In this episode of the Heart podcast, Digital Media Editor, Dr James Rudd, is joined by Professor Chris Gale and Dr Chris Wilkinson from Leeds University. They discuss their paper "Sex differences in quality indicator attainment for myocardial infarction: a nationwide cohort study". The paper discovered that more than 8,200 women in England and Wales (over a ten year period) could potentially have survived their heart attacks had they simply been given the same quality of treatment as men.
