The American College of Cardiology Scientific Session on MACRA
The American College of Cardiology recently held the 65th Annual Scientific Session and Expo, where several sessions focused on the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA). During the session it was clear that CMS's intention was to only accept ACO's that accept risk in the APM model payments. Piecing Together the MACRA Puzzle One session, entitled Piecing Together the MACRA Puzzle, was hosted by Robert Furno, Nancy Foster, and Harold Miller. This session started out with a broad overview of the MACRA program, followed by a presentation on how hospitals are preparing for MACRA, and then a presentat...

The Tangled Hospital-Physician Relationship
By GOLDSMITH, KAUFMAN and BURNS Together, hospital and physician services account for more than half of national health spending. In its 2014 National Health Expenditures estimates, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ actuaries make the hospital (nearly $1 trillion) and physician practice (nearly $600 billion) sectors appear to be independent and non-overlapping. This is an optical illusion. Hospitals and physicians are, in day-to-day practice, hopelessly intertwined. And while power appears to be shifting from physicians to hospitals with the increasing salaried employment of physicians, appearances can be d...

Understanding Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act of 2015 (MACRA), Merit-Based Incentive Payment System (MIPS) and Alternative Payment Models (APM’s)
Discussion MACRA enshrines the concept of value vs. volume and a seismic shift from fee for service to value based payments. There will be tremendous need for education for today's clinicians to further understand MACRA and all its ramifications. Big questions need to be answered such as what the rule will look like, what does it mean to bear more than nominal financial risk, what will be included in value, will MIPS Meaningful Use, PQRS and Value Based Modifiers be similar to the current system . Fortunately, there will be opportunities to let your voice be heard on this very important program.    &#...

TechTool Thursday 067 MedShr
TechTool review – MedShr by MedShr Ltd on Android and iOS…and website MedShr is a private social network for doctors. It aims to allow the sharing of interesting patients including photos/videos. Members can discuss their cases and ask for suggestions from others. It aims to help improve clinical practice and facilitate learning and the sharing of patient data in a secure environment. The website gives no information about who runs MedShr (a bug bear of mine) but I know from speaking to them that it was created initially by a Cardiologist in the UK. I think they have brought in other UK clinicians to help edit...

Short-selling Private Practice
By KAREN SIBERT, MD Today is a remarkable day for me. I’m officially leaving private practice after almost 18 years, to return to academic medicine with a faculty position in a highly regarded California department of anesthesiology. Why would I do that? There are many positive reasons. I believe in the teaching mission of academic medicine:  to train the anesthesiologists of the future, and the scientists who will advance medical care. I enjoy teaching. The years I’ve spent at the head of the operating room table, anesthetizing patients every day, have given me a great deal of hands-on experience (and at least some ...

Research and Reviews in the Fastlane 119
This study examines the dose-relationship of oxygen therapy and infarct size assess by biomarkers. Excluding hypoxic patients and those with cardiogenic shocks 441 patients with STEMI were randomized to oxygen or room air. Every 100 L increase in oxygen exposure in the first 12 h was associated with significantly increased cTnI and CK of 1,4% and 1,2% respectively. As the median supplemental oxygen exposure was 1746 L this would result in a 21% increase in infarct size. Recommended by: Soren Rudolph Quirky, weird and wonderful Wood CD et al. Evaluation of sixteen anti-motion sickness drugs under controlled laborato...

DM / DNB Cardiology Entrance Mock Test 8
This study found that though it is often associated with coronary artery disease (CAD), it can also occur in those without significant CAD. It was not specifically associated with disease of right coronary artery disease. This cardioinhibitory response may be a manifestation of the Bezold-Jarisch reflex. Bezold-Jarisch reflex inhibits sympathetic activity (sympathetic withdrawal) and increases parasympathetic activity, resulting in bradycardia, which may be associated with vasodilatation, nausea and hypotension. Bezold-Jarisch has been described in the setting of inferior wall infarction and coronary angiography. Origin...

This study provides validation of that approach. Although the study was retrospective and only included 45 patients with acute coronary occlusion, it provides valuable information on the utility of ST elevation/S wave ratio for diagnosis of acute MI in this subset of patients.

LITFL R&R – Best of 2015
This article is one more piece of the mounting evidence demonstrating a clear call to change what is the usual care in many  institutions in the U.S. Stop the madness! Chest pain is tough — it’s the second most ED common chief complaint, and it scares the heck out of us and our patients – partially because missed MI is one one of the top causes of litigation. But we also see a ton of resources spent on a terribly low yield from chest pain workups. This new study in JAMA-IM including Mike Weinstock (of Bounceback fame), Scott Weingart and David Newman looked at the bad outcomes of patients with normal ECG...

This article raises the question of how important MIC is and whether we should be developing and testing alternate ways to assess antibiotic efficacy.

Atrial septal defect (ASD)
Illustrated Review with ECG, CXR, Echo Video, Cath Images X-ray chest in atrial septal defect X-ray chest PA view in atrial septal defect with pulmonary hypertension (Click on the image for an enlarged view) The main pulmonary artery (MPA) is grossly dilated. The right pulmonary artery (RPA) is also quite enlarged. Right atrial enlargement is seen as a shift of the cardiac contour to the right of the spine. Pulmonary vascularity is increased and prominent end on vessels (End on) are also seen. Apex is upwards, suggesting a right ventricular configuration. All features suggest a large secundum atrial septal defect with a l...
