Cardiology Consultations
My 70 year old female patient with history of hypertension and hyperlipidemia is scheduled to undergo an elective cholecystectomy. She is a nonsmoker and exercises 5 days a week for 30 minutes. Does she need any further noninvasive cardiac testing in addition to an electrocardiogram (ECG)?

Getting a Leg Up on P.A.D.
Advancements for Treating Peripheral Arterial Disease
An aging population and an obesity epidemic are increasing the threat of peripheral arterial disease in America. Yet, even though this serious vascular condition already affects about 8 million people, three out of four respondents surveyed in 2007 didn’t know what it is, much less how to avoid it, according to the national P.A.D. Coalition.

Meritless Malpractice Lawsuits Exact Psychological Toll
While tort reform is the primary front in the war waged by the medical profession against skyrocketing liability premiums, curtailing so-called frivolous lawsuits is another tactic that’s gaining ground and garnering support in statehouses and courtrooms nationwide.

Nemours to Get New Orlando Children’s Hospital Area Pediatricians Leery
Nemours unveiled a new $3 million Orlando children’s clinic in January, a month after announcing plans to purchase land for a $400 million children’s hospital in the Lake Nona area of Orlando.
State regulators awarded permission to build the new hospital after two failed attempts at a certificate of need over the past three years. The latest denial came in December 2006 for a site near the Mall at Millenia.

Physician Spotlight: Dr. Connie Micklavzina
Dr. Connie Micklavzina remembers her first delivery as a physician like it was yesterday.
“I had to ride on a stretcher down a long hallway and up an elevator, shouting ‘pa pousse,’ which I was told meant ‘don’t push.’ Unfortunately, the elevator was not an express and as the doors opened two floors down from the labor floor, I delivered her baby in full view of a dozen lay spectators,” Micklavzina said. “They shouted and clapped for me, so maybe the glamour and attention drew me into the specialty.”
