In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Pediheart Podcast Replay of #227: Cardiac MRI Computational Fluid Dynamics Assessment And Relation To Quality Of Life In The Fontan Patient 35:21

14 дней назад35:21

35:21

This week we step back in time 3 years ago to review an important cardiac MRI report on Fontan geometry and hemodynamics as measured by computational fluid dynamic analysis. How do factors like Fontan geometry or 'power loss' relate to quality of life for the Fontan young adult patient? How do these data inform imaging in the operating room during these palliations? We speak with the first author of this work, Associate Professor of Pediatrics at U. Penn, Dr. Laura Mercer-Rosa about this important and intriguing work. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.athoracsur.2022.01.017…

Pediheart Podcast #330: Can Early Postoperative Transverse Aortic Arch Dimension Following Coarctation Surgery Predict Late Hypertension? 30:06

21 день назад30:06

30:06

This week we review a work from the department of cardiology and department of cardiac surgery at Boston Children's Hospital on late hypertension in patients following coarctation repair. Late hypertension has been associated previously with late transverse aortic arch Z score but can this be predicted by the immediate postoperative transverse aortic arch Z score also? What factors account for late hypertension in the coarctation patient? Should more patients have their aorta repaired from a sternotomy? Dr. Sanam Safi-Rasmussen, who is a PhD candidate at Copenhagen University, shares her insights from a work she performed while a research fellow at Boston Children's Hospital.

Pediheart Podcast #329: Does Preoperative Oral Feeding For Newborns With CHD Reduce The Need For Tube Feedings After Surgery? 21:24

28 дней назад21:24

21:24

This week we delve into the world of cardiovascular surgery and general cardiology when we review a recent report from UVA on the topic of feeding around the time of neonatal heart surgery. Does preoperative oral feeding improve the chances for 'tube-free' enteral feeds at discharge after heart surgery in small infants? Why might oral feedings improve the chances of discharge oral feedings? How should clinicians think about the known benefits of early CHD surgery for some CHD lesions with the benefits of oral feedings? Dr. Aseel Dabbagh of Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City shares her insights into these and other questions. DOI: 10.1007/s00246-024-03750-z…

This week we review a recent ACTION NETWORK project comparing outcomes of children with CHD who undergo VAD support in comparison to those children with VAD's who do not have CHD. How do morbidity and mortality rates compare between these two cohorts? Why might there be differences in outcomes between these two groups? How are heart failure and transplant cardiologists going to improve outcomes in complex CHD VAD patients in the future? How can all cardiologists make more timely referrals to heart failure and transplant cardiologists for their congenital heart patients?

Pediheart Podcast #327: Long-Term Outcomes Of The Ross Procedure In The Newborn And Infant 33:51

7 weeks назад33:51

33:51

This week we delve into the world of cardiovascular surgery when we review a recent multicenter ("Ross Collaborative") study of long term outcomes of the Ross procedure in newborns and infants. How durable of a repair is this in this young age range? How does the neo-aortic root grow with time? Why might the neo-aorta not dilate in this age group as much as is reported in older patients following the Ross procedure? Who is a candidate for this approach? How are decisions made between aortic valve repair and Ross procedure? Professor David Winlaw who is director of cardiovascular surgery at Lurie Children's Hospital/Northwestern University joins the podcast this week to discuss the results of this multicenter work on this topic of which he is the senior author.

This week we review a recent report that asks the question, 'Do all infants who present with SVT require preventive anti-arrhythmic medical therapy?' Who might be a candidate for not using an anti-arrhythmia medication in infancy? What sort of parental education is needed to potentially not use medicine and how do patients not treated compare to those who were treated with anti-arrhythmics in regards to re-admission or presentation to the emergency department or development of tachycardia induced cardiomyopathy? How should parents assess their infants for SVT at home? How long should infants be monitored prior to discharge to home after a single uncomplicated episode of SVT?

This week to conclude 2024 we speak with noted investment expert Mr. Paul Merriman to discuss a few topics related to personal finance and investing. First we tackle the notion of having 'enough' to retire. Is there a magic value and how would one think about this? Why is an S&P 500 Index or Total US Stock Market Index a fine 'core' investment and how might one possibly improve upon its performance? What are some of the psychological hurdles we have as investors and potential retirees? Mr. Merriman reviews these and other topics on our end of year episode.

This week we delve into the world of adult congenital heart disease to review the topic of liver disease in the Fontan patient and specifically, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). What is the prevalence of this disease in the Fontan single ventricle adult patient? How effective are scores like the MELD-XI or Fibrosis-4 Index at identification of HCC in the Fontan patient? How should the Fontan adult patient be surveilled for this form of cancer? What evidence is there that earlier identification of HCC is associated with better outcomes? What may prove to be the most important factor in protection of the liver in the Fontan patient? Dr. Yuli Kim, Director of the ACHD program at The University of Pennsylvania shares her deep insights this week into this important topic. DOI: 10.1093/eurheartj/ehad788…
