Mashup Score: 7Does the VHA Offer Better Quality of Care to Veterans Than Community Care? - American College of Cardiology - 2 day(s) ago
Cardiovascular care delivered by the Veterans Healthcare Administration (VHA) is equivalent or better than that provided by non-VHA community care, according to a State-of-the-Art Review by the ACC Federal Cardiology Leadership Council published Jan. 20 in JACC: Advances. Nearly 50% of veterans report having at least one cardiovascular disease, compared with 37% in non-veterans. The VHA is the largest integrated health care system in the U.S., with 172 medical centers containing 139 cardiology departments

“Let me call you back, the nurse is here,” he said. “Hello, I am Dr. Tobb, the cardiologist,” I said. As he stared me down, the patient finally asked me, “Did you say you are a cardiologist? The heart doctor?” Smiling, I said, “Yes sir, I am.” He replied, “You definitely are not who I was expecting.” As a Black woman in cardiology, I am aware of the rarity of my position, and this encounter only served to underscore it. He allowed me to care for him. As I write this perspective, my hope is that other

Mashup Score: 3ARRC-AF: Outcomes Following Index Ablation For Atrial Fibrillation - American College of Cardiology - 3 day(s) ago
Additional rhythm-control strategies are frequently continued after index ablation for atrial fibrillation (AFib), according to a study published Feb. 12 in JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology. One in s ix patients underwent repeat ablation, and the majority received concomitant antiarrhythmic drugs (AAD). In the study, Sanjeev Saksena, MD, MBBS, FACC, et al., used Optum’s deidentified Market Clarity Data to follow 23,323 patients after index ablation (mean age 63 years; 67.2% men). Most patients had one or

Mashup Score: 8New Machine Learning Algorithm Identifies Patients Likely to Benefit From LAAO vs. DOAC - American College of Cardiology - 3 day(s) ago
A novel causal machine learning algorithm can determine which patients with atrial fibrillation (AFib) are more likely to benefit from left atrial appendage occlusion (L AAO) compared with direct-acting oral anticoagulant (DOAC) therapy, according to a study published Feb. 12 in JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology. Clinical guidelines recommend lifelong drug therapy for stroke prevention in patients with AFib. However, DOACs increase bleeding risk and lifelong adherence is poor. LAAO is an attractive

Mashup Score: 21From the Member Sections | Tackling the Polypharmacy Pandemic in CV Care - American College of Cardiology - 7 day(s) ago
In recent years, numerous health care challenges have been tackled, some making headlines, while others quietly escalate under the radar – like polypharmacy. Cardiovascular medications frequently lead this category, often contributing to adverse clinical outcomes, including emergency department visits and hospitalizations. As clinicians, we’re caught between evidence-based guidelines and the need for individualized care, a balance that’s even more delicate with older adults. The most vulnerable among us
