Contact Information Available for logged-in reporters only Results of a new study challenge the current consensus in cardiology that peak myocardial edema, or heart muscle swelling, only occurs just after a myocardial infarction, or heart attack. In the study, presented as a Late-Breaking Clinical Trial at the American Heart Association (AHA) Scientific Sessions 2014 and published simultaneously in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC), scientists discovered a second wave of swelling and inflammation occurs within a week of a heart attack. The researchers from Mount Sinai Heart at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares Carlos III (CNIC) in Spain believe their identification of this second wave of inflammation may advance the use of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging to better assess initial damage caused by a heart attack. Furthermore, it may enable the design of future targeted therapies that interrupt the two inflammatory reactions to better protect a patients heart muscle. Previously, it was widely accepted that heart muscle responds in a stable and progressive way to a heart attack or blockage, with the response pattern starting right after the attack and lasting at least a week. Our study found … Continue reading →

Updated: Monday, Nov. 17 Following revelations that he was formally accused of sexual harassment in 2013, former School of Medicine cardiology chief Michael Simons MED 84 has been removed from his position as director of the Yale Cardiovascular Research Center. Simonss removal from his directorship follows his decision not to return as cardiology chief after allegations that he sexually harassed one of his researchers, Annarita di Lorenzo. Although the University-Wide Committee on Sexual Misconduct, after examining the allegations against Simons, recommended that he be permanently removed from his position at the helm of cardiology, Provost Benjamin Polak chose to suspend Simons for 18 months instead. However, he remains a tenured professor at Yale, according to School of Medicine Dean Robert Alpern. According to a Thursday night email addressed to all faculty members of the medical schools cardiology department, authored by Gary Desir who is interim chair of the Department of Internal Medicine Simonss removal is effective immediately. The email said that the removal came as the result of a prior review of his leadership. It did not mention the sexual harassment charges. However, faculty members interviewed claimed that the process of Simonss removal did not involve administrative transparency. Desirs email … Continue reading →

The diagnostic tests in cardiology are methods of identifying heart conditions associated with healthy vs. unhealthy, pathologic, heart function. Obtaining a medical history is always the first "test", part of understanding the likelihood of significant disease, as detectable within the current limitations of clinical medicine. Yet heart problems often produce no symptoms until very advanced, and many symptoms, such as palpitations and sensations of extra or missing heart beats correlate poorly with relative heart health vs disease. Hence, a history alone is rarely sufficient to diagnose a heart condition. Auscultation employs a stethoscope to more easily hear various normal and abnormal sounds, such as normal heart beat sounds and the usual heart beat sound changes associated with breathing versus heart murmurs. A variety of blood tests are available for analyzing cholesterol transport behavior, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, lipoprotein little a, homocysteine, C-reactive protein, blood sugar control: fasting, after eating or averages using glycosylated albumen or hemoglobin, myoglobin, creatine kinase, troponin, brain-type natriuretic peptide, etc. to assess the evolution of coronary artery disease and evidence of existing damage. A great many more physiologic markers related to atherosclerosis and heart function are used and being developed and evaluated in research. (*) due to … Continue reading →

Contact Information Available for logged-in reporters only Newswise David Wilber, MD, FAHA, FACC, director of the Division of Cardiology of Loyola University Medical Center, has been named editor-in-chief of the newly launched Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Clinical Electrophysiology. The bimonthly journal will begin publishing in March, 2015. It will feature original research and review articles on cardiac rhythm disorders. Electrophysiology is the branch of cardiology that involves the diagnosis and treatment of heart rhythm disorders such as atrial fibrillation. Electrophysiology is an incredibly dynamic and rapidly growing specialty in cardiology, and this new resource will be a valuable source of information for those in the field, as well as for general cardiologists, said Patrick OGara, MD, FACC, president of the American College of Cardiology. Electrophysiologists treat heart rhythm disorders with medications; with implantable devices such as pacemakers and defibrillators; and with a procedure called catheter ablation that burns problematic heart tissue. Dr. Wilber said JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology will bridge the gap between new scientific developments and their implementation in clinical practice. We hope this new journal will be a major addition to the medical literature on electrophysiology, and a forum for new advances, he said. Dr. Wilber … Continue reading →
