This week, we talk with a luminary cardiologist about the heart in two senses.  First, we discuss how to take care of our hearts in the physical sense: What to do to keep our hearts healthy and beating for a long time to come. But, we all know there’s another, more metaphorical and perhaps even spiritual way of talking about our heart. It’s the organ to which we often attribute love, care, sadness, and many of our deepest feelings. So, we have a wide-ranging conversation, asking our guest what drew her to the field in the first place, how she approaches taking care of patients, and what deeper lessons she’s drawn from her work. Host David B. Feldman interviews Dr. Anu Lala, cardiologist and associate professor at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York.The post 12/18/23 Taking Care of Our Hearts appeared first on KPFA.
