Coronary Calcium Scoring

Coronary Calcium Scoring

00:00 /

The statistics are sobering. Heart disease remains the nation’s leading killer for adults > 35 yrs. Consider these statistics: 1) every 29 seconds an American has a heart attack 2) every 60 seconds and American dies from a heart attack 3) for men and women, 50% or greater of those that have a heart attack had no prior symptoms and their first one was death. Heart disease comes about over years or even decades. There is now technology available that is 99% effective in either confirming or ruling out coronary heart disease with less radiation than one would get exposed to on an airplane flight! “Virtual exams” of our internal organs are now a reality due to advances in medical imaging technology. However, imaging does not provide direct outcomes for the patient- but the information these tests can provide can lead to changes that can decrease heart disease risk factors, potentially reverse damage, and save lives.

This segment will discuss a very specific screening test for coronary heart disease: the Coronary Calcium Scoring test or as some people have heard, “The Heart Scan.” Coronary arteries do not normally have calcium. Calcified plaque in coronary arteries is a leading indicator of heart disease. Using non-invasive, low dose radiation CT scan that takes about 15-20 minutes, patients and providers can now obtain critical cardiac information that can be used post test and in comparison’s over time, to minimize risk and take proactive steps in the maintenance of good heart health or the management of heart disease. The test is most beneficial as a screening tool for patients NOT yet diagnosed with heart disease. Scans are taken of the heart and the results are compared to a scoring system that is measured by a range of no cardiac disease, minimally present, moderately present, extensively present or high risk requiring medical intervention. Information is shared with the patient and their medical provider post test and the patient can return to normal activities when the scan is completed.

In this segment, board-certified preventive cardiologist, Jason Reingold and Dan McGeown, CEO of Virtual Imaging will educate the listeners on the testing methods, patients who benefit most, the scoring system and post test results and what do do about them.

Paving the Way for Advances in Alzheimer’s: Susie Brown at Star Neuroscience Foundation

Paving the Way for Advances in Alzheimer's: Susie Brown at Star Neuroscience Foundation

00:00 /

Susie Brown tells us that her parents called her a “late bloomer”. Originally from Mississippi, she didn’t start her college career until she was 30. After earning a degree from Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississippi, she went on to Wichita State University, earning a graduate degree in Healthcare Administration. This was just the first of many moves! Initially, she went back to Mississippi to work with a small United Way organization. From there, she went on to Kankakee, Illinois, Utica, New York, Somerville, New Jersey, then to Tennessee then to New York City. After spending 20 years with the United Way, she then took a job with the Urban League in New York. Whew!

More recently, Susie felt compelled to come to Atlanta to help her sister care for their mother, who had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. She had tried to fly down to Atlanta a number of times for interviews, but always seemed to lose out to the “local candidate”. It was at that point that Susie decided to become the “local candidate”, and moved here. In June, 2011, she took on the role of Executive Director of the Star NeuroScience Foundation. This organization is the brainchild of Dr. Marshall Nash, of NeuroStudies.net. His vision was to create an organization that would help raise awareness of the value of clinical research as part of a physician’s regular practice. Why? Because the more physicians that incorporate clinical research, and the more patients that participate in the studies, the quicker some of the new drugs can make it to the market and benefit those who so desperately need it. Susie notes that it can take up to 15 years, and $1 billion to bring a drug to market. NSF’s goal is to try to help reduce both the time and cost to put these new drugs in the hands of patients.

For more information about Star NeuroScience Foundation, check out their website at www.NSFoundation.net, call Susie directly at (404) 824-2040 or come to their Networking Mixer at F&B Atlanta next Tuesday after work. F&B Atlanta is located at 3630 Peachtree Rd NE, and the eent will start at 6pm and last until 8 pm.

We want to thank Griswold Home Care for sponsoring today’s show. Griswold Home Care has been a preferred provider of high quality, affordable in-home senior care in Atlanta for more than 20 years.
