Great news everybody!

I am very excited to announce that Dr. Robert Bonow, past president of the American Heart Association, and Dr. Patrick McCarthy, chief of cardiac surgery at Northwestern Memorial Hospital, will be hosting a special one-hour webinar on Wednesday, December 4, at 4:30pm CST.

If you are a pet owner, you are well aware of the joy that pets bring to your daily life. Pet owners may also receive another added benefit: longevity, according to a recent study by the American Heart Association (AHA).

We just had a great webinar about mitral valve repair surgery. (FYI, I'll be posting the transcript and video shortly.)

Hey everybody,

The response to our aortic stenosis infographic was extraordinary. Thus far, the infographic received over 300 Facebook 'Likes' and more than 135 Twitter posts.

Earlier today, I was reading the latest online edition of US News and World Report when I came across an interesting fact about infections that can lead to valvular disorders. That said, I thought you might like a daily dose of heart valve trivia.

I awoke this morning in Santo Domingo with a good feeling. During the day, that feeling transformed from good... to great... to inspired... to extraordinary. The source of that transformation was 'Day One' of the Mount Sinai Medical Mission at Hospital General de la Plaza de la Salud (HGPS) in the Dominican Republic. While I could ramble on-and-on about all that we experienced today, I thought it might be fun to share several pictures from this altruistic event.

Hey everybody,

Ready for some exciting news?

My dad, Jerry, just sent me this interesting note about the human body...

Over the past few months, I've received several pieces of constructive criticism that we needed to create a video library. Both patients and caregivers shared with me that our original videos were very helpful but scattered all over the website. I completely agreed.

On Friday, I celebrated my 7th anniversary from heart valve surgery.

Good news! Six years into this project, I finally made it to the American Heart Association conference.

On behalf of Ethan (my son) and Robyn (my wife), I wanted to wish all of the patients, caregivers, doctors, nurses, cardiac centers and medical device manufacturers, a very Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm just returning home to Los Angeles after spending the past few days at the Heart Valve Summit in Chicago. This special event brings together leading cardiologists and surgeons to discuss the optimum treatment of valve disease. Needless to say, the event was... Amazing!

Starting tomorrow, I'll be at the Heart Valve Summit in Chicago, Illinois. During the conference, I will be very fortunate to meet with several physicians that specialize in heart valve treatment including Dr. McCarthy, Dr. Chitwood, Dr. Bolling and Dr. Adams.

Hi everybody,

Great news!!!
