During his work in the Coronary Care Unit as a resident, Prediman K. Shah, MD, the Shapell and Webb Family Chair in Clinical Cardiology at Cedars-Sinai, was surprised by how many patients came in with heart attack, cardiogenic shock and unstable angina. This realization led to his decades of research on atherosclerosis and related conditions.
In our “Pioneers in Medicine” series, he shares the latest in coronary care and explains his progress toward generating drugs and vaccines to prevent the progression of atherosclerosis.
