In today's podcast episode, we discuss the basics of a treatment plan and how protocols are established. We walk through the current treatment modalities for coronary artery disease (CAD), valvular disease (aortic stenosis and regurgitation, and mitral regurgitation), and electrical abnormalities such as atrial fibrillation (Afib). My goal with this podcast is to give you a general understanding, so you don't have to hear about these treatment processes for the first time in a doctor's office.
