It’s time for another round of listener Q&A. Join us as we tackle audience questions about the genetic drivers of heart disease and the problem of specialization in medicine on the Science Dispatch podcast.
Join Cameron English and Dr. Chuck Dinerstein on Episode 135 of the Science Dispatch podcast as they discuss:
Genes and heart health: Is there a specific gene that increases heart-disease risk in black people? More importantly, does that knowledge improve our ability to treat individual patients?
Fragmented health care: Why is medicine so compartmentalized—divided into isolated specialties that treat specific body organs and ailments—and does this fragmentation hinder patient care?
