Two years ago, when 29-year-old Meckenzie Tinaglia experienced a series of seizure-like events shortly after a cardiac ablation procedure, she knew her heart was to blame. Her local providers, however, weren’t convinced. If not for Mayo Clinic remote cardiac monitoring and the data it provided on the potentially fatal arrythmia Meckenzie was experiencing, the busy wife and young mother might not have survived.

Dan O’Bryan didn’t think his dizziness and lightheadedness were anything to worry about. Nearly 100 miles away, the Mayo Clinic Monitoring Solutions team that was remotely observing Dan’s heart rate could see the truth.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) management is rapidly evolving, with major societies (ACC, HRS, EHRA, ESC) publishing important updates that impact clinical care. In this “ECG Segment: Making Waves” episode of the “Mayo Clinic Cardiovascular CME” podcast, host Anthony Kashou, M.D., is joined by guest experts Christopher DeSimone, M.D., Ph.D., and Abhishek Deshmukh, M.B.B.S., to discuss the latest updates in AF guidelines.

In this “ECG Segment: Making Waves” episode of the “Mayo Clinic Cardiovascular CME” podcast, host Anthony Kashou, M.D., welcomes guest expert Nicholas Tan, M.D., M.S., to discuss anticoagulation with atrial fibrillation and cancer.

In this episode of the “Mayo Clinic Cardiovascular CME” podcast, Anthony Kashou, M.D. is joined by experts Christopher DeSimone, M.D., Ph.D., and Abhishek Deshmukh, M.B.B.S., to discuss how the implementation of pulsed field ablation for atrial fibrillation has changed the practice.

In this episode, Anthony Kashou, M.D., sits down with Nicholas Tan, M.D., M.S., to explore how clinicians should consider electrophysiology in patients with cancer.

Pulsed field ablation has quickly gained traction in the U.S. for atrial fibrillation due to its excellent acute efficacy, favorable safety profile, and fast workflow. However, recurrences post-ablation are comparable to that of previously established modalities, making this a significant hurdle that has yet to be overcome. In this podcast episode, Nicholas Tan, M.D., M.S., discusses the most common causes of recurrence and explores how evolving strategies may help reduce recurrence and improve long-term outcomes for patients.

In this “ECG Segment: Making Waves” episode of the “Mayo Clinic Cardiovascular CME” podcast, Malini Madhavan, M.B.B.S., joins host Anthony Kashou, M.D., to discuss a study examining the association between COVID-19 vaccination and atrial arrhythmias in individuals with cardiac implantable electronic devices.
