" stating someone is correct just because they are a "leading expert" or have a phd,md,pe etc. "
as in, of course, being weighed against, oh, say, um, like, opinion of anonymous info on stock chat boards? Yeah, I can see that?

"I took an undergrad class". I took lots too, and many way beyond that, don't need to "google" a thing. That M.D., commenting on effects of heart scar tissue, also took a lot of "undergrad classes" and then about another 12 yrs of schooling/residency and then more specialty training to reach the title "Cardiologist" and is also the spokesperson for a major, publishing/published, peer reviewed, highly credible cardiology association. Again, I know where I'd put my chips and what info I'd rate in the "more credible" category of medical information.

But hey, that's just me and my opinions only of course. If stock boards are one's source of "medical information", and issues regarding "cardiology/heart research" it's a free country. Good luck.

Oh, found her resume/curriculum vitae too: She's ONLY published over FIVE HUNDRED times. Has been in practice as a cardiologist it appears for about 24 yrs now. Done numerous clinical and research studies, etc. Seems pretty flush to me, as opposed, to say, an M.S. in a field of chemical engineering and has never practiced medicine or obtained a board cert as a licensed Cardiologist, kinda like something like that many boast about endlessly?

Just happens to be, "Editor-in-chief of the Journal of Interventional Cardiology"
(must of took a few undergrad classes to get that position?)

"After completing her medical training at Ohio State University, and a cardiology fellowship at the University of Michigan, Dr. Grines spent three years as an assistant professor of medicine and director of interventional cardiology at the University of Kentucky at Lexington. She has practiced in Michigan since 1990.

Dr. Grines is widely acclaimed for her research in acute myocardial infarction and has initiated and designed the PAMI studies, which have brought primary angioplasty to the forefront as a leading reperfusion strategy revolutionizing the management of heart attack patients. Listed in the “Best Doctors in America,” Dr. Grines has earned worldwide recognition and respect as a leading interventional cardiologist and researcher, participating in numerous clinical research trials, with over 500 publications, numerous book chapters and hundreds of medical journal articles regarding cardiac catheterization, angioplasty, acute myocardial infarction, chemical intervention to break down arterial blockage, and gene therapy.

She is also editor-in-chief of the Journal of Interventional Cardiology, serves on the editorial boards of many leading national and international medical journals, and has co-edited several medical handbooks.
Dr. Grines is a member of the American Heart Association, American College of Cardiology, the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions, and is an active participant in their scientific programs and committees.

In the medical community, she is well-known for her expertise in the fields of acute myocardial infarction, coronary reperfusion and percutaneous revascularization procedures and lectures extensively throughout the United States and abroad."

An expert in " acute myocardial infarction"- know who's "opinion" or input I'd follow. Yep. But that's just me and my opinion.
