District 6 Recap - February 21, 2019

If a patient has a mechanical heart valve, what treatments can we use for CAD/PAD? What if it’s an artificial biological valve, is there a significant difference? CAD and PAD affect a large percentage of the population and the treatments vary based on numerous factors.

District 6 tackled these questions at their causal dinner on Thursday, Feb. 21 at Lewisburg Hotel in Lewisburg, PA. Members exchanged stories and treatments about the situations they each face. One person’s case example led to another similar story. The group compared suggested treatment plans and learned from each other.
