HEARTSENSE has recently presented research at the American College of Cardiology 2025 international congress that has revealed that using incidence data to predict prevalence in underserved populations may be problematic. A significant proportion of individuals that actually have undiagnosed disease in underserved communities, do not present to a physician with expertise until they develop heart failure! We submit that it is imperative to consider re-evaluating our current paradigm for diagnosing structural heart disease in these communities to include portable, inexpensive, artificial intelligence technology, such as digital auscultation. .

As a cardiothoracic surgeon deeply involved in groundbreaking research, I am proud to co-author our latest study comparing Transcarotid and Transaxillary access for Aortic Valve Replacement using self-expanding valves, which was recently published in JTCVS Techniques. These findings could redefine cardiac care standards, enhancing patient outcomes and pushing the field’s innovation boundaries. A special thank you to Keith B. Allen MD, Daniel Watson MD, Amit N. Vora MD, Paul Mahoney MD, Adnan K. Chhatriwalla MD, Jonathan G. Schwartz MD, Nishtha Sodhi MD, Daniel Haugan MS, Michael Caskey MD and Medtronic.

🏈 Back to School = Back to Sports

High School Sports Season Tip: Heart Health Matters

As we kick off another season of high school athletics, here’s your friendly reminder: cardiac health is just as important as any practice or playbook.

Sudden cardiac events in youth athletes are rare—but when they happen, they can be devastating.

💡 Did you know?
The risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in high school athletes is estimated at 1 in 300,000 per year. Most cases are linked to undiagnosed genetic or congenital heart conditions, like cardiomyopathies or electrical disorders.

HeartSense Key Takeaways:
✅ Awareness saves lives – Don’t ignore fainting, chest pain, or shortness of breath.
✅ Get screened – Pre-participation physical exams (PPE) should include heart evaluations.
✅ Be prepared – AEDs (defibrillators) and trained staff can mean the difference between life and loss.

🫀 Move More, Stress Less, Live Longer
Your heart loves movement—and it doesn’t take a marathon to make a difference.

🚶‍♂️ A brisk 20-minute walk each day can:
✅ Lower blood pressure
✅ Improve circulation
✅ Reduce stress and anxiety
✅ Boost your energy and mood
✅ Protect against heart disease and stroke

Whether you’re walking your dog, dancing in the kitchen, or taking the stairs—every step counts.

Did you know today is National Relaxation Day?

Established to promote taking time out for yourself, National Relaxation Day is more than just an excuse to unwind—it’s a powerful reminder that rest is essential to overall health.

At HeartSense, we see firsthand how chronic stress contributes to heart disease—especially in underserved communities where access to care and relief is limited.

Stress affects:

🫀 Blood pressure

💓 Heart rate

🧠 Mental health

😴 Sleep quality

This , we encourage you to make space for stillness. Whether it’s a walk in the park, 15 minutes of breathing exercises, journaling, or simply unplugging—your body and heart will benefit.

💬 What’s your favorite way to relax and recharge?
