    Aug 11 2025

    Welcome to Cardiovascular Matters! In this episode, Dr. Craig Walker and Terry Roberts shed light on microvascular heart disease, a condition that affects many women — and is often overlooked or misdiagnosed.

    ✔ Why women are more frequently affected and often dismissed as having “nothing wrong.”
    ✔ How the Daisy Questionnaire and advanced imaging can aid in detection.
    ✔ Symptoms to watch for, even if your angiogram is “normal.”

  • Ep. 30 - Early Detection of Peripheral Vascular Disease: Why It Matters
    Jun 9 2025

    Welcome to Cardiovascular Matters! In this episode, Dr. Craig Walker and Terry Roberts dive into peripheral artery disease (PAD), a widespread yet frequently unnoticed condition that significantly increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, and amputation.

    Peripheral artery disease can silently progress without noticeable symptoms, especially in older adults or those with diabetes or a history of smoking. Dr. Walker discusses:

    ✔ Key risk factors for peripheral artery disease, including age, smoking, diabetes, and family history.
    ✔ How simple checks, such as feeling pulses in the feet and arms, can uncover hidden dangers.
    ✔ The importance of early detection through the Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) and vascular ultrasound.
    ✔ Effective lifestyle changes and medications that can halt or even reverse disease progression.
    ✔ Why recognizing PAD early not only saves limbs but also significantly reduces your risk of heart attack and stroke.

    If you're over 55, diabetic, have smoked, or have a family history of vascular disease, this episode is essential for your long-term health.
