The American College of Cardiology (ACC), in collaboration with Novo Nordisk A/S, today announced a new global program to support improvements in multidisciplinary care for people with Type 2 diabetes. Through the global UNITE (Multidisciplinary Teams In Cardiometabolic Care) program, clinicians across multiple specialties will receive the education and tools needed for an integrated approach to Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease care. Despite advances in care, people with Type 2 diabetes continue to face a higher risk of death and disability from cardiovascular disease, said Athena Poppas, MD, FACC, ACC president. New strategies for managing this complex disease are needed. Through UNITE, we re meeting that need by providing guidance and tools that can be easily integrated into day-to-day clinical practice to optimize cardiovascular risk through treatment pathways and collaborative management of comorbidities.

Persisting side-effects weeks or months after Covid-19 infection are taking a heavy toll on some patients, making their return to normality a battle. Current estimates are that 10% of those infected will have prolonged recoveries.
Typical long-Covid symptoms include fatigue, shortness of breath, brain fog, and lightheadedness or dizziness when standing up.
Looking into the last symptom specifically, a team of American College of Cardiology researchers have found that dizziness is actually consistent with a diagnosis of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) – a common, but under-recognised condition that causes an abnormal increase in heart rate and is most commonly known for causing dizziness when standing up.
Consultant cardiologist Dr Richard Ishmael is the new chair of the Barbados Accreditation Council.
Dr Ishmael, who is a director of Cardiovascular Diagnostics Inc. and Interventional Radiology and Cardiology Inc. at Bracebridge Medical Centre, brings several decades of leadership and corporate governance experience as he takes up his new position.
In 1993, he pioneered the development of the Cardiac Catheterisation and Open Heart Surgical Programmes at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, and served as the first head of the Department of Cardiovascular Services as well as director of the Cardiac Catheterisation Laboratory. He is Immediate Past President of The Caribbean Cardiac Society and was also Governor of the Caribbean Chapter of The American College of Cardiology.
