I wrote about Jean in early January. I have brought the story forward because most of you have not seen it. The update is in bold print. Women with repeated chest pain represent the biggest disconnect between evidence and medical practice in the United States. Many women have heart attacks who don’t have heart artery blockages. When I wrote about women and heart artery disease on Oct 26, 2021, my neighbor Jean called me. She said, “I read your article, and I might be one of these women.” That got my attention. Jean is a wonderful lady. She is a great neighbor. She would do anything for you. She always has a smile on her face. She is a registered nurse, and her husband is a nurse anesthetist. They are both bright people. They are both medical professionals, and through no fault of their own, they did not know she had heart artery disease.
There are a number of valuable comments and perspectives here. This is part of what I am hoping to achieve. I welcome your ideas that will accelerate the changes that will slow aging and delay chronic illness for millions of Americans.
I am familiar with Dr Shen & his MCG: BOTH are first rate and I recommend them. Bill Besterman has written this well and is absolutely correct, H. Robert Silverstein, MD, FACC
Thanks Dr. Silverstein. It is great to have this public affirmation. Dr. Silverstein leads a preventive medicine center in Hartford Connecticut and provides preventive cardiology services.
Thank you for your reporting! Let’s get her tested to demonstrate the functional improvements physiologically. This is another example which we learn from and to help countless people who suffer the similar metabolic cardiovascular disease, a easily reversible lifestyle disease, in our view.

Absolutely! The key is to be able to measure and present the dysfunctions and their functional reversal graphically in a understandable manner people can associate and accept. They will realize that for the first time in medical history, this deadly “invisible” disease using all the current imaging tests can actually be detected and reversed with very little fanfare!
Thank you for your article and Dr. Shen's involvement not to mention Amy and Ramy for their time and travel. I would still be in the dark and may have had a bad outcome. I hope others can benefit from my experience and live healthier and longer lives too.
You have stepped up and with pretty simple changes your life is very different. I just entered "women Women's Ischemic Syndrome Evaluation" into Pubmed Central and I found 35 scientific articials related to the NIH sponsored research that describes women with the kind of chest pain you have. There is a mountain of evidence to support what you did an I am so delighted that you are safer. Keep up the good work

Thanks Robert! Hope you are doing well! Please call me.
This is a true life saver for Women!
Great to hear from you Bekki. The pharmacist perspective is critical to the discussion.

Her pain is gone and she feels better. There is an opportunity to help millions of women with better care now.
