Cardiology director says there's one heart measure Sanders could disclose but hasn't

Exclusive: By releasing one simple indicator of his heart health, Sanders could address lingering questions, the president of the American College of Cardiology says.

WASHINGTON — Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders has resisted calls to release additional medical information in the wake of a heart attack he suffered in October.

"We have released as much" medical information "as any other candidate," the independent senator from Vermont said on NBC News' "Meet the Press" this month.

When pressed on whether he would release more, Sanders responded that "you can start releasing medical records and it never ends."

But by releasing one simple indicator of his heart health, Sanders could address some lingering questions, Richard Kovacs, president of the American College of Cardiology, or ACC, told NBC News.

MUCH more at the link...definitely a "good read"!
