The leading edge of cardiovascular care and cardiac repair

The human heart is an incredible machine, beating roughly 100,000 times a day without rest, endlessly pumping and contracting to its own bioelectric rhythm. It’s a lot of hard work — and the kind that can’t be obstructed or interrupted. During this free lecture series, hear directly from the experts about the latest life-saving possibilities in minimally invasive surgery and structural heart repair, as well as how patients are benefiting from lasting lifestyle changes designed for cardiovascular longevity. A brief Q&A follows each presentation.
