Vermont Business Magazine A talk about women’s heart health by Dartmouth-Hitchcock’s Dr Bina Ahmed, an interventional cardiologist, drew 120 people to the Taconic Hotel on Wednesday evening. During the talk, Dr Ahmed revealed differences in heart disease in men and women, including the ways it is commonly treated. She revealed three heart diagnoses that occur mostly or only in women.
The talk was sponsored by Southwestern Vermont Medical Center’s Department of Cardiology and is part of an ongoing series called Medicine Today. The next Medicine Today lecture is about sleep and health and is scheduled for October. It will be presented by Dartmouth-Hitchcock sleep medicine expert Brooke Judd, MD.
