  • Moving the Needle: Clinical Strategies focusing on Controlling LDL-C

    Moving the Needle: Clinical Strategies focusing on Controlling LDL-C
    Jun 23 2025
    In this episode of CardiaCast, Drs. Erin Michos and Joseph Saseen discuss the underuse of lipid-lowering therapies in patients with cardiovascular risk, despite strong evidence and updated guidelines. They highlight the role of bempedoic acid as a non-statin option, especially for statin-intolerant patients. The conversation emphasizes team-based care, shared decision-making, and strategies to navigate insurance barriers to improve LDL-C management. This podcast is part of Bempedoic Acid: New Evidence Transforming the LDL-C Treatment Landscape grant initiative. Educational grant support is provided by Esperion.

  • Conversations in Heart Failure “Extrapolate with Caution: A STEMI Shock Reality Check”

    Conversations in Heart Failure “Extrapolate with Caution: A STEMI Shock Reality Check”
    Jun 6 2025
    In this episode, Drs. Jenna Skowronski, Francesco Castagna and Saraschandra Vallabhajosyula unpack how assumptions drawn from ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) data may be leading us astray in broader shock management—and what that means for patient outcomes, clinical decision-making, and future research. Why do we keep applying STEMI solutions to non-STEMI problems? Are we oversimplifying cardiogenic shock? And what does the real-world data actually tell us? Join us for a candid, fast-paced conversation that challenges dogma, calls for nuance, and might just change the way you approach shock. Related References: Møller JE, Engstrøm T, Jensen LO, et al.
