0.39 -> I'm an advanced heart
failure cardiologist.
2.94 -> I love bringing some organization
and order into chaos,
8.22 -> and I found heart failure
is one such entity
12.87 -> where it's not just cardiology,
15.72 -> you look at a patient as a whole.
17.01 -> It's a holistic medicine
18.27 -> that covers advanced
heart failure cardiology,
21.33 -> and which also includes
me referring patients
24.51 -> for heart pumps like LVAD or a transplant
28.8 -> if they're appropriate candidates.
30.57 -> We have a lot of geriatric population,
32.79 -> and I do have an expertise
36.3 -> in taking care of that population as well.
38.43 -> Physician's touch is still the priority,
41.49 -> and that gives us a lot
of information that starts
44.04 -> from the patient's vital
signs like blood pressure,
46.86 -> heart rate, assessing their fluid status,
49.892 -> and then we integrate those information
52.8 -> with all the test information
54.51 -> that we get to manage their care.
57.36 -> And we have a lot of treatments
59.16 -> evolving on a day-to-day
basis in cardiology.
62.04 -> Most of the patients
that are referred to me
63.93 -> are more complex, and so it
might take more than a visit
68.43 -> to come to a full strategic plan.
71.61 -> I try to answer the immediate need,
74.64 -> and if any additional
test needs to be done
77.07 -> then we get that done as well
to come up with a short-term
80.25 -> and a long-term plan for them.
81.9 -> I work with patients
in the hospital setting
86.1 -> as well as in the outpatient setting,
88.5 -> and it's nice when I
see them in the hospital
91.35 -> because when I see them in the outpatient,
93.63 -> they're a different person,
95.13 -> and I do continue to take
care of them as long as,
98.19 -> you know, they need my help.
99.27 -> I saw that medicine was a way
101.82 -> that I could make a difference
in the lives of patients
104.97 -> or people for that matter.
107.07 -> I'm a people person,
108.18 -> and I love to make a
difference in the community.
