Description
Expand your idea of ischemic heart disease to include non-obstructive patterns, which as our guest, Dr Noel Bairey Merz, a clinical investigative cardiologist whose multiple roles include Director of the Barbra Streisand Women’s Heart Center and the Preventive Cardiac Center at the Smidt Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute, shares with us, is incredibly common, especially in women. Learn to recognize these women and treat according to guidelines, preventing unnecessary IHD mortality in our female (and some male) patients. We review a variety of non-obstructive pathologies and the best techniques to evaluate them. Full show notes available at http://thecurbsiders.com/podcast.
