Name: Episode 3 - The Next Top Model Activating And Improving Systems Of Care by American Heart Association
Duration: 26 min 46 s
Description: Listen as Dr. Howard Haft & Dr. Tracy Yu-Ping Wang discuss techniques on how to improve the transition of care for ASCVD patients into the outpatient setting – and how social determinants of health play a factor in treatment plans.

The use of pacemakers and cardiac implantable electronic devices or CIEDs is becoming more common. While these devices extend and improve people’s lives with minimal problems in most cases, for patients who experience infections related to their devices, gaps and delays in guideline-recommended care can lead to preventable illness, disability and death. Dr. Miguel Leal, Associate Professor in Electrophysiology at Emory Health Care, and Ms. Trudie Lobban, the founder of the Arrhythmia Alliance, the AF Association and STARS, discuss the value of shared decision-making between patient and healthcare professionals when it comes to preventing and managing device infections.

E1 - Treating pacemakers and other implantable device infection: A shared decision

Join us for this interesting podcast as Dr. Ralph Riello III, PharmD, discusses research and strategies for effective alerts in the electronic health record to aid in guideline directed medication therapy for ASCVD.

E1 - Guideline-Based Alerts in the Electronic Health Record for ASCVD

Data has shown that gaps and delays in guideline-recommended care for pacemaker and cardiac implantable electronic device or CIED infections are all too common and can lead to preventable illness, disability and death for patients who experience infections related to their devices. Improved awareness and timely diagnosis are essential to help save lives. In this podcast, Dr. Jim Cheung, Professor of Medicine, Director of the Cornell Cardiac Electrophysiology Fellowship Program, and Director of Clinical Electrophysiology Research at Weill Cornell Medicine and Ms. Ann Spalding, Nurse Practitioner for the Cardiac Electrophysiology Service at New York Presbyterian-Weill Cornell review a patient case and have a conversation about the importance of timely CIED infection identification and management.

E2 - Treating Pacemakers and Other Implantable Device Infections: Case Study Review and Implications

E1 - Roadmap To ASCVD Treatment

How does the equity gap play a role in lipid management? Join us as we interview Dr. Keith Ferdinand on the importance of recognizing & addressing implicit bias in cardiovascular care, and what he is doing at Tulane university to train future physicians in this subject matter.

Episode 1 - The Importance Of Bridging The Gap In Lipid Management

Listen as Dr. Howard Haft & Dr. Tracy Yu-Ping Wang discuss techniques on how to improve the transition of care for ASCVD patients into the outpatient setting – and how social determinants of health play a factor in treatment plans.
