Our recent webinar, “SAVR vs. TAVR: What Should Patients Know?" was amazing! We had over 175 patients online together for this educational event with Dr. Charles Davidson, Professor of Medicine, Division of Cardiology, and Dr. Chris Malaisrie, Professor of Surgery, Division of Cardiac Surgery, at Northwestern Medicine. Both Drs. Davidson and Malaisrie specialize in surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) and transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR).

You can now access all the great information shared during the webinar via a free ebook and webinar video playback.

This live, 60-minute session connected patients in real-time to discuss aortic valve anatomy, aortic diseases, including aortic stenosis and aortic regurgitation, and various SAVR and TAVR treatment options.

If you missed the webinar... No problem! We just published a free eBook that is now ready for instant download.

In addition to the eBook, I also posted a free video recording of the webinar. Fyi, this video has already been watched over 500 times on YouTube alone.

On behalf of our patient community, I want to extend an extraordinary "Thank You!" to Dr. Charles Davidson and Dr. Chris Malaisrie for sharing their clinical research and experiences specific to SAVR and TAVR during this webinar.

Keep on tickin!
