Episodes
Genomics in Inflammatory Cardiomyopathies
Guest: Naveen L. Pereira, M.D.
Hosts: Kyle W. Klarich, M.D
Patients with heart failure and ventricular arrhythmias can have inflammatory heart disease such as myocarditis or sarcoidosis. The diagnosis is typically made by imaging studies including cardiac MRI and PET scans. However, it is critical to performed genetic testing in such patients given that genetic cardiomyopathy can often ...
Understanding ECG Waveforms: Normal vs. Abnormal
Guest: Dr. Peter van Dam
Host: Anthony H. Kashou, M.D.
The ECG interpretation is majorly driven by event detection, i.e. QRS onset and end, QT time, P wave etc. From these we can determine the normal heart rhythm, and some performance measures, like heart rate etc. The ECG waveforms, however, are much less understood. This is a pity, as ECG waveforms, provide instantaneous inf...

Topics Discussed:
- Can you describe some of the his...
Lung Transplant
Guest: Philip J. Spencer, M.D.
Hosts: Malcom Bell, M.D.
Lung transplant has evolved over the last 4 decades to be come the only “durable” treatment for end stage lung failure and pulmonary hypertension. Long-term survival remains a challenge however is improving with time while the severity of illness we can treat continues to expand
Topics Discussed:
- What patients are we currently...

ICI Myocarditis
Guest: Joerg Herrmann, M.D.
Hosts: Sharonne Hayes, M.D.

How Can Genetics Help in the Management of Heart Failure?
Guest: Naveen L. Pereira, M.D.
Hosts: Paul A. Friedman, M.D.
Cardiomyopathy is an important cause of heart failure and can be inherited or have a genetic basis. Identifying a genetic cause for cardiomyopathy not only provides a molecular diagnosis of the disease but holds significant importance in screening family members enabling early identification of disease, providi...
