×Send us a text A groundbreaking innovation is making waves for the approximate six million Americans who suffer with atrial fibrillation (AFib). It’s called pulsed field ablation. In our latest podcast episode, host Debra Schindler talks with Dr. Sunjeet Sidhu, a renowned cardiac electrophysiologist at MedStar Health, to explore the intricacies and benefits of this safer, faster, cutting-edge treatment. The number of those suffering with AFib, may even be an underestimate, but statistics show they are steadily increasing due to factors such as an aging population and the obesity epidemic. Traditionally, AFIB treatment involved thermal ablation methods, which, although effective, posed risks of collateral damage to surrounding tissues. Enter pulsed field ablation, a technique that uses ultra-short electrical pulses to target and destroy abnormal heart tissue without harming nearby structures. This method is not only safer but also more efficient, reducing procedure times significantly. Dr. Sidhu explains how pulsed field ablation works by creating a scar tissue barrier, effectively isolating the problematic areas of the heart that trigger AFIB. Unlike thermal ablation, which relies on heating or freezing tissues, pulsed field ablation uses electroporation to disrupt cell membranes, leading to cell death and scar formation. The heart cells are particularly sensitive to this type of injury, allowing for precise targeting without affecting surrounding tissues. The benefits of pulsed field ablation are manifold. Patients experience shorter procedure times, reduced anesthesia exposure, and fewer complications. Dr. Sidhu shares his firsthand experiences, noting a significant improvement in patient outcomes and satisfaction. He recounts a heartwarming story of a young mother who, after undergoing the procedure, was able to regain her quality of life and engage in activities with her children without the debilitating effects of AFIB.

Send us a text Foot pain is a common issue that many of us face at some point in our lives. While plantar fasciitis is often the culprit, there's another- probably under-reported condition that deserves attention: plantar fibromatosis, also known as Ledderhose disease. In our latest podcast episode, Debra Schindler takes a dive deep into this lesser-known condition with MedStar Health podiatric foot and ankle surgeon, Dr. Paul Carroll. Plantar fibromatosis affects approximately 200,000 people in the United States and is characterized by the growth of fibromas—benign nodules—on the plantar fascia, the thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot. Unlike plantar fasciitis, which typically causes heel pain that improves throughout the day, plantar fibromatosis presents as a constant pain in the middle part of the foot. Patients often describe feeling a pea-sized bump on the bottom of their foot, which can become painful as it grows. Dr. Carroll explains that while this condition is generally benign, it can be quite painful and debilitating if left untreated. The demographic most affected includes males, diabetics, individuals with chronic alcohol use, and those who have experienced trauma to the foot. Interestingly, there is also a significant correlation between plantar fibromatosis and Dupuytren's contracture, a condition affecting the hands. So, what should you do if you suspect you have plantar fibromatosis? Dr. Carroll advises seeking medical attention as soon as you notice any unusual bumps or persistent pain in your foot. Early diagnosis can help manage the condition more effectively and may prevent it from worsening. While there are several treatment options available, including conservative measures like custom orthotics and steroid injections, surgical options are often considered when other treatments fail. However, surgery comes with its own set of challenges, including a high recurrence rate of the fibromas. One of the more promising treatments discussed in the episode is the use of hyaluronidase injections, which help to shrink and soften the fibromas, making them less symptomatic. Dr. Carroll shares his experiences and success stories with this treatment, providing hope for those suffering from this condition. If you're experiencing unexplained foot pain or have noticed a bump on the bottom of your foot, don't ignore it. Tune in to our latest episode with Dr. Paul Carroll to learn more about plantar fibromatosis, its symptoms, and the various treatment options available. Your foot health is essential, and early intervention can make all the difference. Listen to the full episode now and take the first step towards better foot health!

Send us a text Electrophysiologist Dr. Richard Jones, of the MedStar Heart and Vascular Institute, talks about symptoms and treatment for the full spectrum of the most common form of cardiac arrythmia: atrial fibrillation. Are you feeling a flutter in your chest, or maybe your smartwatch is signaling an irregular heartbeat? It's time to tune in to your heart's health because atrial fibrillation (AFib) is not just a condition for the textbooks—it's a growing concern for millions. In the latest episode of 'MedStarHealth Doc Talk,' we sit down with Dr. Richard Jones, an electrophysiologist from the MedStar Heart and Vascular Institute, to delve into the intricacies of AFib. With a projected 30% increase in cases every two decades, understanding AFib has never been more critical. AFib is the most common type of serious heart rhythm abnormality in adults. When the heart's upper chambers quiver chaotically, they fail to pump blood effectively, leading to symptoms like palpitations, fatigue, and potentially life-threatening strokes. But what's more alarming is that some individuals with AFib might not feel any symptoms at all, making them ticking time bombs for stroke risks. Dr. Jones explains how new guidelines by the American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association are categorizing AFib and recommending best practices for treatment. These guidelines emphasize the importance of early intervention and the role of lifestyle changes in managing AFib. The episode also highlights the latest advancements in treatment, such as catheter ablation—a procedure that targets the heart's electrical misfires to prevent AFib episodes. Dr. Jones shares that while this isn't a cure, it's a significant step forward in managing the condition and improving quality of life.
