In the last post, I told the story of a single woman with repeated chest pain. That is an exceedingly common problem. In my own practice, I had 25 women like that. They were all the same. None of these women had been diagnosed in the usual care system. Oh, they had stress tests and heart catherization, but minimal or no heart artery blockage was discovered. They were told it is not your heart, it is your esophagus, or worse, your heart is ok, just go home and take your Prozac.
Thank you, Bill for speaking boldly and honestly for the benefits of our families, friends, neighbors, and the mist importantly for women with metabolic heart diseases, (some are men, too). Let’s work together to fundamentally expose that and eliminate these injustices in the legacy American Medicine Kabuki Dance Theatre! Welcome to the 21st Century!
I had an MCG last winter. Very sobering results, although the week before I had visited my cardiologist who was compmetely unconcerned. I purposely went back to back because "in my heart" I know something is different.
The 1st Moderna Feb 21 gave me left arm, shoulder and chest pain and extreme fatigue for 4 weeks. I had never had this, ever before.
Cardiologist was completely unconcerned then too....
I think everyone should get a baseline MCG for a more I'd depth look at their cardiac status. Quick, painless, non invasive but you learn MUCH more than at a conventional doctor.
My post today is about heart failure as a metabolic disease. Monday will go deeper into that topic. Our focus on opening blockages is robbing many people like you of good health. The MCG is a good tool to screen for metabolic heart disease. We do too little too late.

Excellent column Dr. Bestermann!
Thanks Bill
