Heart Health Series | Cardiotoxicity of Cancer Therapies
Feb 2400:26:11Tap to summarizeHost: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: Balaji Tamarappoo, M.D., Ph.D. With advances in oncology, patients are living longer than ever following a diagnosis of cancer. Newer treatments have dramatically improved survival. However, we’re also seeing an increasing number of cancer survivors who are at risk for cardiovascular complications; at times during treatment, and sometimes years later. Complications such as heart failure, cardiac arrhythmias, hypertension, and accelerated coronary disease are not uncommonly seen in our primary care practice. As primary care clinicians, what do we need to know? I’m joined today by Dr. Balaji Tamarappoo, M.D., Ph.D., a cardiologist with expertise in cardio-oncology. We’ll discuss which cancer therapies pose the highest cardiac risks, what baseline and surveillance testing is recommended, if the risk of cardiotoxicity be decreased, and how primary care can partner effectively with oncology and cardiology to protect our patients’ hearts while they battle their malignancy. The topic for today’s podcast is “Cardiotoxicity of Cancer Therapies.” Mayo Clinic Talks: Heart Health | Mayo Clinic School of Continuous Professional Development Connect with us!

Transcribe →Heart Health Series | Pericardial Disease
Feb 1700:28:01Tap to summarizeHost: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: Hema Narayanasamy, M.B.B.S. Pericardial disease represents a spectrum of both inflammatory and non-inflammatory disorders which involve the pericardium, with acute pericarditis being the most common disorder. Although not often seen in a primary care practice, we still need to consider pericarditis as it can masquerade several other more commonly seen conditions. It’s important to recognize pericardial disease early and decide who needs an urgent referral or hospitalization for appropriate treatment. What are some of the more common causes of pericardial disease? What are the most commonly encountered symptoms, physical exam findings, imaging results, and lab abnormalities? What are the potential complications? The topic for today’s podcast is pericardial disease, and my guest is Dr. Hema Narayanasamy, from the Department of Cardiovascular Disease from the Arizona campus of the Mayo Clinic.

Transcribe →The Power of Intervals: High Intensity Interval Training and Reducing Cardiovascular Risk
Feb 1000:20:03Tap to summarizeHost: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: Stephen Kopecky, M.D. We have a variety of pharmacologic options and lifestyle changes we recommend to our patients to reduce their cardiovascular risks. One frequent recommendation is participation in a regular exercise program. One specific type of exercise is high intensity interval training. It’s been shown to improve a variety of metabolic parameters. What does high intensity interval training consist of? What are the specific metabolic benefits? Can all patients participate in this type of exercise? What’s the recommended duration and frequency of training and how good is patient adherence to interval training? The topic for this podcast is “High Intensity Interval Training and Reducing Cardiovascular Risk” and my guest is Dr. Stephen Kopecky, a preventive cardiologist in the Department of Cardiovascular Disease at the Mayo Clinic.

Transcribe →Heart Health Series | Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease
Feb 500:29:23Tap to summarizeHost: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: George Wang, M.D. Bicuspid aortic valve is a relatively common congenital heart disease. It can be associated with other genetic disorders such as Turner’s Syndrome or exist as an isolated entity. In most cases, patients with a bicuspid aortic valve are initially asymptomatic; however later in the course, they may develop symptoms related to a subsequent aortic stenosis or regurgitation. It’s also associated with a dilated ascending aorta with potential rupture if unrecognized. Therefore, it’s in the patient’s best interest to diagnose the condition as early as possible. What are the early symptoms and when should we suspect the patient may have a bicuspid aortic valve? What type of surveillance should be performed and when is surgery indicated? These are some of the questions I’ll be asking my guest, Dr. George Wang, a cardiologist in the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at the Arizona Campus of the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease”.

Transcribe →Heart Health Series | Cardiac Amyloidosis
Feb 300:29:35Tap to summarizeHost: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: Julie Rosenthal, M.D. Cardiac amyloidosis is not a common condition, but it is important for primary care clinicians to recognize it in our patients. It’s commonly underdiagnosed as the symptoms are often assumed to be due to other, more common cardiac problems. Early recognition is important since this can result in improved treatment options and better patient outcomes. So how do we recognize cardiac amyloidosis? What are the presenting symptoms and what’s the best way to establish an accurate diagnosis? I’ll be asking my guest these questions as we discuss cardiac amyloidosis. My guest for tis podcast is Dr. Julie Rosenthal, a cardiologist in the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at the Arizona campus of the Mayo Clinic.

Transcribe →Concussions: What Every Primary Care Provider Should Know
Jan 2700:27:36Tap to summarizeHost: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: Matthew B. Anastasi, M.D. Patients with concussions are commonly seen in primary care practices and concussions don’t spare any particular age group. Children, young adult athletes and older individuals are all at increased risk. They’re a form of traumatic brain injury and while most are self-limiting, they require an accurate assessment, proper management and appropriate follow-up to make sure the patient is recovering and not experiencing complications. When should we suspect a concussion? What questions should we be asking in order to make an accurate diagnosis? What’s the best management of a patient who has had a concussion and finally, when can that patient return to their normal activities? The topic for this podcast is “Concussions: What Every Primary Care Provider Should Know” and my guest is Dr. Matthew Anastasi, a family medicine and sports medicine physician at the Arizona campus of the Mayo Clinic.

Transcribe →Vascular Medicine Series: Vascular Wound Treatments
Sep 2300:29:25Tap to summarizeHost: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. Guest: Matthew (Mark) Melin, M.D. Vascular wounds can be quite challenging. If untreated, they can lead to infection, even sepsis, hospitalization and occasionally, amputation. Effective treatment requires an accurate diagnosis and recognition of the specific type of vascular wound you’re dealing with. Even when the type of wound is correctly identified and is being treated appropriately, healing can be slow. What diagnostic tools are available to help us? How does a venous insufficiency ulcer differ from an arterial ulcer? What’s the best treatment for these wounds and when should we refer our patient to a vascular specialist? The topic for this podcast is “Vascular Wound Treatments” and these are some of the questions I’ll be asking my guest, Matthew (Mark) Melin, M.D., a vascular specialist from the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at the Mayo Clinic.
