[Update: Great news! Earlier today, our patient webinar, "Lifetime Management of Congenital Pulmonary Heart Valve Disease", was excellent! To watch a playback of the video at YouTube, please click this link.]

What should patients (and their parents) know about the complex anatomy of a congenital pulmonary valve defect? How can new innovations and minimally-invasive therapies help patients throughout their lives?

Get answers to these important questions when Dr. Rose Tompkins, Dr. Jay Pruetz, Dr. Melita Viegas and Dr. Stephen Nageotte from Cedars-Sinai join me for a LIVE and FREE patient webinar, "The Lifetime Management of Congenital Pulmonary Valve Disease", this Thursday, December 11, at 6pm EST.

Over 300 patients have already registered for the webinar. Click here to sign up now.

The webinar will also have a live and interactive "Questions & Answers" session that will enable you to ask Dr. Rose Tompkins, Dr. Jay Pruetz, Dr. Melita Viegas and Dr. Stephen Nageotte your questions about heart valve surgery.

This is going to be great. I kook forward to seeing you on the webinar!

Keep on tickin!
Adam
