Dr. Roxana Mehran & Dr. Alexandra Bastiany: Representing Women in the Cath Lab: Why it matters for both female cardiologists and female patients
Dr. Alexandra Bastiany and Dr. Roxana Mehran discuss the lack of representation of women in interventional cardiology, and the general lack of role models in cardiology for young black women. Dr. Bastiany shares her passion for interventional cardiology and how as a woman she is tuned in to the care gaps and diagnosis gaps of women with INOCA (ischemia with nonobstructive coronary arteries). Women make up a disproportionate portion of patients with INOCA, but their symptoms are often dismissed or downplayed, even though the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events is comparable to obstructive CAD.
