Anne Rice is the international best-selling author of over 30 books, and unless you’ve been living under a coffin, she is best known for The Vampire Chronicles, including Interview with the Vampire which became a blockbuster movie.

Dr. Magliato works tirelessly to raise awareness of the #1 killer of women: heart disease. She literally wrote the book on this preventable disease, “Heart Matters.”

To better understand how she rose through the often challenging ranks of heart surgery, and to find out just what makes her tick,  I spoke with Dr. Magliato on The Women’s Eye Radio Show…
