Tina Luberto discusses resiliency, mental health and how to live your best life. Exercise for adults with congenital heart disease poses many unique challenges. In this presentation from July 20, , Dr. Doreen DeFaria Yeh reviews the specific medical issues that develop among children and adults born with a complex congenital heart condition called tetralogy of Fallot.
Not even a global pandemic, with all its difficult diversions and delays, could stop the nurses of Ellison 9 from staying on track with a project timeline they had set before the COVID outbreak. The Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Center at the Massachusetts General Hospital Corrigan Minehan Heart Center takes a prevention-as-treatment approach to caring for the heart and overall cardiovascular system.

Overview: Prevention as Treatment The Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Center at the Massachusetts General Hospital Corrigan Minehan Heart Center provides a unique, prevention-as-treatment approach for patients who have heart disease or who are at risk for developing heart disease.
Our specialists aim to: Prevent a recurrence of symptoms and ensure the safe recovery of individuals who have experienced a heart attack or other symptoms of coronary artery disease secondary prevention. Prevent cardiovascular disease among men and women without symptoms, but whose family history, physical condition and other factors place them at higher risk for developing coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, or diabetes mellitus type 2 primary prevention.
Interpret novel imaging and laboratory tests, including those directly available to patients such as coronary artery calcium scoring, polygenic risk scoring, and metrics from consumer wearable devices. Educate patients on how to best prevent heart disease from developing or worsening. Conduct research to probe the genetic basis of cardiometabolic disease and improve preventive measures. Conduct research to use remote monitoring and smartphone applications to improve preventive measures.
Train a new generation of preventive cardiology specialists. Conditions We Treat Coronary artery disease, including heart attack and angina Congestive heart failure Obesity, Metabolic syndrome, and Diabetes mellitus Coronary artery calcification Pseudoxanthoma elasticum High blood pressure High cholesterol, including familial hypercholesterolemia High triglycerides High lipoprotein a High C-reactive protein High coronary artery disease polygenic risk score Blood cancer precursors linked to cardiovascular disease, including clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential CHIP , clonal cytopenia of undetermined significance CCUS , and myelodysplastic syndrome MDS Specialized Programs: Supporting Lifestyle Changes to Reduce Risk Specialists within the Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Center at Mass General work with encourage patients to make lifestyle changes to reduce the risk of developing heart disease or prevent existing conditions from becoming worse.
These programs assist patients in their recovery from heart attack, angioplasty and cardiac surgery and counsel them on how to make the required lifestyle changes to prevent recurrence. Tina Luberto discusses resiliency, mental health and how to live your best life.

Home - Heart Center The Cardiovascular Performance Program offers specialized cardiac care for athletes, including leading treatments for suspected or confirmed heart disease, detailed pre-participation safety screenings and exercise assessments.
Contact Information. Explore This Treatment Program. Determining Sports Eligibility Many high school and collegiate sports require cardiac screening assessments and consultations prior to participation. Using advanced diagnostic techniques such as cardiac MRI and CT scanning, clinicians evaluate for the specific clinical conditions most relevant to athletes: Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, a disease in which the structure of the heart is abnormal, resulting in irregular heart rhythms Coronary anomalies Heart valve diseases Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, where the heart muscle thickens abnormally Inherited arrhythmias, which lead to irregular heartbeats Screening results can stop athletes from playing sports their entire lives, so our clinicians consult with the entire multidisciplinary team before making recommendations about participation risk.
One Call Coordinates Care Our dedicated nurse coordinator is available Monday through Friday from am to pm to take relevant information about your condition and make a timely appointment with our team.
Referring a Patient If you are a physician and would like to refer your patient to the CPP, please call Advancing Sports Performance Through Research The CPP is a leader in the field of sports cardiology research with more than 90 peer-reviewed publications focused on the clinical care and related physiology of the athletic patient.
Studies have focused on: Using novel echocardiographic techniques to study the cardiac remodeling that occurs in response to exercise training Evaluating ideal methods for pre-participation screening in athletes Identifying the most common causes of cardiac arrest during long-distance running races Examining the cardiac and metabolic adaptations that can occur in response to marathon training Harvard Athlete Initiative HAI The CPP faculty have developed a collaborative research relationship with the Harvard University Department of Athletics to provide a platform for the study of competitive athletes.

Request an appointment Find a provider The goal of this rotation is to provide CPP fellows with ample exposure to develop the skills necessary to become a competent clinical sports cardiologist.
This is accomplished by providing fellows with the opportunity to perform supervised assessment of athletes with symptoms suggestive of cardiovascular disease. The CPP fellow will be provided with both didactic and hands-on research experience designed to facilitate the development of the skill set required to be an independent clinician-scientist.
Fellows will meet two to three times a month with one or more of the CPP faculty to design, implement and report independent research. Fellows are expected to present original research at national meetings and generate first-author publications of original scientific research. Pre-participation cardiovascular disease screening PPS for athletes is one of the fundamental responsibilities of a sports cardiologist.
CPP faculty members routinely organize, oversee and coordinate PPS sessions for many of our local university and professional teams and athletic clubs. The goal of this rotation is to provide CPP fellows with the knowledge base and skill sets necessary to independently execute high-quality PPS programs.
The CPP has developed a comprehensive advanced exercise testing program designed to meet the diagnostic needs of athletes and active individuals. Advanced exercise testing provides CPP fellows with hands-on experience designing, conducting and interpreting advanced exercise protocols. The Mass General Cardiovascular Performance Program has emerged as a leader in the field of sports cardiology research, with more than 80 peer-reviewed publications focused on the clinical care and related physiology of the athletic patient.
CPP faculty members currently hold research funding from:. Education in research methodology and performance of independent research are core goals of the CPP Fellowship.
As described in the curriculum section, CPP fellows will be exposed to both didactic and hands-on research experience designed to facilitate the development of the skill set required to be an independent clinician-scientist.
Fellows will learn grant-writing skills and are expected to present original research at national meetings and generate first-author publications of original scientific research. To apply, please submit a CV, personal statement and at least two letters of reference from a clinical and research supervisor who know the applicant well.
