Episode description
Fasting is a routine part of preparing for a heart procedure. Research found through the SCOFF trial suggests that for certain procedures, removing the need to fast is safer and more comfortable for patients.
In this interview, Drs. Roxana Mehran and David Ferreira discuss new evidence from the SCOFF trial and the possibility of reconsidering fasting requirements in clinical guideline.
