NIC is recommending rapid tests for endometriosis. A saliva test and a sensor pad...so the nearly decade-long wait to do exploratory surgery to confirm what the patient has been telling us the whole time might finally be over.

We cover this and more on the new Medlines episode.

[Human Content Inc @HumanContentInc]

Staying current in medicine shouldn't require an evening of doom scrolling. Starting today, it doesn't.

We're proud to debut #Medlines, a new weekly #healthcarenews podcast hosted by @DGlaucomflecken @AlokPatelMD @adjoro & Eva Johnson.

New episodes Friday | YT & pod platforms

Meet #NCSDspeaker Kristin @LGlaucomflecken. Kristin is the cofounder of Glaucomflecken LLC and known online as “Lady Glaucomflecken,” offers a powerful perspective as a co-survivor of her husband’s two cancer battles and sudden cardiac arrest – all before age 35.

Grateful to have spoken to Kristin Flanary ⁦@LGlaucomflecken⁩ about “co-survivors”: the often-unheard partners who support patients & who are invaluable therapeutic allies but have their own value & stories to share

“Melatonin—> 90% ⬆️ risk for heart failure!? “
🤯
Not so fast.

This is an ABSTRACT using TriNetX data- would be super careful in saying patients are “matched” - this is an ASSOCIATION that is wrought with residual confounding. Patients with insomnia may be at higher risk - by virtue of what? We don’t know…paper has not been published yet.

I have been asked about this study several times ( covered widely by the press) - by colleagues and patients! Anyone else?

Highlight of #AHA25 🚨Meeting @LGlaucomflecken in person. We were both co-authors on the @AHAScience scientific statement, "Patient-Centered Adult #Cardiovascular Care". We talked about co-survivorship. Missing @DGlaucomflecken

@sacagarw @3CPRCouncil @DrSamanthaF Great to see you!

We need billing codes that facilitate support for caregivers by someone within the care team.

❤️ Caregiver Burden, Health-Related Quality of Life, and Psychological Well-Being
🎤 Martha Abshire Saylor

Resilience requires a multilevel approach. Think of caregiver burden as a sign that the resilience structures of families are being overwhelmed.

#AHA25

[Lady Glaucomflecken (she/her) @LGlaucomflecken]

Caregiver preparedness can improve both patient and caregiver depression and quality of life.

AHA Statement:
- Make it systematic to identify caregiver s within your practice
- Educate them on care needs they will need to provide
- Know when they are at their limit

#AHA25

[Lady Glaucomflecken (she/her) @LGlaucomflecken]

CARE, an evidence-based framework:

4 themes for caregiver interventions:
- Caregiver-centered
- Active engagement
- Reflection and reinforcement
- Education

But we need much more research! (N.B. Hint, hint, pretty please!)

❤️ Interventions to Support Caregivers of Patients with Heart Disease to Promote Healthy Behaviors and Cardiovascular Health
🎤 Miyeon Jung

There’s a need for interventions targeted for caregivers.

#AHA25

[Lady Glaucomflecken (she/her) @LGlaucomflecken]

Gaps/future directions:
- What intervention components would result in better outcomes?
- Paucity of intervention descriptions
- Limited number of targeted interventions for caregivers own health
- Currently more dyadic interventions vs caregiver-only interventions
