heart attack in women

hi my name's laxmi mehta and i'm a cardiologistat the ross heart hospital. i specialize in prevention, women's cardiovascular healthand imaging. i chose the field of cardiology since heart disease largely affects many membersof my family and i know i'm at risk and i wanted to make a difference for myself, formy family and for my patients. my style of care is prevention. it can be either primaryor secondary prevention. we want to prevent

heart attack in women, the development of heart disease or preventfuture heart issues. i believe in a team-based approach that includes not only the patientbut the patients' family members and the other members of the healthcare team. as a teamwe can improve the patient's health and work together to advance their care. i enjoy workingat ohio state because we're at the forefront
