Celina Gorre's Journey with Coronary Microvascular Dysfunction

Celina Gorre is CEO of WomenHeart, a national coalition that promotes women’s heart health. But the irony is that Celina had been dealing with unexplained chest pain, sending her to the ER numerous times over the past two years. No one could pinpoint the exact cause of her chest pain until she met Dr. Hayder Hashim, who clinched the diagnosis: coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD). Thanks to this diagnosis, Celina has been able to manage her symptoms with medication. Watch now, as Celina and Dr. Hashim share their story with @nbcwashington and how the CDC can now track CMD to advance treatment that impacts millions of people worldwide.

This is great news! Recent research strongly suggests that this is a fairly common problem, but under-diagnosed. I was told it was "extremely rare." Having a code for it will increase awareness as well as allow the CDC to count the numbers and track outcomes.
