Cardiology

Guest: Parul Rai Cardiopulmonary complications are a leading cause of early mortality in adults with sickle cell disease, with evidence showing that cardiac injury may begin as early as childhood. However, despite the severity of these issues, there are currently no uniform guidelines for asymptomatic cardiac screening in this population. Join Dr. Parul Rai, a physician in the Department of Hematology at St. Jude’s Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, to learn about current research, early detection strategies, and the need for more sensitive diagnostic markers to prevent severe cardiac outcomes in patients with sickle cell disease.

Host: Charles Turck, PharmD, BCPS, BCCCP Guest: Jeff Brandes By embedding evidence-based metrics directly into existing workflows, the partnership between the American Medical Association (AMA) and Azara Healthcare supports providers in proactively managing hypertension. To learn more about how integrating the AMA MAP™ Hypertension Quality Improvement Program into Azara’s population health tools empowers clinicians to seamlessly deliver guideline-driven care, Dr. Charles Turck speaks with Mr. Jeff Brandes, President and CEO of Azara Healthcare.

Guest: Andrew Goldstone, M.D., Ph.D. On this episode of Advances in Care, host Erin Welsh talks to Dr. Andrew Goldstone, pediatric cardiac surgeon at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia, about the groundbreaking heart transplant that saved the lives of three separate children. It was the first time doctors at NewYork-Presbyterian Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital performed a split-root domino partial heart transplant. In this procedure, one child was transplanted with a new heart and their original heart was used to donate living pulmonary and aortic valves to two separate recipients in need. Dr. Goldstone, his colleague Dr. David Kalfa, and the rest of the team at NewYork-Presbyterian and Columbia had previous experience with a handful of domino partial heart transplants where one patient is transplanted with a new heart and another receives a valve from the explanted heart. Those experiences helped prepare for the split-root domino, which took nearly 24 hours of extremely coordinated care. In addition to their efforts to increase the number of domino heart transplants being done, physician-researchers at the institution are leading new studies that are also helping improve living valve procurement and storage, allowing more children to receive heart valves that will grow with them and require less surgeries. © 2025 …

Host: Mary Katherine Cheeley, PharmD, BCPS, CLS, FNLA Guest: Faiyaz Syed MD, MPH The Michigan Primary Care Association (MPCA) recently partnered with the AMA to implement the AMA MAP™ Hypertension Quality Improvement Program at two pilot health centers. After this collaboration resulted in a 6 percent improvement in hypertension control, it’s now expanding to all other MPCA health centers and could even focus on other conditions like diabetes. Joining Dr. Mary Katherine Cheeley to share his experience with the AMA MAP™ program is Dr. Faiyaz Syed, Chief Medical Officer for the MPCA.

Host: Mary Katherine Cheeley, PharmD, BCPS, CLS, FNLA Guest: Joel M. Gelfand, MD, MSCE, FAAD Guest: Michael S. Garshick, MD Inflammatory skin diseases like psoriasis don’t just affect the skin—they can often reflect broader cardiovascular risks. Given the overlap between dermatology and cardiology, knowing how to spot warning signs early and what steps to take during routine visits is key to comprehensive care. Joining Dr. Mary Cheeley to discuss the connection between the skin and the heart are Drs. Joel Gelfand and Michael Garshick. Dr. Gelfand is a dermatologist at the University of Pennsylvania and the Director of the Psoriasis and Phototherapy Treatment Center and the Center for Clinical Sciences in Dermatology. Dr. Garshick is a cardiologist and the Director of the Cardio-Rheumatology Program at NYU Langone Health, as well as an Assistant Professor of Medicine and Dermatology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine.

Guest: Børge G. Nordestgaard, MD, DMSc Guest: Kausik Ray, MBChB, MD, MPhil There is an unmet need for patients with FCS, SHTG, and mixed hyperlipidemia, as most patients are non-responsive to current standard of care. Recent developments on APOC3 inhibition show promising results for the management of these patient groups. Four experts discuss the characteristics, diagnostic criteria and the risks of patients with FCS, SHTG, and mixed hyperlipidemia, and review the recent evidence of clinical trials with new APOC3 inhibitors.
