Join Drs. Eckman, Leclercq, Jessup, Miller, Rogers, and Haas as they discuss the management of heart failure patients and late-breaking results from the HeartMateŽ II Destination Therapy Clinical Trial.
An older patient appearing obviously fatigued and "worn out" presents in the office complaining of heaviness in the chest, and shortness of breath especially with any type of exercise. Not your typical angina patient, or is it? How do you go about working up this patient to make the right diagnosis? Drs. Pepine and Wenger discuss the approach to patients with ischemia and treatment considerations.
Dr. Ileana Piņa discusses the design and outcomes of the MADIT-CRT trial with Drs. Moss and Estes, and how these new data may benefit patients with heart failure.
Despite improvements in the treatment of HF, morbidity and mortality remain a pressing public health issue. Disappointing and controversial results with positive inotropic agents have driven the search for new mechanisms and approaches to improve cardiac performance. Drs. Greenberg, Felker, McMurray, and Pfeffer explore these new possibilities.
Does early intervention with CRT-D slow the progression of heart failure? Watch as Dr. David Cannom interviews Drs. Camm, Hlatky, Klein, Moss and Page, and gets their expert opinions on late-breaking clinical trial data released at ESC 09 and how it will affect patient care.
Dr. Jeroen Bax, on the cusp of publishing a landmark paper to validate the role of MIBG imaging in risk stratifying patients with heart failure, provides a snapshot of his study in this interview from Europace 2009.
