Exciting news at North Colorado Medical Center! The new Stroke-Reducing Device, Watchman FLX Pro, is now available for atrial fibrillation patients. Thanks to CVI Banner and fellow Cardiologist for their support in bringing this innovation to our program. The device features an improved fabric covering to reduce clot formation and promote healing.

Do you know what the “average” person affected by heart failure looks like? There isn’t one. It touches everyone in some way. It’s almost guaranteed to impact your life somehow. So, we want to hear your stories. How has cardiac care affected you?

Why second opinions important while taking decisions on any type of critical cardiac conditions Compared to two decades before cardiac services in India has gone through major transformations resulting in good and guideline directed emergency services including primary angioplasty (emergency angioplasty done for acute heart stroke patients) even in hospitals at majority of district headquarters. The Cath lab services, which are fundamental for any invasive solution in cardiology, were available in metros and major cities of India for more than 2 decades.  Read more: https://lnkd.in/g8QYUiQf #heart #secondopinion #angioplasty #hearthealth #heartstroke

In older patients with advanced #heartfailure, few are evaluated for #hearttransplant or LVAD implantation and palliative care is underutilized. Read more about it here: https://lnkd.in/ex5CqAui #HFSA2024♥ #Cardiology

🔬𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐜 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦 𝐏𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠🫀 The world of cardiology is advancing with Conduction System Pacing (CSP)—a cutting-edge approach to treating heart failure and conduction disorders. Unlike traditional pacemakers, CSP targets the heart's natural pathways, promoting synchronized heartbeats and improved cardiac function. This breakthrough offers promising outcomes, reduced complications, and enhanced quality of life for patients.

There's good news to share this American Heart Month: Advances in surgery, medication and other treatments have played a huge role in lowering the mortality rate for heart disease. The fact remains that prevention, starts with us. And we're getting there. “Our primary and secondary heart disease prevention is better than ever,” says William Crosland, MD, of Cardiology Associates of Savannah. “Primary means that we are able to intervene before the development of heart disease and the co-morbidities that make it life-threatening, such as diabetes. Secondary means that the patient already has a diagnosis of heart disease, but we have ways to manage it and prevent its progression.” Dr. Crosland uses every opportunity he can to educate patients on the basic risk factors for heart disease, which include high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking and unhealthy diet. Patients are more knowledgeable about the factors that need the most focus. “I think we’ve made great strides in managing high blood pressure and diabetes and that has led to the reduction in the cardiac mortality threat we’ve seen,” he says.

💉 Rotational Atherectomy: A Vital Tool for Complex CAD 💉 Rotational atherectomy is an irreplaceable technique in interventional cardiology, especially for managing heavily calcified coronary lesions. Since the first case in 1988, it has been essential for treating patients where traditional methods fall short. At our institution, we've been privileged to help many patients with severe calcifications using this advanced technique. Much of my success is due to the invaluable guidance and mentorship from two of the foremost authorities in the field, Dr. Samin K. Sharma and Dr. Annapoorna Kini Their insights have been instrumental in refining our approach and ensuring the best possible outcomes for our patients. Here are some key tips and tricks we've adopted, inspired by their expertise: 1. Rota Glide Optimization: Add nitroglycerin, verapamil, and heparin to the Rota Glide solution for smoother burr movement and reduced complications. 🧴 2. Tension Management: Carefully adjust tension between the rota floppy wire, Teflon sheath, and burr to ensure optimal control. 🛠️ 3. Guidewire & Burr Selection: Use the ROTAWIRE Floppy, shaping the tip smoothly to avoid complications (avoid loops). Start with a small burr (1.25 or 1.50 mm) for most lesions, and consider downsizing if needed. 🔄⚙️ 4. Ablation Speed & Technique: Maintain a rotational speed between 135,000-180,000 RPM. Use a pecking motion for controlled burr advancement and keep individual runs to 20-30 seconds. ⏱️⏩ 5. Handling Complications: If complications like burr entrapment arise, follow specific strategies, such as controlled push-and-pull techniques or using a Guidezilla to dislodge the burr. 🚑 These strategies, deeply rooted in the teachings of Dr. Samin K. Sharma and Dr. Annapoorna Kini have been game-changers in our practice. Their dedication to advancing the field of interventional cardiology has not only guided our hands but also shaped our commitment to patient care. 🎥 The following video highlights some of the patients we were able to help last week using rotational atherectomy. #InterventionalCardiology #RotationalAtherectomy #Cardiology #ComplexCAD #PatientCare Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute Boston Scientific Abiomed Shockwave Medical

Case Study of the Week: Dr. Amit Gangwani showcases an extraordinary feat in interventional cardiology—a complex, high-risk calcified left main bifurcation stenting in a 65-year-old patient. With a challenging history of dilated cardiomyopathy, diabetes, and recent NSTEMI, precise planning and advanced CHIP techniques, including rotational atherectomy and DK crush, were key. Result: Successful intervention with minimal contrast, rapid recovery, and discharge on Day 3. This underscores the crucial role of strategic circulatory support and meticulous technique in managing high-risk cases. Book your appointment today!
