Tuesday, March 2, 2021, 12:00 AM - Tuesday, February 28, 2023, 11:59 PM, Online


The “Pioneers in Medicine” interview podcast series will present short conversations with internationally recognized leaders, who care for patients at Cedars-Sinai, and will discuss advances in the field through path breaking research.

Many of the diagnostic and treatment algorithms for heart disease were originally created by men, for men. But in 1984, more women died of heart disease than men for the first time. Since then, experts have turned their attention to this condition in women, including C. Noel Bairey Merz, MD, director of the Barbra Streisand Women’s Heart Center and the Preventive and Rehabilitative Cardiac Center. In our “Pioneers in Medicine” interview series, she shares more about advances in testing and the latest promising research with host Bruce L. Gewertz, MD, Surgeon-In-Chief, H&S Nichols Distinguished Chair in Surgery and Vice Dean, Academic Affairs.
