In a recent patient survey, we learned that 53% of patients are not aware of the critical role that an interventional cardiologist plays within a heart team.

So, to help you learn about the importance of interventional cardiology for the lifetime treatment of heart valve disease, we just spent an entire day with Dr. Raj Makkar, a world-renowned interventional cardiologist who has performed over 7,000 transcatheter heart valve procedures that did not require an incision to the patient's chest or ribs.

Many thanks to Dr. Raj Makkar for the special invitation to learn more about interventional cardiology and the use of transcatheter devices for the treatment of diseases including aortic stenosis and mitral regurgitation.

Keep on tickin!
