Coronary Artery Disease in Women: Utilizing CCTA to Make an Accurate Diagnosis

Listen In!

We need to change the conversation on women, chest pain and coronary artery disease (CAD). Two leading experts will review women’s unique biology, risk factors, and presenting symptoms of heart disease during this webinar. They also will discuss better ways to detect and diagnose CAD, and how cardiac CT and FFRCT can identify those at-risk and in need of treatment. Join us to learn how cardiovascular (CV) teams can identify women at risk of CAD who are most likely to benefit from further testing and treatment.

Cardiologist urges cath labs to adopt radiation shields: ‘It is time to protect ourselves’

The shields can significantly reduce radiation exposure, according to cardiologist David G. Rizik, MD. He said they also allow cardiologists, nurses and other cath lab employees to provide care without wearing lead aprons.
