Judith Hochman Says Study Shows Drugs Just as Good as Stents
Judith Hochman, director of cardiovascular clinical research at New York University School of Medicine, talks with Bloomberg's Kathleen Hays from New Orleans about a study on the benefits of stents to patients with heart disease. The findings suggest heart disease should be treated first with cholesterol and blood pressure-lowering medicine rather than with angioplasty, a procedure in which a balloon-tipped catheter opens clogged arteries and stents, tiny mesh tubes, keep them clear. Hochman speaks from the American College of Cardiology meeting.(Source: Bloomberg)
