Women in Cardiology: A discussion on disparities
Despite many changes in the last two decades, women who work in Cardiology are still the minority. In this video, female cardiologists from the Massachusetts General Hospital Corrigan Minehan Heart Center talk about why it’s important to improve disparities in the field – for both their peers and patients.

sST2 Has Independent Prognostic Value for Patients with Chronic Heart Failure
Soluble suppression of tumorigenesis-2 (sST2), a biomarker related to inflammation and fibrosis, is strongly and independently predictive of all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality and hospitalization in patients with chronic heart failure, according to a recent meta-analysis.

Novel Noninvasive Scoring System Predicts Presence of Obstructive CAD
Noninvasive models to predict the presence of coronary artery disease may help reduce the societal burden of CAD.
Biography
After receiving an MD from the Eastern Virginia Medical School, she completed her residency in Medicine at the University of Virginia and cardiology fellowship at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (where she served as Associate Chief Fellow for Education and the Director of the Cardiology Board Review Conference). She completed an MPH with a concentration in Quantitative Methods at the Harvard School of Public Health to focus on evidence-based research methods and clinical care.
In addition, Dr. Gaggin has provided wide-ranging cardiac care and quality education material for physicians and patients. She is the co-editor of the MGH Cardiology Board Review book, which featured the expertise of over 70 faculty members and fellows. In addition, she has authored numerous review articles and book chapter for high-tier journals and preeminent textbooks.
