September 16 | John M. Mandrola, MD | Putting Dogmas of Cardiology to the Test

Putting Dogmas of Cardiology to the Test

John M. Mandrola, MD
Cardiology & Electrophysiology
Baptist Health

Overview:

While the field of cardiology has been exemplary in the generation of evidence, much of what we now accept as therapeutic fashion comes with weak evidentiary support. My goal is to use historical lessons as a means to render learners less susceptible to dogma and medical reversals.

Objectives:

At the conclusion of the activity a participant should be able to:

  • Use seminal trials to guide current critical appraisal
  • Resist the urge to accept practices with weak evidentiary support
  • Use critical appraisal skills to reset prior beliefs about what does and does not benefit patients

John Mandrola, MD has nothing to disclose relevant to the content of his presentation

Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy: Can We Finally Clarify its Cause and Pathophysiology?

Paolo E. Angelini, MD
Interventional Cardiology
Texas Heart Institute

 

Overview:

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is a persistently confusing condition especially affecting women.

Its causes and most effective treatment are still unclear.  We have developed at Texas heart institute a novel theory based on endothelial dysfunction and coronary spasm.  We have substantial objective evidence now to claim that TTC can finally be reproduced in the Cath lab by acetylcholine testing of endothelial dysfunction and that intracoronary nitroglycerine can reliably abort the presentation.

Objectives:

At the conclusion of the activity a participant should be able to:

  • Discuss the condition to establish the individual patient liability to Takotsubo is endothelial dysfunction. Acetylcholine testing can reproduce this entity during heart catheterization. Catecholamine surge can be a non-essential precipitating cause in predisposed patients.
  • Discuss Nitroglycerine that can apparently abort Takotsubo if given early in its onset. Long term Calcium antagonists can apparently be successful in preventing relapsing.

Overview:

We will discuss current management of acute Type B aortic dissection: Pros and cons of medical and surgical management

Objectives:

  • Discuss the pros and cons of medical versus surgical treatment
