Episode Details

CardioNerds (Dr. Daniel Ambinder, Dr. Giselle Suero Abreu, Dr. Kahtan Fadah, and Dr. Colin Blumenthal) discuss arrhythmias in CardioOncology with Dr. Michael Fradley.

In this episode, Dr. Michael Fradley joins us in the CardioNerds CardioOncology clinic where he uses his unique dual training in cardio-oncology and electrophysiology to walk us through the complex interplay and management of these disorders. We discuss the incidence and pathophysiology of these arrhythmias, including the link with various cancer treatments, screening and detection, and complex management including rate vs rhythm control in atrial fibrillation, need for anticoagulation, effects on the QTc and so much more. Given the unique challenges with this population we also delve into how this affects their oncology care and how to approach changes to their cancer treatment.

Show notes were drafted by Dr. Kahtan Fadah and episode audio was edited by student Dr. Tina Reddy.

This episode is supported by a grant from Pfizer Inc.
