About a quarter of all atrial fibrillation (AF) patients at the lowest risk for stroke receive unnecessary blood thinners from cardiology specialists, according to UCSF researchers, and these providers must be made aware of the resulting potential health risks. Their research letter appears online and will be in the June 1 issue of JAMA Internal Medicine. "The irony is that there is a general push to get providers to prescribe these drugs, and they are also generally under-prescribed among many AF patients who actually need them," said senior author Gregory Marcus, MD, MAS, director of clinical research in the UCSF Division of Cardiology. "Our study suggests people are trying to do the right thing but, due to a lack of understanding of some of the critical nuances, go too far in that direction in low-risk patients." In AF, electrical impulses are triggered from many areas in and around the upper chambers (atria) of the heart instead of just one area. This activity is chaotic, and the atrial walls quiver rather than contract normally in moving blood to the lower chambers (ventricles). For atrial fibrillation patients at risk for thromboembolism, anticoagulation therapies with warfarin or other drugs reduce morbidity and mortality. … Continue reading →

The 70-year-old Dr. Watkins, the first black chief resident of cardiac surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital, was known as much for fighting the injustice faced by African-Americans as for his groundbreaking medical work. "Levi was a son of the South who was birthed in the middle of segregationist America and the middle of a civil rights movement and became somebody who defied the limits of the expectations of him," said former Rep. Kweisi Mfume, who first met Dr. Watkins in the 1980s on a picket line calling for better treatment of African-Americans in the criminal justice system. Dr. Watkins was outspoken yet humble, those who knew him said. He never took his success for granted and worked tirelessly to help create the next generation of African-American doctors and activists. He became the first to put an automatic defibrillator in a human heart in 1980 at a time he was also fighting to diversify the medical staff and student ranks at Hopkins. Dr. Watkins was one of the … Continue reading →
