The online nominations process – located at www.castleconnolly.com/nominations – is open to all licensed physicians in America who are able to nominate physicians in any medical specialty and in any part of the country, as well as indicate whether the nominated physicians is, in their opinion, among the best in their region in their medical specialty or among the best in the nation in their medical specialty. Once nominated, Castle Connolly’s physician-led team of researchers follow a rigorous screening process to select top doctors on both the national and regional levels.

Heart Disease

Heart disease can refer to a number of heart conditions, with the most common being coronary artery disease. Unfortunately, many conditions do not have any symptoms before a heart attack happens. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, alcohol consumption, obesity, unhealthy diet, and a lack of physical activity can contribute to heart disease.

Dr. Christopher Thompson, an interventional cardiologist with Lake Charles Memorial Health System, said many people also misinterpret symptoms of a heart attack, which can lead to fatal consequences.

“Unfortunately, a lot of people dismiss their symptoms as reflux or indigestion,” Dr. Thompson said. “Even if they feel out of breath, they’ll dismiss it as being out of shape.”

So how can people find a balance of being heart safe while not rushing to the emergency room every time they experience heartburn? Dr. Thompson said to be aware of new symptoms. If you experience a different type of chest pain or shortness of breath, see a doctor immediately.

Dr. Thompson said it is also important to remember that a heart attack can present with a wide variety of symptoms. One person’s symptoms may not mirror another person’s symptoms. Some people never experience chest pain; they only experience a feeling of tightness. Some people have shoulder pain or a pain between the shoulder blades.

“Talk to your doctor. Don’t make assumptions,” Dr. Thompson said.

It is also important to be aware of your family history because a family history of heart disease greatly increases your risk. If your father had a heart attack in his 50s, you should speak to a cardiologist in your 40s (10 years before your relative had a heart attack).

If you have diabetes or high blood pressure, it’s critical to see a doctor to help you keep these conditions under control.

Regular physical activity is important. Dr. Thompson said people should find something they enjoy doing, something that will be easy for them to stick with. It doesn’t have to be high intensity.

“If you can walk 30 minutes a day five days a week, that’s awesome,” Dr. Thompson said. – by Fritz Esker

 

Cancer

There are obviously many forms of cancer that vary wildly in terms of severity. According to 2021 stats from the American Cancer Society, the cancer with the most new cases in 2021 in Louisiana was breast cancer, which was also the cancer with the third most deaths in Louisiana in 2021. Lung and bronchus cancer caused the most Louisiana deaths in 2021 and was the third most common cancer in terms of new cases.

What can an Acadianian do to reduce their risk for cancer? The first step is to quit smoking or never start smoking.

Dr. Jay Brooks, the section chief of hematology/oncology at Ochsner Medical Center Baton Rouge, said one in three cancers of any type are directly linked to smoking. For lung cancer, that becomes a much higher number.

“Tobacco accounts for 90 out of 100 lung cancer cases,” Dr. Brooks said. “5 out of 100 are from secondhand smoke and 5 out of 100 have no link to smoking.”

Dr. Brooks said smoking has dramatically decreased in Louisiana in recent years, but noted that percentage of Louisianians who smoke is still higher than the national average (21% compared to 14%).

It’s one thing for a person to know they should quit smoking. Unfortunately, actually quitting is a far more difficult task than simply acknowledging it’s an unhealthy habit that contributes to a number of terrible health outcomes. Dr. Brooks said it takes the average person 11 attempts before they are able to successfully quit smoking. People should not be afraid to seek professional help when trying to quit tobacco. Ochsner offers smoking cessation clinics that are free to patients.

Dr. Brooks said physical health is not the only reason to quit smoking. Smoking will lead to higher health insurance rates and each pack of cigarettes costs money.

“There are a number of financial advantages to quitting smoking,” Dr. Brooks said.

For breast cancer, Dr. Brooks said genetics is a powerful component. Risk goes up with age, as it does with any cancer. Alcohol consumption and obesity also increase the risk of breast cancer.

For the general population, mammograms should start at age 40. However, Dr. Brooks said mammograms are less effective for younger women. If you have a close relative who had breast cancer at age 50 or younger, you should see a doctor and get genetic testing to determine your risk. The average age of breast cancer patients is age 60. – by Fritz Esker

 

Chronic Lower Respiratory Diseases

The term chronic lower respiratory diseases can cover a variety of ailments. Two of the most common ones are asthma and emphysema.

Asthma is a chronic condition where a person’s airways become inflamed. Once inflamed, these airways narrow and swell. It can cause difficulty breathing, chest pain, and in some cases death. The disease typically first manifests itself in childhood or adolescence, but it can develop in adulthood as well.

According to Dr. Glenn Gomes, a senior physician and pulmonologist at Ochsner Baton Rouge, pollution contributes to high levels of asthma in Louisiana.

“We have really high ozone levels in the air due to automobile exhaust, especially in East Baton Rouge Parish,” Dr. Gomes said. He added that the city has two major interstates running through it.

Dr. Gomes said socioeconomic factors can play a role in adult-onset asthma. How so? Poorer people are likelier to live in apartments with dust and cockroach issues. Dust particles can accumulate on surfaces, but also in old carpets in apartments that landlords refuse to change out.

For anyone wondering how cockroaches could contribute to asthma, the answer is predictably creepy. If a cockroach dies in a house or apartment in an area where the resident cannot see it and dispose of the body, the roach will decompose. As it decomposes, roach particles will float into the air. Much like dust, these particles can aggravate airways if people inhale them.

Dr. Gomes said the best things people can do to protect themselves in their homes is to dust regularly, change A/C filters and keep carpets clean.

Particulate matter in the air is also high in Louisiana. Dr. Gomes mentioned that people in Louisiana burn timber and sugar cane. When these particles get in the air, they enter airways and cause irritation.

Emphysema develops gradually over time and involves the slow destruction of lung tissue. While a small percentage of emphysema patients inherit the disease genetically due to a missing enzyme that causes the lungs to age prematurely, there is one very common cause and it should surprise no one.

“The vast majority of emphysema cases are related to smoking,” Dr. Gomes said. – by Fritz Esker
