S2E12: Raising Patient’s Treatment IQ with Wayne Batchelor, Director of Interventional Heart Program at Inova and host Dr. Nick. February is American Heart Month and this episode explores some of the origins of inequities found in cardiovascular disease in particular in the original research work as well as the diagnosis and treatment and focuses on how we can restore balance in this care and deliver the great care to all of our population. The progress in cardiology has been incredible. We are taking steps in the right direction to distribute the care available to our whole population. But to speed up that process requires we double down on education and updating our patients and clinical teams to the latest in available therapies. Your better pill to swallow is to enable the early identification of cardiovascular disease by empowering your primary care and public health teams with the information and tools to identify patients at risk. Provide the tools and resources to guide the patients into the available care options even if that requires referral and travel out of home networks.
