Summary
- Dr. Li Zhou is a general cardiologist and the medical director of our Women’s Heart Program. Her expertise and special interest are management of heart diseases during pregnancy and peripartum. Pregnancy is a very special stage that requires unique attention because every medication the mother takes will interfere with her baby. Many times, the mother’s heart condition also dictates how and when the baby will be delivered.
Before joining Norton Heart & Vascular Institute, Dr. Zhou led the Women’s Heart Clinic at Wake Forest University for over 6 years and was also the medical director of cardiac rehabilitation. She graduated from Zhejiang Medical University in Hangzhou China in 1998 and earned her PhD degree from the prestigious Peking Union Medical College in Beijing China in 2003. Dr. Zhou studied pathogenesis of atherosclerosis (how coronary artery disease develops) at University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas using genetically-modified murine models and won the Postdoctoral Fellowship Award of American Heart Association in 2008. She completed internal medical residency at Jacobi Medical Center of Albert Einstein College of Medicine in 2012 and had general cardiology training at University of Illinois at Chicago. In addition, Dr. Zhou led the ADAPTABLE trial at Wake Forest University and has over 30 publications on peer-reviewed journals such as New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA Cardiology etc.
Dr. Zhou advocates for women’s health as women’s heart diseases are often under-recognized and under-treated. She believes focusing on our women’s heart diseases will ultimately make our family and community healthier. Her philosophy of care is patient-centered care. She believes a physician needs to provide not only accurate information for their patient to make a reasonable decision, but also all the treatment options. The best treatment plan is the one that is tailored to the patient’s needs and value.
