During this online event, you will learn answers to important questions including:

  • What is mitral valve disease? How does it progress? What are the symptoms? What are the risks?
  • What are the different techniques used to repair or replace a diseased mitral valve?
  • Why should patients know about the advantages of mitral valve repair?
  • How are new minimally-invasive and non-invasive devices helping patients? How might new clinical trials transform the future of mitral valve treatment?
  • What actionable advice does Dr. Chikwe have for patients with mitral valve disease?

We will also have an interactive “Questions & Answers” session where YOU can ask your questions to Dr. Chikwe. This is going to be great!

Keep on tickin!
