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

Reforming the FDA's Drug Approval Process

Heart Matters ·

2009/02/23

Host: Jack Lewin, MD Guest: Mark McClellan, MD, PhD It takes a substantial measure of time, money and manpower to bring a new drug from the bench to the marketplace. One key aspect of this sequence is the drug approval process, overseen by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Host Dr. Jack Lewin welcomes Dr. Mark McClellan, director of the Engelberg Center for Health Care Reform at the Brookings Institution, former commissioner of the FDA and administrator of the Centers for

Stroke Prevention in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation

Guest: John A. Cairns, MD Host: Doug Weaver, MD Long-term anticoagulation is often viewed as inconvenient and somewhat risky, even for patients with atrial fibrillation who are at elevated risk for stroke. Are these factors overshadowing the evidence that demonstrates the effectiveness of anticoagulant therapy in preventing stroke?

With or Without Surgical Backup? Settling the Debate...

Heart Matters ·

2009/01/28

Host: Doug Weaver, MD Guest: Spencer King, III, MD The performance of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) without a surgical backup has long produced controversy. In recent years, off-site PCI has become more common, and clinical evidence demonstrates comparable outcomes for on-site and off-site procedures. How does this shift allow us to serve a broader patient population? Will guidelines change to reflect some of these new findings? For a look at these questions and more,

The Role of Employers in the Health Reform Movement

2009/01/27

Host: Jack Lewin, MD Guest: Chris Jennings It seems we all work so much these days, we might as well get our personal mail delivered at work, or maybe even consider a hide-a-bed for the office. That may seem a bit far-fetched, but many of us do receive our health insurance coverage from our place of employment, and an increasing percentage of us are participating in so-called wellness programs at work. As we anticipate reforms in our health care system, what is the future role of

Potential Concerns About the Newest Line of ICD...

Heart Matters ·

2009/01/27

Host: Jack Lewin, MD Guest: Robert Hauser, MD Because new cardiac technologies are often rapidly integrated into clinical practice, we must be mindful that these innovations can contain a level of risk. Regrettably, we've seen examples of this before with previous generations of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD), and some experts say the latest advances in ICD technology could pose similar problems.

The Cost-Benefit Calculus of CT Angiograms

Host: Janet Wright, MD Guest: Mark Hlatky, MD Measuring precise risks in medicine can be a tricky proposition. Factoring risk into cost-benefit analyses can make the situation even less clear. In many ways, this is where we stand with coronary computed tomography angiograms: a scan can be immediately helpful in emergent circumstances, but at other points in the clinical care spectrum, the value of that scan is more difficult to estimate.

Easing the Healthcare Burden on Small Businesses

It’s a startling reality for many medical employers and employees, and more broadly, for the entire small business sector, which, in some states, is the collective employer for upwards of half of the uninsured population.

Sudden Cardiac Death in Athletes

Yet these abrupt events are confounding, in part, because they strike some of our most physically dynamic individuals, and because there remains a lengthy list of potential causes. How are we advancing our grasp of the underlying triggers of these life-threatening arrhythmias?
