A Frederick cardiologist agreed to pay the U.S. government over half a million dollars to settle a case in which he was accused of billing Medicare and Medicaid for services he never provided. Dr. Hitesh Patel, who practices through Cardiology Associates in Frederick, agreed to pay $520,096, according to the settlement agreement released Friday by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Maryland. Prosecutors say that Patel administered tests of his patients' lower extremities to assess the sufficiency of their veins. He submitted Medicare and Medicaid claims for the same tests under two different codes, one for Doppler waveform analysis and one for the newer, more advanced Duplex scan. Patel denied the allegations that he billed twice for the same test, but he could not provide records that he administered individual tests for each billing. Follow Kelsi Loos on Twitter: @KelsiLoos.

The new technique FFR measures the blood flow volume in the blocked artery and provides an assessment of the severity of a coronary artery lesion. Aiming to replicate the latest interventional heart technologies, the Cardiology Society of India on Wednesday urged patients with blockages of coronary arteries to undergo Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) as these help in better assessment for stent placement.The new technique FFR measures the blood flow volume in the blocked artery and provides an assessment of the severity of a coronary artery lesion, while OCT provides a high quality image of the inside of coronary arteries to determine the anatomical characteristics of the vessel.FFR and OCT are innovative tools that enable doctors for accurate diagnosis and deciding the right treatment strategy for the patient.The integration of these technologies are also immensely beneficial for the patients as they primarily help in scientifically assessing and perfecting the treatment decision for the patient, resulting in long term clinical benefits, said M.S. Hiremath, President, Cardiology Society of India, in a statement.He said that the two techniques can contribute to more transparency in decision making and deciding whether stent placement is necessary and if stent is implanted … Continue reading →

Dr. Thomas is also president of the Board of Directors for the Putnam County Division of the American Heart Association. Video by Nancy Cutler/lohud Wochit Those who seek support to stop smoking are more likely to succeed.(Photo: AndreyPopov, Getty Images/iStockphoto) I see it in my cardiology practice each day the deadly effects of smoking: The obvious health implications, the attempts to quitand the resignation that comes when those quitting attempts fail. Tobacco addiction causes heart disease, damage to arteries throughout the body, chronic and debilitating breathing issues, stroke, aneurysms, cancer. The list goes on. I prescribe medications (such as nicotine replacement therapies) and offer information for group or individual counseling. Most patients who smoke want to quit but the addiction is just too strong. As a health-care provider, it is my job to speak out to break the cycle of tobacco addiction, and thats exactly what legislation thats been proposed to raise the age of sale for tobacco products … Continue reading →

The Sam Houston State Kinesiology Department in Huntsville, Texas, and Huntsville Memorial Hospital (HMH) in Alabama have partnered together to provide a new educational experience in cardiology medicine for graduate students. The new program allows students to observe multiple procedures in the HMH Heart and Vascular Center, guided by Guarav Aggawala, MD. Students can see angioplasties, stent placements and other diagnostic procedures in the cath lab. [We] are extremely grateful to Huntsville Memorial Hospital for allowing our students to continue their education outside the walls of the university, said Matt Wagner, PhD, an associate professor at Sam Houston. The openness and willingness to answer all of our questions displayed by HMH, Dr. Aggarwala, Margaret Gulledge and all of the staff there are extremely appreciated. The opportunity to see what happens in the real world was invaluable to our students. It was an outstanding day and an outstanding learning experience.
