About Clotcast Season 1
Heart disease is a leading cause of death worldwide, killing nearly 18 million people every year. More than 80% of these deaths occur after a heart attack or stroke. In the US alone, heart disease claims a life every 36 seconds and continues to be the #1 cause of death among most underserved communities and people of color.
Heart disease is preventable – but there are many factors that can impact a person’s risk beyond lifestyle and genetics. Clotcast aims to explore some of these underrecognized issues, such as medication adherence and patient-clinician communication. In this five-episode series, our esteemed host, Dr. Neil Skolnik, Professor of Family and Community Medicine at the Sidney Kimmel Medical College – Thomas Jefferson University, brings clinicians and patients together to discuss lessons learned from their collective experiences with thrombosis, heart disease, and the healthcare system at large.
