the incidence of childhood obesity, but also how difficult it has been for us to turn the corner on this issue. These concurrent themes are central to a campaign put forth by the American Heart Association (AHA) that aims to make major progress on childhood obesity in the years to

Guest: Joshua Hare, MD Host: Janet Wright, MD Cardiac disease was once thought to be both progressive and irreversible. As stem cell therapies emerge across many fields of medicine, our patients with cardiac disorders may be among the first to benefit from this translation of basic science into very valuable clinical applications. What do the latest findings tell us about our ability to tap into the promise of stem cells to treat, reverse or even prevent cardiac disease? Dr. Joshua

How Close Are We to a Cardiac Polypill?

2009/05/12

Host: Janet Wright, MD Guest: Salim Yusuf, DPhil, FRCPC Start with one part diuretic. Add one part ACE inhibitor, and sprinkle in one part beta blocker. Then add a dose of statins, and top it off with a portion of antiplatelets. Here we have the proposed recipe for a singular pill that some experts believe will eventually help us stick a fork in heart disease. Yet there are pharmacologic concerns and certainly clinical trials to pass before this drug comes to a practice near you

Contraceptive Hormones & CV Disease: Pursuing the Link

2009/05/12

Host: Janet Wright, MD Guest: Noel Bairey Merz, MD Research tells us that more than 80 percent of American women have used hormonal contraception during their lives. Though evidence suggests hormonal contraception could offer anti-atheromatous effects, the verdict is far from in. Further, we have a lot to learn about the long-term risks for thrombosis, arrythmogenesis, vasomotion and beyond. As we study the potential links between contraceptive hormone use and cardiovascular

Host: Janet Wright, MD Guest: Rita Redberg, MD, MSc Does elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) make sense for patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD), or are some better off with optimal medical therapy? The answer may depend on our ability to document ischemia in these patients, but it also leads us to another question: are we doing enough, through stress testing or other means, to substantiate the need for PCI?

Women and Heart Disease: Closing the Outcomes Gap

Host: Janet Wright, MD Guest: Rita Redberg, MD, MSc It is increasingly recognized that symptoms of heart disease are different for men and women. But it appears we are often slower to recognize heart disease in women, resulting in important distinctions in early treatment and outcomes. What are these differences, and how can we, as providers, help narrow this gender gap?
