Sudden Cardiac Death in Athletes

Heart Matters ·

2008/11/26

Host: Doug Weaver, MD Guest: Doug Zipes, MD Sudden cardiac deaths are rare among elite 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? Host Dr. Doug Weaver talks with Dr. Doug Zipes, distinguished professor emeritus of medicine at the Indiana

Examining the Biodegradable Stent

Heart Matters ·

2008/11/26

Host: Doug Weaver, MD Guest: Martin Leon, MD Will drug-eluting stents prove safer and more effective without a metal structure? For all their merits, current stent technologies still present a series of drawbacks, including the severe complication of late thrombosis. Biodegradable polymers may hold the key to minimizing this and other concerns. Host Dr. Doug Weaver discusses the most promising areas of research in this area with Dr. Martin Leon, professor of medicine and associate

Antiplatelet Therapy After Drug-Eluting Stent...

Heart Matters ·

2008/11/24

Host: Doug Weaver, MD Guest: Peter Berger, MD It is no longer a question of whether antiplatelet therapy should be used following implantation of a drug-eluting stent, but rather to what extent and to what duration. With this in mind, many new challenges arise, from bleeding risks to drug intolerance and product cost. Host Dr. Doug Weaver welcomes Dr. Peter Berger, associate chief research officer and director of the Center for Clinical Studies at the Geisinger Clinic in central

Host: Janet Wright, MD Guest: Arvind Agnihotri, MD Artificial heart valves have steadily evolved since their arrival on the surgical scene in the 1960s. A range of the newest devices have shown significant potential, including the prospect of valve replacement in high-risk, symptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis. What are the most promising devices on the horizon today, and how will these new tools allow us to care for populations with precarious cardiac function without
