Later this week, I’ll be attending the American Association for Thoracic Surgery (AATS) conference in Chicago—one of the most important gatherings of cardiac surgeons on the planet.
At AATS, I’ll be filming a new educational video series for patients with world-renowned heart valve experts, including Dr. Marc Gillinov (Cleveland Clinic), Dr. Patrick McCarthy (Northwestern Medicine), Dr. Bill Brinkman (Baylor Scott & White), Dr. Juan Pablo Umana (University of Miami), and Dr. Eric Roselli (Cleveland Clinic).
This is your opportunity to get real answers from the very best. If you have a question about heart valve disease—whether it’s about diagnosis, treatment options, recovery, or long-term care—you can ask it. I’ll do my best to get your question answered directly by one of these leading surgeons.
> Simply email your question to adam@heartvalvesurgery.com, and I’ll take it from there.
Looking forward to helping you get the answers you need!
Keep on tickin!
Adam
