Duke Heart week ending February 26th 2023

Highlights of the week:

Wrapping Up Heart Month

Thanks to everyone who helped celebrate Heart Month by spreading awareness about heart disease, how to prevent it, and how to successfully manage it! Thanks especially to each and every team member for all you are doing as a contributor to the great work being done throughout Duke Heart!

This past week, on Tuesday, Feb. 21, Nishant Shah, MD, presented on a topic he’s passionate about — heart disease prevention. He’s a believer in getting these messages out at critical times and what better time than in the early learning years? Shah had a fully engaged and captivated audience of children at All Starz Children’s Academy in Cary. He dressed in scrubs and his white lab coat for presentations throughout the day to about 166 preschoolers about how the heart works and how to live a heart-healthy lifestyle.

“We went through pictures of heart anatomy, talked about important fruits and vegetables to keep the heart healthy, did some stretches and exercise, and learned about the importance of a good night’s sleep for heart health,” said Shah. “In the afternoon the kids got to do some coloring of a picture of real human heart as well. It certainly is never too early to talk about cardiovascular disease prevention and Heart Month is a great time to kick off the conversation! Primordial prevention for the win!”

Shah brought stethoscopes and disposable surgical caps with him so that not only could the kids “dress up” by wearing the bonnets, they could listen to their own heartbeat.

“They loved it and it was great to see the excitement on their faces,” Shah added.

Melissa Brown, a director at All Starz Academy concurred.

“When Dr. Shah mentioned that February was Heart Month and that he was interested in presenting to our kids, we thought it was a fantastic idea,” she said. “It was a huge hit. Dr. Shah did a great job balancing information with activity — he had them dress up with surgical caps, and they did some physical activities like jumping jacks. His presentation was very well designed for the ages of kids we have here. The younger ones, of course, their attention span is less but they still enjoyed it. We’d repeat this again in years to come, just because it was such a big hit with them.”

Brown said the enthusiasm lasted all week long. “From what I’ve overheard the kids talking about, I think the biggest thing they took away is excitement about healthy eating and how it makes the heart grow big and strong — and that when the heart is big and strong, you’re a healthier human. They picked up important information about how to keep their bodies healthy. I heard our kids saying things like, ‘if I eat these my heart is going to get big and strong’ and also ‘things like this are not good for me to eat.’ They definitely were paying attention!”

The Academy has typically had professional police officers, firefighters, and dentists come in to see the kids and do demonstrations – but never a cardiologist. Brown said they were thrilled to showcase Heart Month this way and would welcome further opportunities.

Way to go, Nishant! Here are some great photos from his day at All Starz Children’s Academy.

 

On Wednesday evening, Manesh Patel was the invited presenter by the Triangle American Heart Association to give a “Deep Dive” on the major science news that came out of the 2022 AHA Scientific Sessions, which allowed him to also discuss some important research our Duke Heart team is working on. The Zoom session was held by our local AHA for their Board members. Also invited to participate were members of our Heart Center Leadership Council and members of our Patient & Family Advisory Council. The presentation was followed by a number of great questions from the audience!

Concluding the week, we received a terrific annual recap of the many successes of our Duke Electrophysiology team from Jonathan Piccini, MD, including these stats:

For calendar year 2022, the Duke EP Team performed:

  • 6644 in-person device interrogations
  • 5% increase from 2021
  • 18,761 remote device interrogations
  • 13% increase from 2021
  • 1233 device implants at Duke University Hospital
  • 12% increase from 2021
  • 1192 EP study/ablation procedures at Duke University Hospital
  • 11% increase from 2021
  • 749 AF ablations in the Duke University Health System
  • 12% increase from 2021
  • 44 left atrial appendage closure procedures at Duke University Hospital
  • 150+ lead extraction procedures at Duke University Hospital
  • >10% increase from 2021

Incredible numbers from a stellar team! We look forward to sharing many more of their accomplishments!

Newly Published Book Features Chapter by Duke APPs

Three of our APPs are co-authors of chapters in the newly published Textbook for the Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (published by Springer Publishing). Stephanie Barnes, Callie Tennyson, and Jaime McDermott wrote the chapters on Acute Coronary Syndromes and Heart Failure.

“Nearly 100 expert authors who discuss the evidence-based gold standards for diagnostics and tests for optimal detection of multisystem disorders, patient management, and transitions of care. In these chapters, learners will gain a greater understanding of the etiology and pathophysiology of acute and critical illnesses, and the latest in advanced pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic therapies… We congratulate the Editors and chapter authors for their efforts in developing a clearly outlined and accurate text for AGACNP use—truly the first of its kind.”

We love that the expertise of our Duke Heart nurse practitioners is highly sought after! Congratulations, Steph, Callie and Jaime!!!

ICYMI: Thomas Featured in Klotman’s Friday Message

Cardiac Electrophysiologist Kevin Thomas, MD, vice dean for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion and Chief Diversity Officer was interviewed recently by Duke School of Medicine Dean Mary Klotman, MD for one of her weekly Friday messages (Feb. 10, 2023) — this one in celebration of Black History Month. It’s definitely worth checking out! https://duke.is/wd5x5

 

 

 

 

 

Partial Heart Transplant Featured in ABC Drama

One of the storylines in Thursday night’s episode of Grey’s Anatomy (9 p.m., ABC) featured a partial heart transplant. The only two such procedures completed to date have both taken place at Duke University Hospital. The procedure was pioneered at Duke by pediatric cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Joseph Turek and his team. The writers and producers of Grey’s Anatomy reached out to Dr. Turek for his input in order to assure medical accuracy in their script as well as the imagery they planned to use.

Cool work, Joe!

Kudos to All Cardiology Fellows

A tremendous shout-out to each one of our cardiology fellows for their understanding, patience and compassion this week after a bit of a snafu with the paging system. One of the nurses in the Duke Birthing Center accidently paged the entire team instead of the fellow on-call, and to her great surprise, everyone reacted with kindness. (We are not surprise by this, of course!)

In a note she sent to Toi Spates and shared with Cary Ward, she wrote:

“First, I would like to say that each interaction I have had with you, Toi, has been incredibly professional, polite, and educational. Your team has shown incredible respect towards our triage nursing team, and we do appreciate that. Your patience does not go unnoticed.

Today, we received a call from the clinic alerting us that they were sending a patient who was very concerning to them. We never know how concerned we should be until we see that patient in person. [In preparing for a consult,] I mistakenly sent out a page to the wrong group. When I realized what I had done, my heart sank, and the phone started ringing. I held my breath to prepare to apologize and take the heat, but it never came. Every single provider who returned my page, (within five minutes or less) was kind, understanding, and half of them even offered to help me! Some offered to help me find the correct pager number, others asked who I specifically was looking for, and another asked for the MRN in order to be prepared to assist us in the event that no one was available. I could not answer the phone fast enough. With each call, I waited for the reprimand that never came. I wanted to provide a BIG THANK YOU! Also, I am so pleasantly surprised by how I was treated today.” – a grateful nurse

What a great reminder that kindness is always welcome and that you can always, always make someone’s day better as a result. GREAT JOB!!

 

Kudos to Osude!

In a note from Fawaz Alenezi, MD to Anna Lisa Chamis, MD this week, we received a great shout-out for Dr. Kiki Osude!  Photo

“Kiki made my day very easy. We had 10 TEEs and 2 CVs. I really appreciate her professional work.” — Fawaz

 

Shout-out to Loriaux!

We received some nice feedback this week on Dan Loriaux via messages Anna Lisa Chamis received from both the Neuro ICU AND from the SICU.  (photo)

In an email from Shreyansh Shah, MD, of the Neuro ICU, we heard “This week as we celebrate contributions of our GME trainees to patient care, education and research, I wanted to share this special kudos from the Neuro ICU team for a very impressive Critical Care fellow, Dr. Daniel Loriaux who our team got to work with this past month.

Over the last month, Daniel has received multiple kudos from his team members, Neuro ICU nursing staff, and patient’s family members for his kind demeanor, his patient-centric care, his collaborative nature, and for creating an environment of trust during his time in the Neuro ICU. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with him and we wish him all the best!”

And, “I had the pleasure of working with Dan Loriaux this past week in the SICU. I was impressed with his knowledge base, kindness, compassion, and procedural skills. He was constantly wanting to learn more throughout the week, was always happy to teach residents and APPs, and has some of the better ultrasound/procedural skills I’ve seen from any fellow I’ve worked with at Duke. More importantly, he seems like a good person and listened closely to all team members whenever concerns were expressed. He has a rare combination of humbleness and skill. Happy to speak to either of you more to help facilitate this young man’s career however I can.”Nitin Mehdiratta, MD, critical care anesthesiologist and medical director of the Duke SICU.

Reminder: Future Relocation of DUH Unit 7100 for Renovations

As most of you know, Duke University Hospital’s bed tower 100 is in the process of being renovated. Unit 7100 will be relocated to Duke North 2200 (a 16-bed unit) and 3200 (also a 16-bed unit) in April.

These units were selected for their close proximity to one another and to other Heart units; the provision of 32 beds for Cardiology patients; and, for being move-in ready after recent renovations. 7201-7208 will close as the Hospital Surge Unit, and the eight Emergency Department admit hold patients will relocate from 2200 to this area.

The exact dates for closing 7201-7208 and relocating 7100 will be communicated once we have firm dates identified. There will be no change in the patient population we will care for on units 2200/3200.
