Educational Video: Dr. Marc Gillinov & Dr. Nissen Address Heart Disease On PBS
Page Last Updated: May 17, 2026
In case you missed it, Dr. Marc Gillinov and Dr. Steven Nissen were just on the Tavis Smiley show on PBS. It's a great interview that addresses several issues specific to cardiac disease including prevention, lifestyle choices, healthcare reform, diet, exercise, medical advances, workplace incentives, myths and treatment. Unfortunately, the video has been removed from PBS but I found this video that talks about the new book.
Video available online at:

If you are interested to learn more about Dr. Gillinov's and Dr. Nissen's research, they recently published Heart 411, a fascinating book about heart disease and prevention.
Keep on tickin!
