In this episode, Seth Martin, MD, MHS, interviews Alex Tarlochan Singh Sandhu, MD, MS, about the management of patients with heart failure (HF), including gaps in patient care, recent clinical trial evidence in the STRONG-HF, IMPLEMENT-HF, PROMPT-HF, and EPIC-HF trials, and digital health opportunities.

Recent Clinical Trial Evidence in the Management of Patients With Heart Failure

In this week's Parallax, Dr Ankur Kalra welcomes back Dr Sukhjinder Nijjer for their much-anticipated annual review of advancements in cardiovascular medicine that defined the year 2023.

Dr Nijjer, a Consultant Cardiologist in the UK, serves as the President of the Royal Society of Medicine and is an Honorary Senior Clinical Lecturer at Imperial College London.

Drs Kalra and Nijjer share their perspectives and experiences, offering valuable insights, practical tips and considerations when interpreting this year’s most impactful trials:

•    ORBITA-2 (AHA Scientific Sessions): PCI for stable angina
•    FIRE (ESC Congress): Functional versus culprit-only revascularization in elderly patients with myocardial infarction and multivessel disease
•    DAPA-MI (AHA Scientific Sessions): SGLT2i in MI without diabetes or heart failure
•    ILUMIEN IV (ESC Congress): OCT vs angiography-guided PCI
•    OCTOBER (ESC Congress): OCT or Angiography Guidance for PCI in Complex Bifurcation Lesions
•    ARTESIA (ESC Congress): Apixaban for Stroke Prevention in Subclinical Atrial Fibrillation
•    SELECT (AHA Scientific Sessions): Semaglutide and Cardiovascular Outcomes in Obesity without Diabetes

What are the most impactful cardiovascular trials of 2023? How do Dr Kalra and Dr Nijjer integrate the latest information into their daily practices?

EP 105: The Year 2023 in Review with Dr Sukh Nijjer

Listen to Ian Neeland, MD, from Case Western Reserve University, address the prevention and management of heart failure for patients with hypertension and diabetes. He will share tools to predict heart failure risk and discuss treatment targets for hypertension to reduce the risk of heart failure. He will also discuss medication classes with evidence for positive outcomes in patients with diabetes and heart failure.

Moderated by Deborah Gordish, MD, The Ohio State University

Cardi-OH Radio 41 - Managing Heart Failure Risk in Your Patient With Hypertension and Diabetes

In this informative episode of Parallax, Dr Ankur Kalra is joined by Dr Andrew Darlington, an Advanced Heart Failure Cardiologist at Piedmont Heart Institute in Georgia.

Together, Dr Kalra and Dr Darlington delve into the significance of assessing volume status in patients with heart failure, highlighting its continued relevance in 2024, including the availability of new diagnostic tools, including the Heart Failure Management System (HFMS).

Dr Darlington shares his approach to taking a patient’s medical history and some of the cues he looks for during a physical exam and the art of assessing neck veins. Together, they explore diagnostic tools and technologies available to measure fluid volume, including HFMS and strategies for effectively communicating about the utility of this technology to patients with worsening heart failure.

Dr Darlington gives a comprehensive overview of the recent clinical data presented at ACC 2023 on the BMAD trial and how he uses HFMS in his own clinical practice.

This series is supported by ZOLL and is intended for Health Care Professionals.

Heart Failure

In this episode, Dr. Kristen Nordenholz breaks down some of the causes and differential for right heart failure in EM. This ties in with the prior podcast from CoACEP with Dr. Tems talking about the indications for ECMO. 

Differential Cause of Right Heart Failure with Dr. Kristen Nordenholz - CoACEP

In this episode from Colorado ACEP, we learn about the EM approach to right heart failure and pulmonary hypertension. 

Right Heart Failure and Pulmonary Hypertension for the EM Doc with Dr. Marianne Wallis - CoACEP

Heart failure remains one of the most urgent challenges in health care, affecting millions of individuals and imposing a significant burden on families and the broader health system. Although guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) has been shown to improve clinical outcomes and reduce hospitalizations, adoption of these therapies remains suboptimal nationwide. Addressing this treatment gap is essential not only for enhancing survival and quality of life but also for mitigating the rising economic impact of heart failure as its prevalence continues to increase. Gluckman also led the session “Addressing Underuse of Guideline-Directed Medical Therapy in Heart Failure” at the July 9 Institute for Value-Based Medicine® (IVBM) event in Garden Grove, CA, where he addressed the need for integrated approaches to drive sustainable, system-level change in cardiovascular care.

On this episode of Managed Care Cast, Ty Gluckman, MD, MHA, FACC, FAHA, FASPC—a practicing cardiologist at Providence Heart Institute in Portland, Oregon, and medical director of Providence's Center for Cardiovascular Analytics, Research, and Data Science—discusses strategies to improve GDMT implementation. The conversation explores opportunities for payers and providers, the potential of remote patient monitoring and digital health tools, and the role of value-based care models in supporting optimal therapy. Emphasis is placed on the importance of aligning clinical guidelines with managed care policies to drive meaningful improvements in patient outcomes.
