Cardiology, radiology professionals unite to explore the challenges of diagnosing CAD in women
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is both underdiagnosed and undertreated in women, and they often receive less guideline-recommended care than men. Why do these disparities persist? And what can today’s healthcare providers do to bring about change?
A new webinar hosted by Cardiovascular Business and Heartflow, a leader in artificial intelligence-based coronary CT angiography (CCTA) evaluations, aims to address those very questions. The webinar will include in-depth talks from three clinicians who specialize in the diagnosis and management of CAD in women. A live Q&A session will follow.
Specialists participating in the webinar include:
- Malissa Wood, MD, vice president and chief physician executive of the Lee Health Heart Institute and a professor at Florida State College of Medicine
- Cristina Fuss, MD, PhD, chief of cardiothoracic imaging and a professor of radiology and biomedical imaging at Yale School of Medicine
- Daniela Crousillat, MD, director of the Tampa General Hospital Women's Heart Program and a cardiologist and echocardiographer with USF Health
Wood, Fuss and Crousillat will discuss their own perspective on this topic and explore the potential impact of pairing CCTA with advanced technologies to help identify more women with CAD.
This webinar was designed to help healthcare executives, cardiologists, interventional cardiologists, cardiac imaging specialists, radiologists, cardiovascular service line and cath lab directors, imaging leaders, CT technologists and any other healthcare professionals working to improve care for women with suspected CAD.
The webinar, “Challenges of Diagnosing CAD in Women,” is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday, April 22. Participation is 100% free.
