In this week’s podcast, Peter and Stuart chat about coronary artery anomalies.
There are many different types of coronary artery anomalies such as an interarterial course and a coronary artery fistula. Peter and Stuart discuss a couple of recent patients who had a fistula, and were diagnosed thanks to a CT Coronary Angiography (CTCA) scan.
And, prompted by a recent patient enquiry about the risk of cardiovascular disease when using hormone replacement therapy (HRT), they also discuss the 5 things to consider when it comes to HRT and CVD.
