Physician, inventor. and serial entrepreneur David E. Albert, M.D., joins Anthony Kashou, M.D., for a discussion on the changing role of remote cardiac monitoring solutions in patient care.

After being diagnosed with multiple heart conditions, including a heart murmur, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and a left bundle branch block, Mitch Prust agreed to participate in a remote cardiovascular monitoring study. The study involved having a small device implanted under his skin to continuously record heart rhythm data. One day Mitch experienced a strange fall and reached out to his Mayo Clinic cardiology team to see if the device picked up any unusual heart activity around the same time. The loop recorder data showed that Mitch’s heart had stopped beating for 10 seconds.

Cardiac electrophysiologist and director of Mayo Clinic’s Heart Rhythm and Physiological Monitoring Laboratory, Peter Noseworthy, M.D., joins host Anthony Kashou, M.D., to discuss the use of artificial intelligence-augmented ECG algorithms at Mayo Clinic.

For patients with cardiac arrhythmia, which can cause palpitations, sudden loss of consciousness, and even death, inpatient cardiac monitoring allows doctors to observe their heart rhythms in real time and respond when a life-threatening arrhythmia is detected. For decades, cardiologists at Mayo Clinic have performed real-time cardiac monitoring on inpatients, using this data to guide treatment decisions. For patients outside the hospital, however, there has been no means to detect and respond to dangerous rhythms in real time.

Hennepin Healthcare’s Stephen Smith, M.D., joins host Anthony Kashou, M.D., to discuss STEMI versus non-STEMI and occlusion vs. nonocclusion myocardial infarction.

Journal of Electrocardiology editor-in-chief Adrian Baranchuk, M.D., joins Anthony Kashou, M.D., and Peter Noseworthy, M.D., to discuss why the electrocardiogram continues to be the easiest and fastest way of recording electrical signals of the heart.
