Reimagining Research: Enhancing Cardiac Care for Underrepresented Populations
Advances in Care Podcast - Episode 17
Dr. Mario Gaudino set out early in his career to study the difference between doing coronary artery bypass surgery through veins versus arteries but when he started to review the research findings he noticed something strange: there was no data on how coronary bypass surgery was different for women and people of color. As a matter of fact, the only thing doctors knew about coronary bypass surgery in women was that they had worse outcomes. Dr. Gaudino decided that needed to change and has since launched multiple studies focused on understanding the health outcomes of women and people of color undergoing coronary bypass surgery as well as working to define an improved, patient centric approach for clinical research.
