He points out that very few medical centers in the country, MUSC being among them, have had significant use of these stents.

Interventional neuroradiologist Dr. Aquilla “Quill” Turk describes the presenting symptoms of an acute stroke, noting the importance and benefits of receiving immediate medical care. He indicates that MUSC is the only hospital in South Carolina equipped to offer the full gambit of treatment options. This includes advanced imaging devices to help triage patients as well as endovascular techniques for blood clot removal even after the critical time period for basic clot breakup has lapsed.

Dr. Aquilla “Quill” Turk, a radiologist specializing in neuroradiologic treatment, talks about the importance of a team approach for treating disorders of blood vessels in the brain. He describes how the team of doctors at MUSC works as a unit to offer the best care from a variety of disciplines. Dr. Turk elucidates some of the treatment options for handling problems with blood vessels in the brain and also touches on post-operative care.

Dr. Aquilla “Quill” Turk, an interventional neuroradiologist, provides an overview of brain aneurysms and describes ways in which patients present with this medical condition. He also explains different methods of treatment based upon the nature of the aneurysm itself as well as the age of the patient. Dr. Turk elaborates on the endovascular coiling procedure, a neuroradiologic treatment, and compares this with the more traditional surgical clipping method.

Dr. John Freedy, a family medicine doctor with his PhD in psychology, discusses the relation between depression and heart and vascular disease, explaining that depression in early adulthood increases the risk of heart disease later in life as well as the likelihood of complication after a heart attack. Dr. Freedy offers different possibilities for the underlying link between the depression and cardiovascular disease in this heart disease podcast.

Dr. Maria Lopes-Virella, an expert in diabetes and lipidology, discusses desirable levels of various lipids in the body, including HDL, LDL, vLDL, and triglycerides. She explains how these numbers vary from individual to individual. In addition to hypercholesterolemia – high cholesterol – she explains some of the other risk factors for cardiovascular disease, including diabetes, depression, stress, and lack of exercise in this heart podcast.

Persons with severe heart failure may benefit from cardiac resynchronization therapy, or CRT. A biventricular pacemaker is the device that is implanted to provide this therapy, which synchronizes the pumping of the right and left lower chambers (ventricles) of the heart. Cardiologist, Dr. Michael Gold, explains how the pacemaker works, how it’s installed, the minimal follow up requirements and the advances in technology of the pacemaker.

Heart Podcast: Only 1 out of 100 people will survive cardiac arrest at home, whereas 99 people out of 100 people with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) will survive cardiac arrest in the home. Cardiologist, Dr. Michael Gold, talks about the history of the device, explains the mechanics of it and the procedure to install the defibrillator. Dr. Gold also discussed the added benefits of having an ICD and the long-term reliability in this heart podcast.

In the United States, 1 person a minute goes into cardiac arrest. Dr. Michael Gold, Director of the Division of Cardiology, explains the terms cardiac arrest and “sudden cardiac death.” Dr. Gold identifies who is at risk, how medications are used to reduce the risk of cardiac arrest and also discusses implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) and automated external defibrillators (AED.)

Results from Dr. Dana King’s clinical research project, “Turning Back the Clock: Adopting a Healthy Lifestyle in Middle Age,” clearly show that adapting new healthy habits will reduce ones risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality.

Dr. Dana King, professor of family medicine, talks about the results from his clinical research study titled, "Turning Back the Clock: Adopting a Healthy Lifestyle in Middle Age". The study, covered in this health news podcast, followed 16,000 people between the ages of 45-64 over a six year period to determine if there was health benefits associated with following four healthy lifestyles: diet, exercise, maintain a healthy weight and not smoking. Dr. King explained that for those that followed all 4 habits they were able to experience a prompt benefit of lower rates of cardiovascular disease and mortality. This is one of many health news podcasts provided by MUSC.
