The ability to diagnose an imminent heart attack has long been considered the holy grail of cardiovascular medicine.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Awareness about heart disease has got to be raised.
I want the public to know the truth, not every condition affecting the heart comes from a blockage.
It's never too late to take your heart health seriously and make it a priority.
I am a doctor. I have long experience with heart disease.
You know I used to be a heartthrob, and now I'm a coronary.
It's not the heart that compels conclusions in cases, it's the law.
The stethoscope for listening to the heart is over. It's obsolete.
I use a portable pocket ultrasound device instead of a stethoscope to listen to the heart, and I share it with the patient in real time. 'Look at your valve, look at your heart-muscle strength.' So they're looking at it with me. Normally a patient is tested by an ultrasonographer who is not allowed to tell them anything.
The reactions of the human heart are not mechanical and predictable but infinitely subtle and delicate.
I am a medical scientist, not a practical physician. I think it's very upfront. I am a doctor. I have long experience with heart disease.
