  • The Hidden Heart Crisis: Managing Right Ventricular Failure with Dr. Ryan Tedford

    The Hidden Heart Crisis: Managing Right Ventricular Failure with Dr. Ryan Tedford
    Nov 7 2025
    In this episode, Dr. Anthony Carnicelli sits down with Dr. Ryan Tedford, a top expert on right ventricular (RV) failure, to break down everything you need to know about this tricky condition. RV failure happens when the right side of the heart struggles to pump properly, messing with blood flow through the lungs and raising pressure in the veins. It shows up in a bunch of serious illnesses like pulmonary hypertension, left heart failure, and sepsis.Dr. Tedford walks us through how to spot RV failure using key measurements from right heart catheterization, like right atrial pressure and the pulmonary artery pulsatility index (PAPi).He also shares a simple, practical approach to managing RV failure: avoid overloading the heart with fluids, lower the pressure, the right heart has to pump against with pulmonary vasodilators, and boost its strength with inotropes like dobutamine. And when things get really serious, mechanical support might be needed. The good news? The right ventricle is pretty resilient, and with the right care, patients can bounce back.Key TakeawaysRV failure is a clinical syndrome due to dysfunction in any part of the right heart circulatory system, not just the RV itself.Don't skip hemodynamics: Right heart cath data is essential to distinguish RV from LV failure and guide therapy.Afterload reduction strategies include managing left-sided filling pressures and careful ventilator settings (avoid high PEEP and hyperinflation).The RV is more resilient than we think with the right therapy, recovery is often possible, even in severe cases.In This Episode[00:00] Introduction[01:39] Defining right ventricular failure[02:14] Importance of the right heart in critical care[03:57] Role of hemodynamic evaluation[04:12] Key hemodynamic metrics for RV failure[05:19] Echo vs. hemodynamics in RV failure[08:01] Treatment strategies: preload, afterload, and contractility[10:04] Avoiding hypotension and ischemia[11:16] Stepwise vs. immediate mechanical support[12:07] Prognosis and recovery of RV failure[13:50] Closing remarks and takeawaysNotable Quotes[02:02] "Although the RV is one of the biggest and perhaps most important components of the right heart circulatory system, actually any part of the right heart circulatory system can contribute to overall right heart failure." — Dr. Ryan Tedford[02:43] "If you go back, you know, 30 years or 80 years, in fact, the right heart has been largely ignored." — Dr. Ryan Tedford[04:04] "A comprehensive hemodynamic evaluation is really key. And I would say you really can't get it right without the right heart catheterization." — Dr. Ryan TedfordDr. Ryan TedfordDr. Tedford is a Professor of Medicine/Cardiology and holds the Dr. Peter C. Gazes Endowed Chair in Heart Failure at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC).

  • Post-Cath Instability: Rapid Evaluation and Management in the ICU

    Post-Cath Instability: Rapid Evaluation and Management in the ICU
    Oct 3 2025
    What do you do when a patient returns from the cath lab hypotensive and unstable? In this episode of SoCCC Pre-Rounds, critical care cardiologists Dr. Ann Gage and Dr. Zach Il'Giovine join host Dr. Elliott Miller to break down the management of post-catheterization hypotensive emergencies. This conversation delves into rapid assessment, differential diagnosis, and life-saving interventions in the acute care setting.The experts emphasize the importance of taking a moment to gather context before rushing to the bedside. Was it a PCI, EP study, or structural intervention? This pause allows for a more focused differential diagnosis, covering complications such as vascular issues (groin hematoma, retroperitoneal bleed), cardiac tamponade, and acute stent thrombosis. A standout takeaway: manual pressure is your first-line tool for managing bleeding, and don’t hesitate to call the proceduralist early. They also highlight when to order a CT scan (pro-tip: non-contrast first) and the principles behind massive transfusion protocols.This episode offers actionable insights for handling hypotensive emergencies with confidence and precision. Key TakeawaysBuild a differential based on the cath details: arterial, venous, pericardial?Retroperitoneal bleed is high on the list for sudden post-cath hypertension.First move: Is the patient in extremis? If yes, act. If not, think.Groin pain or back pain? Start with pressure and basic labs.For massive bleeds: use balanced transfusions and proper IV access.Most important treatment for groin bleeds? Manual pressure.In This Episode[00:00] Introduction[00:56] Meet the guests: Dr. Ann Gage and Zach Il'Giovine[02:09] Gathering info before seeing post-cath patient[03:46] Building the differential diagnosis[08:13] Physical exam and bedside assessment[09:57] Hemodynamic assessment and initial workup[16:00] Massive hemorrhage and transfusion protocols[17:05] Procedural complications and communication[19:55] Manual pressure crucial for groin bleeds[21:11] Conclusion and take-home messagesNotable Quotes[04:06] "I was told once by a medicine resident that if you were a good resident, you would have two or three things on your differential, but if you were great, you would appear at the bedside with at least 10 things on your differential." — Dr. Ann[00:13:55] "Nothing really makes me madder than coming in the morning and seeing that the residents gave contrast to ten people, when if you've got a hemodynamically significant bleed, you do not need contrast." — Dr. Elliott[00:20:53] "On more than one occasion, manual pressure has saved lives." — Dr. Zach Dr. Ann GageDr. Ann Gage is a critical care and interventional cardiologist at Centennial Heart in Nashville.

  • The Basics of ECMO with Dr. Jason Katz

    The Basics of ECMO with Dr. Jason Katz
    Sep 5 2025
    In this episode of SoCCC Pre-Rounds, Dr. Simon Parlow sits down with Dr. Jason Katz, advanced heart failure and transplant cardiologist, critical care leader, and president of the Society of Critical Care Cardiology, to dive into the real-world challenges of managing VA ECMO at the bedside.ECMO can be life-saving, but it’s also one of the most complex tools in the ICU. Dr. Katz breaks down what every trainee needs to know: the difference between VV and VA ECMO, when and how to decide who’s a candidate, and why every cannulation must come with an “exit strategy.” He shares practical insights on navigating the first critical days, staying vigilant for complications like Harlequin syndrome, and when left ventricular venting makes sense.If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the idea of managing a patient on VA ECMO, this episode gives you a clear, practical roadmap so you feel more prepared the next time you see an ECMO consult roll into the CICU.Key TakeawaysThe difference between VV and VA ECMO and why VA supports both the heart and lungs.Classic indications for VA ECMO: when to consider it for refractory cardiogenic shock or cardiac arrest.How to decide if your patient has a viable exit strategy, bridge to recovery, bridge to transplant, or bridge to decision.Harlequin syndrome (differential hypoxemia): What it is, how to detect it, and what to do about it.Pearls on left ventricular venting and unloading: when to consider a balloon pump, Impella, or atrial septostomy.Why multi-disciplinary shock teams are essential for real-time ECMO decision-making.In This Episode[00:00:00] Introduction [00:00:45] Episode sponsor & guest introduction [00:01:57] Defining and differentiating VV and VA ECMO [00:04:47] Indications and patient selection for VA ECMO [00:06:49] VA ECMO as a bridge and contraindications [00:10:02] Early management and complications of VA ECMO [00:14:14] Differential hypoxemia (Harlequin syndrome) [00:18:18] Left ventricular venting and unloading [00:22:34] Episode wrap-up and closing Notable Quotes[05:28] "If there's one thing that is consistent about places that are using VA ECMO is that there is no consistency." — Dr. Jason Katz[10:18] "You need to think about how you're going to get off the device, again, whether you're hoping for recovery or it's a bridge to an exit strategy like durable VAD or transplantation." — Dr. Jason Katz[13:48] "Transplantation as an exit strategy. But again, the longer these patients are on these devices, the ECMO is certainly the case. But for every temporary MCS device, the longer they're on these devices, the higher their risk for getting one of these complications." — Dr. Jason Katz[19:40] "Everything that unloads the heart or unloads the left ventricle is going to vent the left ventricle, but not everything that vents the left heart will necessarily unload or reduce the myocardial oxygen consumption." — Dr. Jason KatzDr. Jason KatzAssociate Chief of Cardiology, Bellevue Hospital; Program Director for Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Fellowship, NYU; President, Society of Critical Care Cardiology.
