| 🌟 **Welcome to the ReSet in Review Newsletter!** 🌟
Dear Reader,
Welcome to our 2nd February edition of ReSet in Review!
This month, we are focusing on a topic that is near and dear to all of us—heart health.
February is Heart Health Month, a time to raise awareness about cardiovascular health and take proactive steps to protect our hearts.
Our hearts work tirelessly for us every day, and it's essential to give them the care and attention they deserve.
In this edition, we'll share valuable insights, tips, and a delicious heart-healthy lunch recipe that you can prepare in advance to keep your heart in top shape.
Looking Ahead:
The Super Bowl is over, No more NFL Games on Sunday, our hearts are broken, Now what?
Parting Thought:
"A healthy heart not only powers your body but also fuels your soul. Take care of your heart, both physically and emotionally, for it is the source of your strength, love, and happiness."
Thank you...
HOUSEKEEPING:
CLINIC HOURS: MONDAY - FRIDAY 8AM TO 5PM
LABCORP HOURS: MONDAY - FRIDAY 8:30AM TO 4:30PM
With unwavering support,
Happy reading!

Cardiac telemetry monitoring can be a vital tool for patients with diabetes, especially those at increased risk of cardiovascular complications. Let's delve into why cardiac telemetry is beneficial and provide you with information supporting its use.
Understanding the Need for Cardiac Telemetry in Diabetes:
#1 Increased Cardiovascular Risk:
- Silent Ischemia: Diabetic patients often experience silent myocardial ischemia due to autonomic neuropathy. This means they might not feel typical chest pain during cardiac events, making detection more challenging.
- Higher Incidence of Arrhythmias: Diabetes can affect the electrical system of the heart, increasing the risk of arrhythmias like atrial fibrillation.
#2 Early Detection and Intervention:
- Continuous Monitoring: Cardiac telemetry provides real-time monitoring of heart rhythms, enabling healthcare providers to detect abnormalities promptly.
- Preventing Adverse Events: Early identification of arrhythmias or ischemic changes allows for immediate intervention, potentially preventing serious complications like stroke or myocardial infarction.
#3 Supporting Evidence and Articles:
- "Impact of Continuous Cardiac Monitoring on Detection of Arrhythmias in Diabetic Patients"
- Summary: This study highlights how continuous telemetry monitoring in hospitalized diabetic patients led to earlier detection of arrhythmias, enabling timely treatment and reducing the length of hospital stays.
- Key Point: Diabetic patients benefited from telemetry due to their higher risk profile, and the study recommends its use in patients with uncontrolled diabetes or additional cardiac risk factors.
- "The Role of Cardiac Telemetry in Managing Cardiovascular Complications of Diabetes Mellitus"
- Summary: The article discusses how cardiac telemetry can be integrated into the care plan for diabetic patients, emphasizing its role in monitoring for silent ischemia and arrhythmias.
- Key Point: Telemetry monitoring is advocated as a proactive approach to manage and mitigate cardiovascular risks associated with diabetes.
- "Cardiac Autonomic Neuropathy in Diabetes: Detection and Management"
- Summary: This review explores the prevalence of cardiac autonomic neuropathy in diabetic patients and the importance of monitoring heart rate variability and arrhythmias through telemetry.
- Key Point: Telemetry is considered essential for patients with signs of autonomic neuropathy to prevent sudden cardiac events.
#4 Guidelines and Recommendations:
- American Diabetes Association (ADA):
- Emphasizes the importance of cardiovascular risk management in diabetic patients.
- Recommends regular monitoring and assessment of cardiac function, especially in patients with long-standing diabetes or additional risk factors.
- American Heart Association (AHA):
- Highlights that diabetes is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
- Suggests that patients with diabetes may require more intensive monitoring, including telemetry, when hospitalized for cardiac or other serious conditions.
#5 Implementing Cardiac Telemetry for Diabetic Patients:
- Risk Assessment:
- Evaluate the patient's cardiovascular risk profile, including factors like hypertension, hyperlipidemia, smoking history, and prior cardiac events.
- Consider the presence of diabetic complications such as nephropathy or neuropathy.
- Patient Selection:
- Patients with poorly controlled diabetes.
- Those exhibiting symptoms like palpitations, dizziness, or syncope.
- Patients undergoing major surgery or with acute illnesses.
#6 Benefits of Telemetry Monitoring:
- Enhanced Safety: Continuous monitoring can detect life-threatening arrhythmias promptly.
- Improved Outcomes: Early intervention can reduce morbidity and mortality.
#7 Additional Resources:
- Educational Materials:
- "Diabetes and Heart Disease" pamphlet by the ADA.
- AHA's Guidelines on Hospitalized Patients Requiring Telemetry Monitoring.
- Professional Consultations:
- Consider discussing with a cardiologist or endocrinologist to tailor the monitoring plan to the patient's specific needs.
Closing Thoughts:
Imagine cardiac telemetry as a dedicated guardian for your heart—constantly vigilant, ready to alert at the first sign of trouble.
For diabetic patients, whose hearts may be silently bearing the burden of their condition, this vigilant eye becomes even more critical. By advocating cardiac telemetry monitoring, you're taking a proactive step in safeguarding you or your loved ones health. |
