WSU Spokane Study Helping Fight Heart Disease

Test Reveals Artery Disease Before Attack. The Spokane Heart Study led by Harry Mielke, M.D., has shown the value of a simple, safe, noninvasive, rapid and cost-effective diagnostic test that will reveal coronary artery disease before the first heart attack or other warning episode. The American Heart Association and Centers for Disease Control both say that more than half the people in the United States at risk of coronary artery disease have no idea that they have it. The Spokane Heart Study is the nation’s longest-running study of heart disease. Contact Dr. Mielke at 509.358.7632, mielkeh@wsu.edu.
