What do you think? Is the tricuspid valve still known as the “Forgotten Valve” in medical circles? Are tricuspid valve patients still not getting diagnosed or treated for this serious, complicated and debilitating disease?

To answer these important questions, we were very fortunate to interview Dr. Gorav Ailawadi, the Chair of Cardiac Surgery at Michigan Medicine. Click here to see our video interview with Dr. Ailawadi about the “forgotten valve”.

Thanks Dr. Ailawadi and Michigan Medicine!

Many thanks to Dr. Gorav Ailawadi for taking the time to share his clinical experiences and research with our patient community. And, many thanks to Michigan Medicine for taking such great care of heart valve surgery patients!

Keep on tickin!
