Clinical Sleep Solutions sponsored a Continuing Medical Education session for local GPs this past weekend. Dr. Annie Chou, board-certified Cardiologist and Director of the General Cardiology Clinic at St. Paul’s Hospital gave a presentation on Women and Cardiovascular Disease to a group of family doctors in Burnaby. Dr. Chou discussed how Cardiovascular Disease can present differently in women and men and what doctors need to be aware of when treating female patients with symptoms of heart disease. One of the key concepts discussed was the importance of working with patients to address their risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, and lifestyle, so that Heart Disease can be prevented before it leads to serious consequences. Clinical Sleep Solutions was pleased to be able to provide this valuable educational opportunity to local doctors!
