Featured speakers include Dr. Joanna Chikwe, Chair of the Department of Cardiac Surgery in the Smidt Heart Institute of Cedars-Sinai, Dr. Jaime Burkle, Clinical Manager of the Piedmont Heart Perimeter Office, and John Roland, a heart valve patient treated during COVID-19.

COVID-19 & Heart Surgery Webinar Invitation

During this special online event, we will answer important questions including:

What is the newest research about COVID-19 and its impact on the heart and heart valves?
Are patients with heart valve disease at more or less risk for getting infected with COVID-19?
Why and how should patients actively monitor heart valve disease symptoms during COVID-19?
What are the risks (and potential health emergencies) for patients who delay seeking treatment for heart valve disease?
What new safety protocols have hospitals implemented to ensure the safety of heart valve patients during COVID-19?

We will also have a live "Questions & Answers" session where YOU can ask your questions LIVE to Dr. Chikwe, Dr. Burkle and John.

This webinar is co-sponsored by Medtronic & Abbott.

Keep on tickin!
