Heart Matters

Dr. Matthew Sorrentino sits down with Dr. Heval Kelli, a cardiologist who specializes in general non-invasive cardiology and preventive cardiology at Northside Hospital, to discuss his recent nomination for ReachMD’s Heroes in Healthcare Initiative, honoring those recognized by their peers for outstanding contributions to medical care.

Previously thought to mostly affect men, heart disease puts an equal or greater number of women at risk. What do we need to know about protecting them from this life-threatening condition? Dr. Nanette Wenger, a Professor of Medicine in the division of cardiology at Emory University School of Medicine, joins us to discuss the prevalence of heart disease among women.

Developments in the healthcare community have changed the field of preventative cardiology. But how have they impacted cardiology care? Heart Matters hosts Dr. Alan Brown and Dr. Mathew Sorrentino examine adherence to medicine, improvements to compliance, and new entries into the marketplace surrounding cardiology.

As the field of healthcare continues to change, how will the future of preventative cardiology be impacted? Join our Heart Matters hosts, Dr. Alan Brown and Dr. Mathew Sorrentino, as they sit down to discuss their experiences in preventative cardiology and the future of the healthcare system.

While the field of cardiology has grown to become more inclusive, female-led research and diversity in study participants remain limited. How can we better understand this lack of representation? Tune in as Dr. Matthew Sorrentino explores a recent study on gender disparities in heart failure research with Dr. Nosheen Reza.

Heart disease is a leading cause of death in the United States and may impact young adults earlier than we think. Maybe even before they’re born. Joining Dr. Matthew Sorrentino is Dr. Laetitia Guillemette, who discusses her study published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal investigating the relationship between exposure to diabetes in the womb and heart disease in young adults and teenagers.

For decades, news reports have focused on the prevalence of high blood pressure among adults in the U.S. But a recent study claims that blood pressure among these adults has actually decreased between 1960 and 2005. Here to divulge the surprising results of his study and discuss systolic blood pressure improvements in adults in the U.S. is Dr. Daniel Lackland.

Each year, more than 75 thousand cardiac ablation procedures are performed in the United States alone. Could something straight out of a science-fiction movie like holograms help improve physician accuracy and reduce the complications typically associated with this procedure? Talk a walk on the futuristic side of medicine with Dr. Matthew Sorrentino and Dr. Jennifer Silva, who co-led a team that tested a unique headset using mixed reality technology during cardiac ablation procedures at St. Louis Children’s Hospital.
