Host: Lee Freedman, MD

Guest: Ruchira Glaser, MD

In most cases of cardiovascular disease, women present the same way as men. Yet more women suffer atypical symptoms and the mortality rate is higher for women. With this in mind, should we take a different approach to cardiovascular disease in women? Dr. Ruchira Glaser, assistant professor of medicine at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, talks with host Dr. Lee Freedman about the diagnostic value of vasospasms and exertion or resting pains, while also exploring structural concerns and the stratified risks of invasive therapy.
