|
An Expensive Problem To Ignore Cardiologists are divided about whether to screen heart patients for depression, but many primary care doctors have embraced the idea, said Dr. Ken Duckworth, medical director for the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
|
|
The operation is a daring one: To replace a failing heart valve, cardiologists insert a replacement through a patient's groin and thread it all the way to the heart, maneuvering it into the site of the old valve.

While emergency department physicians and cardiologists are becoming aware of the psychological impact of cardiac events, there is not enough information yet to say what might lead patients to suicide, said Edmondson, who wasn't involved with the new study.
|
|
Over the past two decades, cardiologists have increasingly treated it with a procedure called catheter ablation, in which small plastic catheters are used to create scars in the damaged heart tissue to prevent the aberrant electrical signals from spreading.
|
|
And while some cardiologists were quick to caution that more data is needed in order to evaluate the Apple Watch's effectiveness, the prevalence of heart disease in this country alone means there's a massive need for consumer-ready heart tracking data.
|
|
Certainly, that seems to be the opinion of cardiologists who are largely divided over whether the risk of unnecessary treatment and needless what-the-hell-is-going-on-with-my-heart anxiety is worth catching a few undiagnosed heart ailments.
|

I have seen so many cardiac stents put in patients who do not need them, stents that enrich cardiologists and device manufacturers, stents that cost the system as much as 300 of my office visits but do not help patients.
|
|
Cardiologists tell heart patients that it's safe to have sex if they can comfortably walk up two or three flights of stairs, and a Canadian study found that doctors who climb hospital stairs arrived at their destination faster than the elevator.

Stanford Medicine's principal investigator, Mintu Turakhia, pointed to that statistic to CNBC as an "important finding," as cardiologists have expressed concern that the Watch would produce a high rate of false positives, and send hoards of young people to the doctor's office unnecessarily.
|
|
The study was much discussed among exercise cardiologists, but some were skeptical of its conclusions, suspecting that the seeming damage to the heart muscle after endurance events was likely to be ephemeral, like sore leg muscles, and should similarly resolve with time.
|
|
Here are some of the other key findings from the study: The results of the study are promising, but they still haven't convinced cardiologists that Apple Watch, and other wearable devices, are the right tool for monitoring people for signs of atrial fibrillation.

While updated guidelines covering the potential use of Entresto are in the works, the delay has frustrated some experts such as Milton Packer, one of the cardiologists who led trial research into Entresto that found it cut the risk of both cardiovascular death and admissions to hospital by a fifth.
|
|
But the conventional wisdom among cardiologists is that the sort of medical therapy that patients got in Ischemia is just not feasible in the real world, said Dr. William E. Boden, scientific director of the clinical trials network at VA Boston Healthcare System, who was a member of the study's leadership committee.
|
|
But anesthesiologists have access to the most powerful psychoactive drugs in the hospital and can monitor major changes in consciousness in ways that aren't possible outside the OR. That's when he started thinking: what if psychiatrists could harness potent consciousness-altering drugs to heal broken brains the way cardiologists use surgery to repair broken hearts?

Although cardiologists can still only guess at why very high HDL levels may incur a health risk, the findings reinforce the importance of focusing less on the "good" cholesterol and even more on the "bad" — the level of LDL, or low-density lipoprotein, cholesterol that is still too high in as many as one-third of adults in this country.
|
|
An investigation published in May by The New York Times gave a detailed look inside the institution in 2016 and 20163, when cardiologists — captured on secret audio recordings provided to The Times — grappled with whether to keep sending patients to their own hospital for surgery and pressed administrators to provide mortality data they said they had not been able to get for several years.
