Getting to the Heart of Sleep Health: Defining and Evaluating Sleep Health
In this informative podcast Drs. Dayna Johnson, Anne Fink and Konrad Sawicki discuss the implications of sleep for our cardiovascular health and how, at a population level, sleep quality, or lack of it, is a public health concern.
Listen and learn from experts in sleep health on the definition and evaluation of sleep health.
Editor's note: The researchers in this podcast discuss sleep issues among African Americans, based largely on the language used in previous studies. However, this discussion also pertains to Black Americans who are not of African descent or do not identify as African American.

Opioid-Associated Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: Resuscitation Guidelines
Elizabeth H. Dineen, DO, Eric J. Lavonas, MD, MS and Aaron M. Orkin, MD, MSC, MPH discuss the guidelines and rationale for dealing with respiratory and cardiac arrest when opioids are suspected, emphasizing the crucial role naloxone plays in restarting respiration, the steps to take in different emergency scenarios, and why carrying naloxone can potentially save lives.

Opioid-Associated Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: Pathophysiology
Elizabeth H. Dineen, DO and Eric J. Lavonas, MD, MS discuss how opioid-related cardiac arrest cases differ from typical cardiac arrests, emphasizing the role of asphyxiation and the impact on brain lactate levels and pH. Highlighting the difference in outcomes between sudden cardiac arrest, those caused by opioid poisoning, and the challenges in resuscitation and reperfusion.

Opioid-Associated Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: Overview
 Elizabeth H. Dineen, DO and Cameron Dezfulian, MD discuss how opioid-related cardiac arrests differ from traditional cardiac arrests and how they are changing demographics of affected patients. Focusing on the unique challenges in responding to these emergencies, the isolated nature of opioid use, leading to unwitnessed or unreported incidents and the distinct pathophysiology of respiratory depression due to opioid poisoning.

Opioid-Associated Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest: Distinguishing Between Opioid Overdose and Cardiac Arrest
Cameron Dezfulian, MD and Aaron M. Orkin, MD, MSC, MPH discuss the challenges in distinguishing severe opioid overdose from actual cardiac arrest in pre-hospital settings, the dichotomy of patient outcomes—those who can be resuscitated with naloxone and rescue breaths, versus those who progress to full-on cardiac arrest, the implications for clinical outcomes and guideline development.
