Rebuilding Healthcare From the Ground Up: Andrew Rudin MD on Prevention, Evidence, and Root Causes. AI-Generated.
For much of modern history, medical progress has been measured by innovation. New medications, sophisticated imaging tools, and increasingly precise procedures have transformed once fatal illnesses into manageable conditions. These advances have saved millions of lives and remain essential to modern care. Yet alongside this success, a quieter problem has taken shape. Healthcare has gradually become oriented around treating disease after it appears, rather than preventing it from developing in the first place. According to Andrew Rudin MD, this imbalance now underlies many of the system’s most persistent failures.

Rethinking Modern Medicine: Andrew Rudin, MD, on Why Lifestyle Must Come Before Intervention
For much of the last half century, modern healthcare has followed a familiar pattern. When disease appears, the response is swift and technologically sophisticated. Prescriptions are written. Procedures are scheduled. Devices are implanted. From cholesterol lowering injections to elective cardiac stent placements, the prevailing narrative has been clear: advanced medicine is the primary solution, and lifestyle change is a secondary consideration, if it is considered at all.

Dr. Andrew Rudin, MD on the Quiet Reckoning Over Coronary Stents
Walk into almost any cardiology department today, and you’ll find coronary stents at the center of its operations. These tiny metal mesh tubes, inserted into arteries to restore blood flow, have become emblematic of modern cardiovascular care. In emergency settings, such as acute heart attacks, their use is often lifesaving and undisputed. But according to Dr. Andrew Rudin, MD, a nationally recognized cardiologist, there is an uncomfortable truth medicine has yet to fully confront: we are placing far too many stents in patients who may not actually need them.

Andrew Rudin MD | The Silent Risk in Modern Medicine: How Excessive Testing Is Harming Patients
As medicine becomes increasingly digitized, data-driven, and diagnostic-focused, a profound yet quiet problem is growing beneath the surface: overtesting. While diagnostics are vital in delivering effective healthcare, a surge in unnecessary tests is now linked not only to increased healthcare costs—but to physical harm, psychological distress, and even cancer.

Why I Believe in Thoughtful Heart Care by Andrew Rudin MD
When I first entered medicine, I imagined cardiology as a field of fast action—saving lives, opening blocked arteries, placing stents, rushing into the cath lab with urgency and purpose. And in many cases, that’s still true. There’s nothing more profound than restoring blood flow to a dying heart muscle during a heart attack. It never gets old. It never stops feeling miraculous.

Dr. Andrew Rudin’s Perspective on Precision in Cardiac Care
Stents have become a symbol of modern cardiology—a mechanical marvel that saves lives by opening clogged arteries and restoring blood flow. For many patients, the concept is simple: a blockage in the heart means a stent is necessary. But according to seasoned cardiologist Dr. Andrew Rudin, the reality is far more nuanced. The decision to place a stent should be guided by evidence, tailored to the patient, and made only after thoughtful dialogue. His advice is clear, and it comes from years of experience: think before you stent.

Dr. Andrew Rudin’s Advocacy for Thoughtful Intervention: Think Before You Stent
Modern cardiology has made extraordinary strides in treating heart disease, with coronary stents playing a leading role in saving lives. These small, mesh tubes are often inserted into narrowed arteries to restore blood flow to the heart—a procedure that can be the difference between survival and catastrophe during a heart attack. But while stents are invaluable in emergencies, Dr. Andrew Rudin, a respected voice in cardiology, urges a more cautious approach when it comes to non-emergent cases. His message is simple: Think before you stent.

Think Before You Stent: Dr. Andrew Rudin’s Guide to Smarter Heart Care
It’s a scene that plays out in cardiology offices every day: a patient undergoes a stress test or coronary angiogram, a blockage is discovered, and the phrase “you need a stent” quickly follows. The patient, often anxious and unfamiliar with the nuances of cardiac care, agrees—believing the stent will prevent a heart attack or cure their disease. But according to Dr. Andrew Rudin, a respected and experienced cardiologist, the decision to place a stent is one that deserves more thought, conversation, and context.
