The Division of Cardiology’s Deepak Acharya, MD, MSPH, presents in the latest Banner Health podcast — Making the Rounds — kicking off a series of informational talks on the theme, “Failure is not an option,” covering cardiovascular disease and heart failure.
An associate professor in the Department of Medicine and at the Sarver Heart Center, Dr. Acharya’s topic is: “Early diagnosis is the key for cardiovascular disease.” Click here to listen.
Banner’s Making the Rounds podcasts have been airing on Spotify since 2021, and vary from 10 to 30 minutes in length. These are not to be confused with the American Medical Association’s Making the Rounds podcasts on Apple Podcasts.
Prior Banner Making the Rounds podcasts include topics such as “Surgical management of melanoma,” “Importance of sunscreen and sun protection,” “Endometrial cancer: The most diagnosed gynecologic cancer,” “What is lymphedema, its symptoms, causes and treatment?,” “What your patients feet may be telling you.”
Dr. Acharya’s podcast is 17:30 minutes long.
In it, he points out that nearly half of all Americans are at risk for cardiovascular and heart disease according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Each type of heart disease has its own set of symptoms and treatment options, and many of those options have advanced greatly in recent years.
Dr. Acharya, who also is program director of the Interventional Cardiology Fellowship, specializes in advanced heart failure, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, acute and durable mechanical circulatory support, cardiogenic shock, cardiac catheterization, percutaneous coronary intervention, structural heart interventions and pulmonary hypertension.
With the return of students this fall to UArizona, Making the Rounds listeners can expect to hear a podcast with cardiologist Aadhavi Sridharan, MD, on Electrophysiology and how to keep your heart rhythms healthy.
