We will conclude our month-long observance of American Heart Month on the Talk Ten Tuesdays weekly Internet radio broadcast with an upcoming guest appearance of Cardiologist Harry B. Peled, MD with St. Jude Medical Center in Fullerton, Calif.

Last Tuesday, Dr. Mahesh Amin reported on the use of new protocols centered on high-sensitivity troponins for the diagnosis of type 2 myocardial infarction (MI). The response to his appearance was overwhelming; hence the continuation of this timely and critically important topic during the next broadcast.

Our series on the plight of rural hospitals will also continue with Dr. James Kennedy, who will report on an unfolding tragedy facing America’s rural populations as they seek care from facilities faced with drastically dwindling resources.

The live broadcast will also feature these other segments:

• Coding Report: Laurie Johnson, senior healthcare consultant with Revenue Cycle Solutions, LLC, will report on the latest coding news.
  
  
• News Desk: Timothy Powell, CPA, will anchor the Talk Ten Tuesdays News Desk.
  
  
• TalkBack: Erica Remer, MD, founder and president of Erica Remer, MD, Inc. and Talk Ten Tuesdays co-host, will report on a subject that has caught her attention during her popular segment.
