Advances in hospital-based monitoring, analysis and responsiveness
Steven Nissen, MD talks with Daniel Cantillon, MD , staff electrophysiologist and Medical Director for Cleveland Clinic’s Central Monitoring Unit about advanced approaches to telemetry monitoring for hospitalized patients. Dr. Cantillon leads a large central monitoring unit with sophisticated technology and risk stratification tools, triage algorithms and protocols and a well-trained staff. Dr. Cantillon and Dr. Nissen discuss the factors measured, what goes into the algorithms and how this type of technology can prevent emergency events – or allow for treatment before an emergency event occurs; as well as hopes for future technology and research.

Long Term Outcomes after Aortic Valve Surgery in Patients with Aortic Regurgitation
Cleveland Clinic cardiologist Dr. Milind Desai discusses a paper published in JACC Imaging studying 865 patients who underwent aortic valve surgery with severe aortic regurgitation. Baseline ejection fraction and LV strain were studied pre-procedure and post procedure to look at the impact of these values and overall mortality. Dr. Desai discusses the findings of the study and implications for future evaluation of patients with aortic regurgitation. Study can be reviewed in JACC Imaging,
