Key takeaways

  • Part 1 : Prevention and Screening - the first 3 episodes emphasize the value of implementing biomarker-based screening and real-world evidence to improve early heart failure prevention and cardiometabolic risk assessment in both specific high-risk groups and the general population
  • Part 2: Diagnosis - two episodes on diagnosis highlight the critical importance of making heart failure diagnostic tools accessible to both non-specialists and in primary care settings to enable earlier diagnosis and intervention
  • Part 3: Implementation - the final two episodes of the series address the practical challenges and strategies involved in implementing new guidelines and protocols, such as STRONG-HF and the ESC rapid 0/1h algorithm, to accelerate adoption in clinical practice

Podcast series on the newest advancements in the management of cardiometabolic diseases

Welcome to the proCardio podcast series by Roche, offering an overview of advancements in the prevention, screening, diagnosis, and implementation strategies for cardiometabolic disease management

Featuring interviews with leading clinicians, the series covers critical topics including insights on cardiac biomarkers' use from real-world evidence, translating heart failure guidelines into practice, enabling early diagnosis, and discussing innovative trials.

Join the host Konstantin Schmidt, Scientific Communications Manager at Roche Diagnostics, as he engages with the brightest minds in the field to bring you 7 episodes, packed with expert insights and practical knowledge to help enhance clinical care for cardiometabolic diseases.

Prevention and Screening

Real world evidence and opportunities for early intervention in heart failure

Real world evidence and opportunities for early intervention in heart failure for people living with diabetes

Interview with Dr. Safia Chatur on the importance of real world evidence and what it tells us about the use of biomarkers (such as natriuretic peptides) in clinical routine for heart failure identification in people living with diabetes.

Implementation of NT-proBNP based screening for heart failure prevention in people with diabetes

Implementation of NT-proBNP based screening for heart failure prevention in people with diabetes

Interview with Dr. Rodica Pop-Busui on her extensive experience in implementing a heart failure screening program in a university network, translating guideline recommendation into clinical care.

Value of Troponins in Predicting Cardiovascular Disease Risk in the General Population

Value of Troponins in Predicting Cardiovascular Disease Risk in the General Population

Interview with Dr. Raphael Twerenbold on cardiometabolic risk assessment in the general population. Current standard of care and its limitations are explored along with the advantages of incorporating biomarkers in existing protocols.

Diagnostics

Early diagnosis of heart failure in primary care

Early diagnosis of heart failure in primary care

Interview with Dr. Antoni Bayes-Genis on enabling early diagnosis of heart failure, the implementation of practical algorithms using NT-proBNP in different settings, and the role point of care plays in the process.

Accessibility to heart failure diagnostic tools for non-specialists: the SYMPHONY trial

Accessibility to heart failure diagnostic tools for non-specialists: the SYMPHONY trial

Interview with Dr. Mark Petrie focused on the SYMPHONY trial, creating evidence in support of providing non-specialists with diagnostic tools for early identification of heart failure.

Implementation

Implementation of the STRONG-HF protocol in clinical practice in the UK

Implementation of the STRONG-HF protocol in clinical practice in the UK

Interview with Dr. Lisa Anderson, in which she provides updates on the recent implementation of the guideline-recommended STRONG-HF protocol in practice in the UK.

Barriers to implementation rapid ESC algorithms for triaging patients suspected of ACS

Barriers to implementation rapid ESC algorithms for triaging patients suspected of ACS

Interview with Dr. Kirsten Aakre exploring some of the underlying reasons for the relatively slow uptake of the ESC 0/1h algorithm in clinical practice and discussing potential strategies to accelerate its implementation.
