Henrik Lundqvist, the NHL superstar goalie of the New York Rangers, is doing an extraordinary job raising awareness to heart valve disease and aortic aneurysms.

First, Henrik released "Open Heart", a wonderful Netflix documentary that captures eloquent insights and moments from his own, personal journey through heart surgery.

Now, Henrik just posted a special podcast in which he interviews Dr. Eric Roselli, his heart surgeon from the Cleveland Clinic. As you may know, Dr. Roselli is a community favorite at HeartValveSurgery.com having successfully treated many patients in our community. (In addition to the podcast video below, you can listen to this fantastic interview on Spotify.)

From Saving Goals to Saving Lives!

Many thanks to Henrik for shining a BIG, BIG, BIG light on heart valve disease and aortic aneurysms which are life-threatening cardiac conditions that are sadly under-diagnosed and under-treated.

Thanks to "Open Heart" and this podcast, Henrik has gone from saving goals to saving lives!

And, as always, many thanks to Dr. Roselli and the entire team at Cleveland Clinic for taking such great care of Henrik!
